[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet button and iphone
Please, let me summarize. On Android, working with intents and after sharing successfully, the window closes automatically so it returns to the previous page. The window that automatically closes should have set up a timeout because it takes some seconds to be closed. If for example client browser doesn't support Javascript, there is a cancel button that also works perfectly. On iPhone, is different than in Android, because after sharing successfully, you don't have possibility to close and return back. I guess Twitter detects the user agent and show different pages in Android and iPhone, isn't it? Does anybody know if it is something that is going to be fixed? Thanks!

I guess Twitter detects the user agent and show different pages in Android and iPhone, isn't it? iPhone and Android both have the same Web Intents UI (as do all devices, actually.) The behaviour you describe for Android, where the Intent page automatically closes and the browser takes you back to the original page is the correct behaviour. You should get the same experience on Android and iPhone. The behaviour you're seeing on iPhone there is odd, but could occur (on any device) if the Tweet Intent is invoked in a different way (either without JavaScript, or without a window.opener being set.) Can you link to the specific case where the iPhone UI isn't behaving as expected? I'll take a look to debug it.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet button and iphone
Can you link to the specific case where the iPhone UI isn't behaving as expected? What about the oauth page? first make sure you're already logged in your twitter account,copy the following link then paste it in a new window/tab,use any browser you want;Firefox,Chrome or safari https://oauth.twitter.com/2/authorize?oauth_callback_url=http://mobijoke.internet.com.jo%2Flogin.htmloauth_mode=flow_web_clientoauth_client_identifier=HUuFkcSyjWptABGMxytpwwredirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmobijoke.internet.com.jo%2Flogin.htmlresponse_type=token_=1311159077071client_id=HUuFkcSyjWptABGMxytpww You will notice that cancel button doesn't work at all,you can click as much as you want on it but no effect,as if the button click event isn't handled at all,this is the issue,It should return the user back to the url provided in the querystring oauth_callback_url in case the user clicked on cancel button. Note: In case you wondered what is that link,it's the url of the popup that appears by clicking on connect with twitter button,you can find what I'm talking about here in my website here: http://mobijoke.internet.com.jo/login2.html Please I want a solution for this or any alternatives,I've been stuck with this issue for more than a week and no response from twitter on it at all. -- Have you visited the Developer Discussions feature on https://dev.twitter.com/discussions yet?

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet button and iphone
Ah, you've found a bug. Thanks! I'll fix that. The cancel button there should behave the same way as cancel buttons elsewhere (e.g. in the after-Tweet screen) and redirect to the original referrer. If you fix this issue then all my issues with tweet button will be solved and I will be able to keep it in all of our projects,please tell me when you can fix it? it's very urgent!! Our management want a decision if we can add tweet button in all of our projects without any issues with the web container. Unfortunatly `window.opener` isn't available in our web container,instead it will open in the same window of the original page,and what's worse is that it's a native web container programmed in XCODE and it's built as a generic web container to work with any website,so it's impossible to make any changes on the web container,I need to fix the issue either from my side on my pages or your side by fixing the issue of the cancel button,as I can see it's easier to be fixed from your side. I will be waiting for your response ^^ ,thanks again Seth On Jul 8, 1:17 am, Ben Ward benw...@twitter.com wrote: Hi Anajjar, On Jul 7, 2011, at 6:28 AM, anaj...@ibs.com.jo wrote: the login page will appear and you can see the cancel button,click on cancel button,now it should return the user back to that link and as you can see the link has a querystring original_referer with the original url so the cancel button SHOULD return back to that url,but you will notice that it doesn't return the user back to that page and instead it redirects to twitter homepage Ah, you've found a bug.

[twitter-dev] Re: Tweet button and iphone
Thanks for your reply Seth Is it possible that your implementation doesn't support a popup from Twitter? I'm not sure,but since the popup do appear without any issues so I think our implementation support popups without any issues,but the cancel button within twitter sharebox doesn't work as it should be,it doesn't return the user back to my page and instead it redirects the user to twitter page,the problem is in the behavior of cancel button and I don't know why it behaves like that. I can reproduce the issue in kinda the same way but here on my PC,here are the steps: Let's open a page that has a tweet button,maybe like this one: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button?utm_source=twitterfeedutm_medium=twitter good,now scroll down to section Positioning the count box do you see the first tweet button on the left,the one that has a word none on top of it? right-click on that button then choose Copy Link Address [Note: I use Google Chrome],I did that already and here the url: https://twitter.com/share?original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.twitter.com%2Fpages%2Ftweet_button%3Futm_source%3Dtwitterfeed%26utm_medium%3Dtwittersource=tweetbuttontext=Tweet%20Button%20%7C%20dev.twitter.comurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.twitter.com%2Fpages%2Ftweet_button%3Futm_source%3Dtwitterfeed%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter now paste the url in a new window/tab in your browser but first make sure you're not already logged in twitter account,the login page will appear and you can see the cancel button,click on cancel button,now it should return the user back to that link and as you can see the link has a querystring original_referer with the original url so the cancel button SHOULD return back to that url,but you will notice that it doesn't return the user back to that page and instead it redirects to twitter homepage,that's exactly how the web container behave and this is the issue with the cancel button,I hope I cleared my issue and my steps are straightforward, I hope you have a solution for this.
