Hey

Are there any options added to either shortcode?
Also, what is the Twitter name/search used on each one?

Finally, I’ve had a very brief look at the HTML rendered on the page and it appears that the one bugging out may be pulling one less tweet than the one that’s working. Could this be interfering with script that generates the switching effects?

Thanks

Hey,

The following get you the result you want:

[db_twitter_feed count="10"]

Of course it can be any number you want but bear in mind that upwards of 30 may begin to affect page load time.

The settings in the Settings > Twitter are best used as defaults for your site, while using the code such as the example above can be used in cases where the defaults don’t quite fit.
So in your case you might set 10 in the settings page but use the code to set the count to 2 on the homepage because of space limitations.

Let me know if it works.

Hey,

I really appreciate you taking the time out to give feedback. All Useful stuff.

You make a fair point about error messages not being contained in an element. Noted for the next release. But what part of it should be optional: the containing element or the display/wording of an error message?

Though credentials are masked the plugin knows the actual details so it isn’t necessary to input them anew on each save. If this isn’t the case for you then let me know as it would be a bug.

Caches are saved under the username of the feed rendered, and hitting “Save Changes” clears the cache for whatever username is currently set in the username field. I’ll likely add a terse note on the settings page to make that clear.
However, you have alerted me to an oversight: the feed needs to also accommodate caching based on search as well as username.

Again, really appreciate your feedback,
Eji

Okay. I’m going to try and see if I can simulate the bug and come up with a fix.

Does it wipe all the fields or just the username field?

Also, which version of the plugin and which version of WordPress are you using?

Hey Anthony,

If you’ve entered your Twitter handle (username) in the plugin’s admin page then it will pull the tweets that you post. Retweets show the account that originally posted the tweet so if you retweet a lot of posts your feed will show a mix of accounts rather than yours only.

Let me know if this makes sense.

Thanks

Hey,

It isn’t possible at the moment. But I will begin working on internationalising the plugin over the next week or two, and then release it in an update.

Thanks

venethia,

I’ve made a few changes to the code and rolled out an update. It should resolve the issue you’re having with saves troubling your already-set authentication data.

Note that you may need to save your authentication data once more after the update.

Sorry Leechelle. If I’d seen it I would have responded but it doesn’t seem to exist.

Try posting a new thread and I’ll respond as soon as I can.

Hey,

I’ve dropped an answer in the other thread.

I think I’ve got it.

According to the Twitter API documentation, using the API for a search restricts your search to tweets posted up to a week ago.

The reason you’re getting the error is because the plugin’s code didn’t accommodate for such an occurrence. I’ve now updated the code to reflect this and an update should be rolling our shortly.

Regretfully, I can’t do any more than shed light on the restriction: it’s beyond my authority.

Hey,

They are the symptoms of an incorrect OAuth Token. Try copying your configuration codes (all four of them) over from Twitter again and see if that fixes the issue.

If that doesn’t work you can let me know the version of the plugin you’re using along with the Twitter Username you wish to get a timeline for and I can do some testing and see if I can’t find the root of the problem.

Thanks

Pretty bizarre.

I’ve tried it myself and it doesn’t seem to want to work with that particular search term. I’m going to look into this, see if I can at least find any others that act this way and figure out a pattern.

Once I’ve done that I should be able to implement and roll out a fix sharpish.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep you posted.

Thread marked as resolved as there’s been no response for some weeks.

Hey,

Based on the location you’ve noted, the following should work:

define( ‘DBTF_PATH’, TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/inc/devbuddy-twitter-feed/’ );
define( ‘DBTF_URL’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/inc/devbuddy-twitter-feed/’ );

TEMPLATEPATH gets the path to the theme currently active in your WP installation, while get_template_directory_uri() gets the URL. The constant and function, respectively, are both native to WordPress.

And for completeness, your functions.php file should include the main plugin file, not merely the directory that holds it:

include TEMPLATEPATH.'/inc/devbuddy-twitter-feed/devbuddy-twitter-feed.php';

Let me know if this works out for you.

Thanks
