For those looking for a temporary solution to this, you could always drop in the original _auto_link mod:

function _auto_link($ret) {
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])([w]+?://[w]+[^ "nrt< ]*)#", "\1<a >\2</a>", $ret);
   $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[n ])((www|ftp).[^ "tnr< ]*)#", "\1<a >\2</a>", $ret);
   $ret = preg_replace("/@(w+)/", "<a >@\1</a>", $ret);
   $ret = preg_replace("/#(w+)/", "<a >#\1</a>", $ret);
   return $ret;
}

For the EE2 version, this can be dropped in as an extra method just under the _parse_twitter_date function. Then on line 175 just above the $val[‘count’] = $count; line, add:

$val['text'] = $this->_auto_link($val['text']);

Turn off the params in the EE tag as well. i.e. just use {exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="name" twitter_refresh="1" limit="1"}

Take a backup of your existing Twitter plugin though. EE1 mods required to do this are also probably fairly similar to this.

oskarsmith,

Thanks for posting your mod

No worries, although I can’t take credit for it. I think it probably came from Pascal Kriete originally? I can’t quite remember. Relevant old thread is perhaps this one.

Thanks for the update.

Hi - just to responding to oskarsmith’s post, can you maybe post the code for an EE2 user, regarding what you said here:

For the EE2 version, this can be dropped in as an extra method just under the _parse_twitter_date function

Just want to make sure I don’t use the wrong syntax. Thanks.

I am going to split a part of this thread off to the CodeShare Corner. Thanks.
