use drupal hook_nodeapi
i have a page tweety which contains a single form where a user enters a word in a textbox and in on pressing search the tweet开发者_C百科s corresponding to that word are displayed.
I want to use hook_nodeapi to add these tweets but i want those things only on a specific url not all the page(or any node type).
I ll use hook_menu to make that page and display the form for the search. What should i do after that. I knw the twiiter api to fetch the tweets so that is not a issue.
I think what you're attempting to do is have the tweets load on a predetermined page by passing the posted information to the page, is that correct?
There's a couple ways I think you could accomplish this - easiest, and not requiring any complex ahah scripting would be to take the word they enter and generate a path which you could then use to make the page in question.
Make a menu Item:
function mymodule_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['mymodule/tweets/%'] = array(
'title' => t('Tweets about' . check_plain(array(2))),
'page callback' => 'mymodule_tweet_display',
'page arguments' => array(2) // This is the 3rd argument in the path, the %
);
}
In your form, you'll need to send the user to this path so add to your hook_submit function:
$tweet_topic = $form_state['values']['your-field-name-here'];
drupal_goto('mymodule/tweets/' . $tweet_topic);
Now add your page module, this is where you can use the twitter api:
function mymodule_tweet_display($tweet_topic) {
$tweet_topic = check_plain($tweet_topic);
// Use this variable in your Twitter API call
// ...
// Make sure you assign your display content to the page by returning a variable
return $page;
}
