On my site and the SE demo the twitter question appears not to be working.
Example
The Facebook question adds the URL https://www.facebook.com/ before username
If you add just your Facebook username it resolves.
YouTube and others are the same except Twitter
For Twitter nothing resolves to your username
Adding just your username results in this:
https://www.twitter.com/#!/username
Adding username and @ still won't resolve to your twitter profile.
Adding the full URL won't resolve either.
How can I remove the #! to make it work or perhaps I am missing something
It works for me https://demo.socialengine.com/profile/ChiefEvangelist using the Twitter url to my profile at Twitter.
I tested the ChiefEvangelist it does not resolve to your twitter URL.
To properly test you must be logged into another user's account
Although it displays the correct URL the link is not correct
See the URL link SE creates below why the #! (I think thats outdated)
https://www.twitter.com/#!/username
Ideally it should be like all other profile questions - you just add the username the website adds the correct URL in the link but only the username is displayed. I thought that is why they are built in social media site profile questions.
Example: YouTube
Enter just your YouTube username and the website automatically adds the link https://www.youtube.com/user/ before your username to allow for a nice display.
Example: Facebook
Enter just your Facebook username and the website automatically adds the link https://www.facebook.com/ before your username to allow for a nice display.
I think I just need to edit the file that has the bad URL with #!
On the hunt for it
I realize that but it works for me as a guest too even if not logged in. Are you saying it only doesn't work if you are logged into the site as someone else and that testing as a guest or as your own user works fine? Does it work for you here, https://community.socialengine.com/profile/ChiefEvangelist ?
Here's a video of it working for me from the demo as the url resolves at Twitter's end of things. https://demo.socialengine.com/videos/1/10/twitter
Good morning Donna
Nope not working for me on any browser and I checked multiple SE sites all resolve to twitter.com because of the #! in the URL.
In your video are you logged in? Did you clear cache?
Your URL link has the #! too
Why the #!
Another mystery to solve (I Don't think it could be a local issue do you )
Yes I am logged in here. I also tried as a guest and I get the same as shown in the video. I'll try your profile here if you filled in twitter.
BTW, yes I know about the url as that used to be how it was formatted but even with that url, it works for me. I will try logging in as another user.
I added my twitter
I got it backwards if you are logged in it won't resolve for me. Is that not the old sharing method #!
I tested on your profile here where you added twitter and I end up on your twitter page from this account. I figured to try as a normal user account. I can post a pic of your twitter page if you need me to but the redirect is working fine for me.
It also works when trying as admin, just to see. I can't try as guest here as all profiles are private from guest view.
OK thanks so much for your effort in my home network is protected by BitDefender that's my only guess so far as to why I cant get it to work yet.
Mine is too.
application/modules/Fields/View/Helper/FieldTwitter.php
lines 24 and 26
$regex = '/^((http(s|):\/\/|)(www\.|)|)twitter\.com\/(#!|)/i';
$username = preg_replace($regex, '', trim($value->value));
$twitterUrl = 'https://www.twitter.com/#!/' . $username;
Not sure what will happen if you change it but please let everyone know what you do if it works. Thx.
I guess it could also be my CloudFlare thanks for that file I will fiddle and let you know
I've heard of a lot of issues lately with google and also cloudflare. I even had trouble loading the SE sites due to "dns" issues. Noting that nothing had changed but in researching it appears many are having these issues. Most are pointing to issues with cloudflare and/or google services such as ads, analytics, etc.
