    Hide @replies from GetUserTweets

    Hi there,

    I'm using GetUserTweets to display the latest tweet from a specific user on our website - but it's also including @replies. Does anyone know how to get the first tweet that *isn't* an @reply?

    Thanks!

    Andrew

    I don't suppose you found what you were looking for with this did you? Save me delving into the same issue if someone else has already solved it..

    Hi Mark,

    I didn't I'm afraid - I ran out of time to investigate further - so if you find a solution do let me know :-)

    Hi Mark and Andrew,

    Perhaps, this blogpost can help you on how to hide @replies from GetUserTweets

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks Dennis - I'm afraid that's only useful if you're using Twitter's own widget. uTweet has server-side code to fetch the latest tweets and render them in page (and customize the presentation). 

    At some point I'll get around to figuring out how to hide the replies - next project :-)

    Well, in then end I cheated and used TweetShrap directly as that's what uTweet is built on. There's an option in it for hide replies and it only took a few mins to change my code..
