Update Twitter Status From Opera Address Bar

Thursday, July 24, 2008 9:44:36 PM

UPDATE: I posted an update http://my.opera.com/edvakf/blog/show.dml/18510682

Just add a new search engine to your Opera and configure as below.

Then type

tw blah_blah_your_status_blah_blah

into your address bar.

*Tips*

1. ~~According to the twitter API documentation, the posting status has to be encoded with UTF-8, but I can do it with iso-8859-15, which Opera writes to search.ini by default.~~
There was a slight change on the API, apparently. You have to do the above with UTF-8. Since there is no GUI way to do it on Opera, the easiest way is to right click on Twitter's Status update field and choose "Create Search...", then input the above!

2. The callback will be an XML data, which will be shown ugly-ly in your Opera. ~~But if you set the default view as "mobile" (or go to http://m.twitter.com once) then the xml page will be directed automatically to your friends' timeline!~~

**UPDATE 2008-12-19**

Try this UserJS to redirect the XML page to twitter home.

// ==UserScript==
// @include http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml
// ==/UserScript==
location.href='http://twitter.com/'

But you need to enable opera:config#opera:config#Always Load User JavaScript

**TILL HERE**

3. OperaAddressBar is now officially supported as a Twitter client.

Really nice. I've seen others using the address bar "trick", but it's cool that you made it a registered app.

Thanks a lot man! It works great!

But it doesn't show up as from "OperaAdressBar" and yes, I used the POST and typed the input like this in it:

status=%s&source=operaadressbar

Can you please help me solve my problem?

Thanks.

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage # Thursday, September 18, 2008 1:06:16 PM

spelling is crucial. operaaddressbar != operaadressbar

I'm getting "403 Forbidden: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it." I'm logged in, so what am I doing wrong?

Edit: had "status" instead of "statuses" in the string. My bad. *sigh*

CharlieBAMAToNE # Friday, February 13, 2009 8:18:30 PM

Sweet redirect script!

@zikzakatak

Look at the **UPDATE 2008-12-19** part in this article. You can use the UserJS to redirect the XML page to twitter home (or whatever page you like).

Thanks!

This is a really good hack - It made me try out twitter btw - but I am getting quickly over 140 xters easily.

Is there not a way of using js to do a counter for the addressbar ?

This appear dead ?
------
<errors>
<error code="53">
Basic authentication is not supported
</error>
</errors>
---
that's what I get now..

dapxin # Thursday, September 9, 2010 10:39:20 AM

right. So twitter disabled basic authentication, so this is probably unuseable now

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage # Saturday, September 11, 2010 4:33:43 PM

Sad but true.

You can try this out http://streamie.org/
