Hi Yasp0,

As it’s been a little while since I’ve looked at this part of the code I’ve just had a quick look through the API to see what User data (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/platform-objects/users) it responds with when ThinkTwit makes a GET search/tweets request (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/search/tweets) and it looks like I’m using the only option available – I’ve then done a check to see if ThinkTwit processes this image in anyway.

Unfortunately, the answer is that ThinkTwit is not manipulating the image at all – it simply takes what it gets from Twitter, caches it and then displays it – so the size of the avatar that you are seeing is the maximum size available.

If you know of any way around this I’d be happy to look at any suggestions you have.

Hello,

No problem.

Hello,

I was alerted to this issue as it appears that August Infotech have borrowed some code from the Twitter plugin that I wrote and maintain. I have resolved the issue in my own code (ThinkTwit v1.5.1 – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/thinktwit/) and I believe you can resolve this in the plugin by replacing line 545 with the following:

$ai_follow_html.=”<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:’https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+’://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js’;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, ‘script’, ‘twitter-wjs’);</script>”;

To August Infotech: I am flattered that you would borrow some code that I have written. I would appreciate it if you would reference in your code and on your website anything that you borrow – I do this for free, after all, so recognition is very much appreciated.

Hi Markus,

So I’ve looked in to the issue on the other site and it didn’t seem to be down to any issues with the code – sometimes there are conflicts within the saved settings and in this case that was the problem so I re-installed the plugin. Please do try the same, remembering to save a copy of your settings in between, and let me know if this resolves the issues.

I am planning in future releases to automatically upgrade settings when upgrading but this is still some time off.

Hi Markus,

You’re right that the name has to be unique and I have updated this in the new version which is yet to be released – this shouldn’t, however, cause an issue.

I will look in to the issue and let you know as soon as I have found out what the problem is, I have experienced this on another site as well. If you’re willing to help me debug then please message me on twitter @stephenpickett.

Hi,

Sorry for such a late reply, I had not seen your message till now. I’m not sure if there’s a way to get an alert for posts on this but have just tried a link which I hope will do it.

I’ve had a look at the issue and can see it’s still there so have just issued an update which resolves it. Thanks for pointing this out!

This issue was fixed in the latest update – 1.3.6.

FYI I have just released an update that should resolve this issue. I wasn’t able to fix the code so have temporarily removed it and won’t reintroduce without testing from a user that has previously experience the issue.

If you are still up for helping I’d really appreciate it!

Hi Frances,

I’ve contacted someone else who has tested changes for me in the past and I’m hoping he can help more quickly than that, but if not I will let you know – please could you E-mail me your address so that I can contact you if I need to?

Thanks.

Steve

Hi Frances,

I’m really sorry for this, I’m not entirely sure how or why this is happening but have worked on a fix which I believe should resolve this. I test as much as I can on my own development site, on which this error didn’t occur, but that’s not enough testing to catch all bugs. A couple of other people have also confirmed this bug.

Would you be willing to test my fix? You can either contact me through my blog (https://www.thepicketts.org) or E-mail me at meethoss at gmail dot com.

Thanks.

FYI I have coded a fix over the weekend which will fix issues related to avatars not showing due to too many API requests. This will be rolled out shortly.

I actually just noticed that you used “max–days” instead of “max_days” – this seemed to resolve the issue in my test so you may want to try fixing that, otherwise please refer back to my previous message.

If you have any other issues in the meantime let me know and I’ll do what I can.

Hi Aaron,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, had a major network upgrade in work over the weekend and still fighting fires.

I believe the issue might be down to the number of requests that are being made to Twitter. I’ve got planned caching for the tweeter and improved error handling which should resolve this issue but I’m afraid I can’t give you a deadline on resolution as I have so much on at the moment – but I believe you are using a different plugin for the time being anyway.

I’ll let you know when the fix is out in case you wish to use ThinkTwit again.

Hi Fronbow,

I wasn’t aware of use of the @ symbol to suppress errors – thanks for that! And glad you were able to solve the issue for yourself easily enough.

Excessive requests are a constant problem so I will be fixing it when I have time, until then hope this will do for you ??
