The plan is to make it so sections can be excluded and so that it will no longer post messages that are set to be viewable at a future date.

Re: mem_twitter
Version 0.3 is posted.
- Sections can be excluded with a new pref
- Future dated posts will not ping twitter

I’m with woof…I cant seem to get this to work, – I’ve installed it (and activated it!) and checked all the following:
- php Version 5+
- status=live
- curl enabled
- allow_url_fopen=On
- twitter username and password entered correctly in adv prefs
i’ve tried it on txp 4.06 and 4.08 installs and on two servers (php versions 5.14 and 5.16)
I create and publish a post but nothing happens twitterside – I’m stumped. I’d be grateful for any suggestions to further troubleshoot this. TIA
- Txp 4.07
- PHP Version 5.2.8
- cURL support enabled (libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5)
- allow_url_fopen On
- twitter prefs correctly set
…but my articles aren’t showing up in Twitter. Can anyone suggest a way to diagnose it?
thanks

Re: mem_twitter
I’ve set this up on my partner’s blog – and it works up to a point. It’ll post the prefix comment, the article title, but not the URL. Now, the URL on the most recent post that worked was fairly long — I was assuming the plugin would interact with something like TinyURL to truncate it. Is that not the case? Is it throwing away the URL part entirely, or is something else wrong?
The site’s on TXP 4.0.6 on a Joyent Shared Accelerator with cURL enabled.

Re: mem_twitter
Ah, I’ve just seen something relevant in the first post. The “allow_url_fopen On” information probably ought to be in the plugin help text.

Re: mem_twitter
Is there any way that I could include a section title tag, like this: {section_title} as well as the {title} and {url} tags?

Re: mem_twitter
Michael – great work, but is there any way to have it ping twitter for future dated articles at the future date? I do a lot of writing for blogs on one or two days a week, I future date a lot of these and would like them to tweet when they are released.
Thanks!

I had not planned of implementing this functionality due to the need of an external polling script. You could write all of your entries as drafts and then publish on the day when it is needed. I realize this removes one of the main benefits of future dating articles.

Re: mem_twitter
I am very interested and would be willing to fund this extra functionality, let me know if you are interested and what it would cost.

Re: mem_twitter
For those having problems connecting suggest you ensure your allow_url_fopen=On, curl is enabled and your username is correct. This is what I got wrong, I entered the real name instead of the username in the advanced prefs mem_twitter_user field.
Nice plugin – thanks Manfre!
