vurt – are you wanting to make sure it will not inadvertently publish a draft article if it is set to yes?

vurt wrote:

Yes exactly. Will it?

It should not automatically publish to twitter unless the article is set to “live”, and it is the first time you have saved it as “live”. arc_twitter really is a well designed plugin. Another well thought out aspect of its design: it will automatically turn the auto-post to “off” after your tweet has been posted.

What monkeyninja was picking up on in your original post is that if you:

have arc_twitter set to “yes” for automatically posting,
save as a draft,
arc_twitter is now set to “off” even though you have not posted your tweet yet.

He’s going to try to fix it so it doesn’t turn itself “off” until you set your article to “live” and the tweet is posted.

Thanks for the clarification.

Indeed a great plugin. I especially like that it displays the tweet in the write panel.

Andy, I am getting a badly formed code error with the latest Beta v.2 version from your site – do you have a compressed copy?

Um, I think we’ve been here before haven’t we? Try this compressed version instead. If that fails you could always grab the source code from github and try compiling it yourself. Hope the file works first anyway.

@maverick and vurt: thanks for your comments about the plugin. It is good to know that people are enjoying it.

I have one site running on Expression Engine. I have a twitter plugin installed on it as well. It drives me nuts. It always is on – even after you have published and tweeted. So if you are saving a draft, or editing after the fact, and don’t want to tweet you have to remember to turn it off. Every. Single. Time.

It only makes my experience with arc_twitter all the more sweet.

Hey monkeyninja,

The only other issue that I’ve run across is that one of my clients wanted to be able to mark an article to publish in the future, and have it tweet at that future time.

Of course, that would be a feature request, not a complaint.

Hi,

I’ve been using your plug-in without any problem until recently. While building a website for a printer client we put our own Twitter feed in place until they had set-up one themselves but despite uninstalling the plug-in, reinstalling and adding in the new details I now can’t get the feed to display our client’s tweets – oddly, it continues to show our tweets even with the plug-in disabled. I then tried deleting the arc-twitter table and the contents of the tmp folder and reinstalled again but to no avail and now I’m also getting this error:

Warning: file_put_contents(/home/sites/iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/textpattern/home/sites/iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/textpattern/tmp/3d101f29ddf231f539d17fb0a03ffe0e) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(638) : eval()'d code on line 871

Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

There’s a fair bit of work to be done to get the plugin to a state where this can be done; I am planning to start implementing changes that will lead in this direction, but no promises on when it will get there. There are loads of things that I want to do, it is just a case of finding the time.

Have you made sure that you’ve re-connected to the new Twitter account and that the new one is showing on the Plugin’s options screen? The error message looks like your cache folder preference is wrong; again check on the options screen (unless you override this in the tag).

Hi Andy,

Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated.

The cache path was set to /home/sites/iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/textpattern/tmp but when I changed to http://iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/public_html/textpattern/tmp it pulled in a couple of tweets – although I’ve set the limit to 3. In fact it doesn’t look like it’s working quite right as there are more available.

It might be connected to the file_put_contents... warning that I’m still getting, any ideas on what’s causing that?

Looks like some of the tweets are retweets. Make sure that you have retweets=“true” in your tag to include them. Which version of the plugin are you using? Just want to check as there have been changes to some of this functionality over time.

I’ve just upgraded a site to Textpattern 4.4.0 and get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /domains/rrc.architxt.net/html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(653) : eval()’d code on line 842

The above errors were caused by the plugin: arc_twitter

Any ideas?

jstubbs · 2011-03-27 07:39:51

I had that the other day upgrading to 4.3.0 and just re-uploaded txplib_misc.php and the error went away. Worth a try.

lozmatic · 2011-03-27 08:00:36

Hi – I tried that, but it didn’t work.

I had the alpha version installed but are having the same issue with 2.0beta.

Hi Andy,

I’ve checked the retweet and now it’s set to ‘true’ (sorry about that) but it’s still not updating, the odd thing is if I deactivate the plug-in the two old tweets still display. The plug-in version I’m using is 2.0beta. The following is the error that appears on the ‘Twiiter’ tab:

Warning: file_put_contents(http://iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/public_html/textpattern/tmp/3d101f29ddf231f539d17fb0a03ffe0e) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/sites/iconprintsolutions.co.uk/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(638) : eval()'d code on line 871

Hi Andy,

Sorry to pester you but did you have any further thoughts on my arc_twitter woes? I’ve removed the beta version and installed the alpha version but still not getting any feeds coming in – there are two old ones sitting in the cache/tmp folder but nothing recent. Interestingly it does allow me to add a tweet via the extensions tab so it’s making a connection of sorts.

Any suggestions would be welcome as the client is keen to get their social media campaign up and running!

UPDATE: I’ve now re-typed my form (!) and it seems to be working but the limit attribute is causing problems. If it’s set at limit="3" it displays 2 tweets while limit="5" displays 3 tweets.
