I’ll tell you the same thing @themolitor told me today when he was in my shoes and i was in yours

“The “self promotion” prohibition applies to your items on the marketplace. The moderators said it was okay to promote stuff that helps the community (FYI).”

+1

If this weren’t allowed it’d just stifle the sharing of knowledge… and sharing knowledge is kinda the point of the forums in the first place.

sorry to say but even stuff thats of help for the community which is written or created by yourself is selfpromotion

trust me i know, this has been pointed out by the mods a while back.(so why does the mods say this now?)

What you are saying is that everybody who has an blog can post on threads there post about some item/subject…..

Ohh cmn today was the first and for now last time i said that. How come is that daily basis?

And @themolitor said that it’s not forbidden if it helps the community, and i believe him.

@ronka – Sure, everything you find there you can use for whatever you like and however you like.

Guys, he’s not posting the link because he wants everyone to click it and visit his site. He’s posting it because it’s a legitimate solution to this guy’s problem that just happens to be written by him. I’m pretty sure that’s fine.

Thanks @potshot

@everybody else

I reported my own post, the moderators will figure out what to do with it, don’t want to be the bad guy here.

PHP (change TwitterProfileName)

function parse_feed($feed) {
    $stepOne = explode("<content type="\\"html\">", $feed);
    $stepTwo = explode("</content>", $stepOne[1]);
    $tweet = $stepTwo[0];
    $tweet = str_replace("&lt;", "<", $tweet);
    $tweet = str_replace("&gt;", ">", $tweet);
    return $tweet;
}

function getTweet(){
$feed = "http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from:TwitterProfileName&rpp=1";
$twitterFeed = file_get_contents($feed);
echo parse_feed($twitterFeed);
}

jQuery (change username)

$.getJSON("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/username.json?callback=?", function(data) {
     $("#theIdOfTheElement").html(data[0].text);
});
