Blog posts by Peter Sunna2009-11-19T11:37:37.0000000Zhttps://world.optimizely.com/blogs/Peter-Sunna/ Optimizely World As seen on Tech Forum: The Twitter channel gadget<p>Inspired by Twingly channels me, Mats Hellström and Rachel Goldthorpe decided to create a Twitter channel gadget for EPiServer. </p> <p>The project consist of two parts:</p> <ol> <li>A scheduled job that imports tweets with a specific keyword into a dynamic data store </li> <li>A gadget that shows the imported tweets and lets the editors comment specific tweets (for other editors to read) as well as search among tweets and their comments </li> </ol> <p>What is this good for? Well, you get to comment what’s being said about for example your brand on Twitter but you only need to share the comments with your loved ones. </p> <p>Instead of 2000 more words, here are two screenshots:</p> <p><a href="/link/1b16b382ed4c4b3caea26fea1cdbc759.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Twitter channel in action - search" border="0" alt="Twitter channel in action - search" src="/link/d9bc41a8303b4addb0c24b3c38dad0cd.png" width="487" height="322" /></a>&#160;</p> <p><a href="/link/838a589ee5b04399b6b31c20966419aa.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Twitter channel in action - search and comment" border="0" alt="Twitter channel in action - search and comment" src="/link/6f656a97377246fe8ff957037ad7d0bd.png" width="488" height="335" /></a> </p> <p>The search result listing is of course updated as you type (to stress test the dynamic data store) and after lots of usability studies we decided that comments should be added by clicking the profile image. When finished typing, hit tab to save the comment.</p> <p>Now we’re just pulling tweets from Twitter, but his could easily be extended to grab data from other services as well. Think big, think <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/">YQL</a>,</p> <h2>The tweet importer</h2> <p>The tweet importer uses the <a href="http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method%3A-search">Twitter search API</a> which return Json objects. These objects are serialized into C# objects using the DataContractJsonSerializer that are later pushed into the dynamic data store. Note that we’re using the DataMember attribute to tell which properties the Json serializer should consider, but the attribute EPiServerDataMember to tell which properties that should be saved into the dynamic data store. </p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid;

It’s <a href="http://www.asp.net/mvc/">Mvc</a> time, this beautiful little framework that EPiServer SiteCenter is built upon. </p> <p>Let’s start by looking at the different Views we’ve got:</p> <h3>Tweets</h3> <p>Takes a list of ChannelItems and renders the tweets and their comments (using the Comments View).</p> <h3>Comments</h3> <p>Takes a ChannelItem and renders its comments.</p> <h3>Index</h3> <p>Takes a list of ChannelItems. Renders a search box and then passes the ChannelItems to the Tweets View.</p> <p>With these Views we just need something that receives requests from the gadget, modifies and/or collects some data in the dynamic data store and then passes it to the right view. We’re talking about at the heart in out twitter gadget, the Controller. These are the main Actions in our Controller:</p> <h3>Index </h3> <p>Responsible for fetching all channel items and passing them to the Index View.</p> <h3>AddComment </h3> <p>Responsible for adding an incoming comment to a tweet and passing the resulting ChannelItem to the Comment View.</p> <div style="border-bottom: silver 1px solid;
