TweetDeck extension for Chrome doesn’t show the client or source
application for each tweet.
Here’s a little dirty hack to add this feature on TweetDeck
for Chrome.
Go to Chrome/Chromium User Data Directory
Refer here to find your Data Directory:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/user_data_dir.md
e.g. mine is ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
Change directory to Extensions/[tweetdeck-extension-id]/
[tweetdeck-extension-id]
can be known from Chrome/Chromium
-> Tools -> Extensions -> TweetDeck ->
ID
Change directory to the only folder inside the current folder which is
named after the current version of the extension, 0.9.7.12_0
at the time this is being written.
We are editing the files- default.js inside scripts folder and status_twitter.ejs file inside EJSTemplates/status/ folder. Open them on your favorite text editor.
In the default.js file:
Find:
this.isFavorite=a.favorited;
Add after it:
this.source=a.source;
In the same file,
Find:
return a.decklyID?a.decklyURL:"http://twitter.com/"+a.user.screenName+"/status/"+a.id};
Add after it:TD.services.TwitterStatus.prototype.getChirpSource=function(){
var p=this.getMainTweet().source.replace('nofollow','url').split('>');
if (p.length==1) return p;
var c=p[1].split('<')[0];
return p[0]+'title="'+c+'">'+c.split(' ')[0]+'</a>';
};
Save and close default.js In the status_twitter.ejs file:
Find:
</time> </a>
Add after it:
via <%= tweet.getChirpSource() %>
Save and close status_twitter.ejs
Open or refresh TweetDeck on Chrome. The hack should be now visible.
Thank you.
