Loking for someone to do a tricky little twitter thing.

HI, I'm looking for someone who can give me the code I need to send to a browser so someone who is already logged into twitter will follow someone

in other words, something like this:

http://www.twitter.com/followID=4355435 (where 4355435 is the user to be followed)

I realize that it may not be as simple as this (as it looks like the submit buttons use flash), but I"m fairly certain it can be done.

Basically, it would be the same as someone clicking the follow button.

The API won't work, as it relies on sending user names & passwords... we don't need that as the user is already logged on.

it would be like a "follow me on twitter" button that does not load up twitter.com & does it without the person leaving the site.

let me know how much you would charge for this.

 

This thread might give you some help

It is possible, here's what I posted over there....

"you can do it with css layers & clickjacking. They did some javascript to make it not work with an iframe, but you can still do it with css layers... just do a search for that.

See, I myself want to put a button on my website that says "follow me on twitter" that actually FOLLOWS me rather than go to twitter.com & asking them to click.

I'll pitch in on some money as well if someone can do this..."

 

Any example of the implementation done somewhere ?

 

If I had an example, i wouldn't need the help

seriously though, I don't know. The best example is on the twitter site itself. click a button, follow someone. I want to put a button like that on my site (that doesn't just link to my twitter page)

 

Twitter authenticated data is in sessions that's why it can follow the user.

If you are saying you know that it's possible, You must be having some technical basis on which you aresaying this statement , Either some implementation or some method.

IMO it's not possible, The only way of getting stuff automated is either a user entering his/her username and password or oauth implementation

 

I already gave one example of how to do it. (which is fairly well documented)

You don't need the user/password if they are already logged in to twitter, their sessions are persistent.
