Virgin Money Giving widgets (unofficial)

You can view you automatically generated widget like this:

<img src=”http://api.jo.je/virginmoneygiving/view/59024“>

And replace paras10 with your virgin money giving page id

For events without targets, they will look like this:

<img border=0 src=”http://api.jo.je/virginmoneygiving/view/22895″></a>

Virgin Money Giving (unofficial)

For any developers out there who want a quick way to get data about an event, more than provided by the RSS data, here’s a JSON feed you can use (replace ’59024′ as needed):

http://api.jo.je/virginmoneygiving/data/59024

Which provides the following, in JSON format:

{
“title”:”AliceJohnson&pageUrl=2″,
“image”:”http:\/\/uk.virginmoneygiving.com\/\/fundraiser-web\/donate\/downloadImage.action?fileName=\/167x18792353cbc-6d25-4654-babe-45ba9bf69d9b.bmp”,
“person”:”Alice Johnson”,
“donations”:[
{
"person":"Rob",
"amount":"10.00",
"gift_aid":0,
"date":"01.12.10",
"message":"I donate at least three pints of Guinness.."
}
],
“charity”:”Link Community Development”,
“is_live”:true,
“money_target”:”350.00″,
“money_total”:”268.00″,
“money_gift_aid”:62.89,
“money_offline”:”0.00″,
“money_online”:268,
“event_id”:”59024″,
“has_target”:true,
“percentage_complete”:76,
“is_valid”:true,
“pub_date”:”2011-03-12 00:00:00″,
“extra_title”:”Alice Johnson’s fundraising page”
}

This can be decided in PHP5+ using json_decode()

PHP Twitter oAuth

Old content below:

I say class, it’s actually just 1 function for PHP 4+ to allow sending of twitter messages really simply.

Based upon the PHP 5 twitter class by David Grudl

function twitter_send($message, $user, $pass)
	{
		$url = 'https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml';
		$post = array('status' => $message);
		$curl = curl_init();
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.":".$pass);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
 
		if ($post) {
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
			curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
		}
		curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); // no echo, just return result
		$result = curl_exec($curl);
		$ok = curl_errno($curl) === 0 && curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) === 200;
		return $result;
	}

That’s it, and then just a call function to send a message:

twitter_send("Hello World!", "myusername","passwordhere");

Simple!

The function also returns XML from twitter, including data such as followers_count, current description, location, profile_image_url etc, if needed.
