Hi out there,

I am not so firm to the things of the repo/svn/trac, just learning to
work with it. When working on a page we made up the Linkify of the
Twitter-Plugin and fixed it.

Here is the Snippet that someone should work into the code:

// replace urls with links
$tweet->text = preg_replace("/(http:\/\/\S*)/", "<a href=\"$1\">$1</
a>", $tweet->text);
// link twitter usernames
$tweet->text = preg_replace("/(@(\S*))/", "<a href=\"http://
twitter.com/$2\">$1</a>", $tweet->text);
// link to hash tags (maaaan are web 2.0 or w00t?!)
$tweet->text = preg_replace("/(#(\S*))/", "<a href=\"http://
hashtags.org/search?query=$2&submit=Search\">$1</a>", $tweet->text);

regards
Florian

Thanks for this, Florian, but I'm having one problem with it - it
doesn't seem to get rid of punctuation. So if the update is:

@florian What links to #habari? What about http://habariproject.org?

the links have the question marks in them.

Having quite comprehensively having spammed Twitter, their
linkification does the following:

Maybe their will be further fixes in near future I will give it back
to the one who made it up.

We also work on something else (coming soon) and fixed it just cause
we build upon original twitter plugin.

So maybe their will be a better version in near future :)

Speaking of further fixes, here is the regex I ended up committing:

/* link to all http: */
$theme->tweet_text = preg_replace( '%https?://\S+?(?=(?:[.:?"!$&\'()*
+,=]|)(?:\s|$))%i', "<a href=\"$0\">$0</a>", $theme->tweet_text );
/* link to usernames */
$theme->tweet_text = preg_replace( "/(?<!\w)@([\w-_.]{1,64})/", "@<a
href=\"http://twitter.com/$1\">$1</a>", $theme->tweet_text );
/* link to hashtags */
$theme->tweet_text = preg_replace( '/(?<!\w)#((?>\d{1,64}|)[\w-.]
{1,64})/',
"<a href=\"" . Options::get('twitter__hashtags_query') ."$1\">#$1</
a>", $theme->tweet_text );

Seems to work and match very closely to the behavior of the twitter
linkification.
