Tweet set intersection defined by rules

    How do I take the intersection of several rules? I want to only display hashtags from a specific user. Yet, I have been struggling for quite some time now.

    One strategy I tried:
    Set each rules to a unique Tag and implement via 

    <?php fetchTweets( array( 'tag' => 'developer', 'operator' => 'AND' ) ); ?>

    I am using a keyword rule and user rule. That is the only explanation I have for why this is not working.

    I have also attempted to implement via:

    <?php fetchTweets( array_intersect(array( 'tag' => 'echo'), array('tag' => 'Sugarsnap_name') ) );

    To no avail.

    What should I do?

    Hi,

    With tags and the operator parameter, the plugin can only take the intersection of rules by API request basis, not by each tweet.

    So to display tweets with certain hashtags from a specific user, you would need to create your own template. The instruction for creating a custom template is in the Other Notes page.

    In the loop of the tweet array, you would want to add something like this:

    if ( stripos( $arrTweet['text'], '#WordPress' ) === false ) continue;

    Maybe, whitelist and blacklist options are implemented in a future release.

    Okay, got it. Thank you.
    I made my new theme – everything is going expected.

    However, I am not able to turn off the description for that matter. And, this redundant workflow is a buzz-kill as well.

    Several questions:
    Whenever I make a change to the rules and then the widget, why do I then have to update the page manually for them to show?

    Also, why do I select a template for the widget menu as well? This is extremely confusing. Am I supposed to be running two themes simultaneously on the same feed?

    I’m having the hardest time removing the follow and description from my feed. I have set their default values to false, and set the settings to default in WordPress. Still nothing.

    What should I do?

    Thanks again, miunosoft.

    Hi, wittedhaddock.

    However, I am not able to turn off the description for that matter.

    What description? The tweet text or the users’ profile text or something else?

    And, this redundant workflow is a buzz-kill as well.

    Which workflow is redundant?

    I’m having the hardest time removing the follow and description from my feed.

    The term feed implies multiple meanings.

    • The WordPress RSS feeds
    • The Twitter API’s request output – some call this feed
    • The plugin has an extension named Feeder which enables to output the fetched tweets as RSS feed.

    So I’m unable to determine which feed you are referring to.

    I have set their default values to false, and set the settings to default in WordPress. Still nothing.

    How did you set their default values? In the template or in the setting page? And I’m unable to comprehend what you mean by “set the settings to default in WordPress.”

    Regarding the rest of your questions, could you post new topics keeping one question per topic? That way, it helps other users to find similar problems they get.

    Thank you!

    Actually, I found an easy way.

    1. Go to Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets -> Add Rule by Keyword Search.
    2. Type #HASHTAG AND from:SCREENNAME in the Search Keyword meta box option field.

    Change the #HASHTAG to your searching hash tag and SCREENNAME to the account’s screen name to fetch tweets from.

    3. Create a rule by pressing the Publish button.

    Hope it helps.
