Apologies, this is a lesson to be more careful when you’ve only had two hours sleep! Please try installing 3.3.3, it should be OK for you I think.

The latest version in Github should fix the OAuthDataStore issues mentioned above: https://github.com/cftp/twitter-tracker/archive/master.zip

@rtainter – is there any more detail you can provide for the problem you saw with an empty search, please? Any steps to reliably replicate the problem would be appreciated!

Here’s another notice I, errr, noticed…

When I go to authenticate, I see the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: gauth in
/srv/www/wordpress-default/wp-content/plugins/google-analytics-dashboard/gad-admin-options.php
on line 279

This is caused by trying to pass $gauth into GADAdminOptionsUI::display_admin_handle_login_options, when that variable does not exist in that context.

Here’s a gist with some options for patching: https://gist.github.com/simonwheatley/5850989

Hope this helps.

I’ve added the _blank target. Also changed all remaining instances (in translation files, widget labels, etc) of search.twitter.com to twitter.com.

Pull requests submitted. ??

Hi JamesJC and Ditsch,

The hashtags should work in the latest version, just grab the new zip from Github, please: https://github.com/cftp/twitter-tracker/archive/master.zip

Cheers,

Simon

I’ve also got a patch to add the option to create leads from comments, if that’s of interest? We’ve got it running at a client site and it seems to work. Would you like it?

@square_eyes Are you double clicking the Authorise button, by any chance? I’m not sure my code deals with that very well. I’ll try to track down the issue, but might fix it in a later release to get this out if it works for you with a single click.

Update: Reinstated tt_avatar_url filter. Sadly tt_avatar_bigger_url has gone away forever. Re-download and test, please.

I’ll look into your issue now, @square_eyes.

Update: Just tweaked the caching, please re-download.

Anyone interested in helping with testing can download a BETA version of the plugin from here: https://github.com/cftp/twitter-tracker/archive/master.zip

Any issues, please reply here. This contains some major changes, Twitter’s change to their API necessitated completely ripping out half the code and rewriting, so there may be some things you were using which I haven’t noticed are broken in this beta.

Thanks for your patience with this, and thanks in advance for any testing you are able to do.

If you’re not comfortable testing a beta plugin, I suggest you hang on and I’ll have a release ready as soon as I can.

Hi All.

Sorry about the problems.

I’m working on the new version today, which will hopefully fix this for you all. Unfortunately I didn’t get to it before my son arrived last month, and then everything got paused for a while. So far the changes are looking OK, but I would definitely appreciate some beta testing from anyone in this thread who can help. I’ll drop a link to the beta when I’ve got it.

Warning: Because of the new restrictions from Twitter, I’m going to need you all to log in. I’m sorry, but that’s the only way this is going to work officially with the folks at Twitter.

Cheers,

Simon

It sounds like it, yes. Emails can take a surprisingly long time to send. You could try changing the SMTP server your WordPress install uses, with something like this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/configure-smtp/

Hi there,

You are trying to use the_title to return the string value for the post title, You need get_the_title instead.

However, you have some fundamental issues with the efficiency and structure of your approach to the problem. I suggest:

You should use a “Restaurant” Custom Post Type for your restaurants. This will keep the descriptions separated from the news information. Currently you are in danger of having the restaurant description returned as part of the news, meaning the same information would be shown twice. You can google any number of different tutorials on adding a custom post type to your site.

Assuming the news is in the same site as the descriptions, the approach of fetching the feed for the search for the restaurant is not necessary and inefficient. Instead you should use a WP_Query (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query – looking at “Usage” and “Search Parameter”). Alternatively, you might use a new “Restaurant” Taxonomy to indicate which restaurant Wah piece if news relates to (you could then use the taxonomy parameters in WP_Query to return just news relating to that restaurant). You might also use our Sync Post Types to Taxonomies plugin (https://github.com/cftp/sync-post-types-to-taxonomies) to ensure that for each restaurant post in your custom post type, there was an auto-created term in the restaurant taxonomy to tag news posts with.

I hope this helps.

Simon
