Linking URLs in tweets passed through Feedzirra

I'm working on a rails website that's using Feedzirra to bring in a rotating twitter feed. The tweets, however, aren't bringing clickable URLs - just an unlinked string.

Is there a "rails way" to link the URLs as they come through Feedzirra, before they are displayed? Or do I need to use something post-parse (like jQuery) to take care of it?

Solution

  • When you loop through the results you could try using this gem: https://github.com/tenderlove/rails_autolink
