How To Display Your Total Number Of Followers
22.06.09 by Jerome in Tutorials
If you are starting to be a rock star blogger and have 100 and 100′s of followers and subscribers, why not show to the world how many followers you have from your feed subscriber and Twitter followers. Of course you could use Feedburner or TwitterCounter script but why not create your own with just few lines of PHP. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Jung from wprecipes.com for the solution.
Twitter Followers Count
Paste the following php code on your functions.php file:
function string_getInsertedString($long_string,$short_string,$is_html=false){ if($short_string>=strlen($long_string))return false; $insertion_length=strlen($long_string)-strlen($short_string); for($i=0;$isaveHTML(); $element->parentNode->removeChild($element); $html2=$document->saveHTML(); return string_getInsertedString($html,$html2,true); } function getFollowers($username){ $x = file_get_contents("http://twitter.com/".$username); $doc = new DomDocument; @$doc->loadHTML($x); $ele = $doc->getElementById('follower_count'); $innerHTML=preg_replace('/^<[^>]*>(.*)<[^>]*>$/',"\\1",DOMElement_getOuterHTML($doc,$ele)); return $innerHTML; }
And simply paste the following code where you want the total number to show and replace pimpmywordpress with your Twitter username.
Feedburner Subscribers
Simply paste the following code where you wish:
<?php $fburl=”https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=YourURL“; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $fburl); $stored = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $grid = new SimpleXMLElement($stored); $rsscount = $grid->feed->entry['circulation']; echo $rsscount; ?>
