Question

I am using a twitter plugin that is being set with these options:

jQuery(function($){
    $(".tweet").tweet({
        username: "username",
        count: 3,
        template: "{avatar}{text}{time}",
        loading_text: "loading tweets..."
    });
});

And I have option values being rendered by a CMS that I would like to add to the options above.

For example:

<span class="twitteruser">{tag_twitter username}</span>
<span class="twittercount">{tag_tweets}</span>

Now the {tag_twitter username} will render whatever the user has added in the backend (same as tag_tweets). I would like to take those two values and add them into the username and count above.

Haven’t managed to write anything remotely usable for this all day.

Answer 1

jQuery(function($){
    $(".tweet").tweet({
        username     : $(".twitteruser").text(),
        count        : parseInt($(".twittercount").text()),
        template     : "{avatar}{text}{time}",
        loading_text : "loading tweets..."
    });
});
