[plugin] [ORPHAN] kml_twitter: Kimili Twitter Timeline

@mrtunes – In the new version (1.3), I’ve added a show_replies attribute which, when set to false (or 0 or no) will hide replies you’ve made to other people.

@corkingdesign – It sounds like you’ve not got the plugin’s caching set up properly. There’s a few things to check:

The cache_life attribute is set to something higher than 0. (default is 600)
You’ve created a /textpattern/cache/ directory
The /textpattern/cache/ directory permissions should be set to 777 (World writable)

If any of those items are not as I describe, the plugin won’t create a cache file, but will hit Twitter for content on every page view. That’s probably why you’re going over the limit.

Hi kimili,

I to am having the same error display… I have all the settings you suggested / cache_life=“600”, cache directory in textpattern directory, and the cache folder chmod setting is 777. but i still keep getting this errow… Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.

I’ve also tried setting the cache_life between 1 and 800 and still get the error.

Any idea what it might be?

I am running into the Dec 31, 1969 issue. All of my tweets disappear, the timestamp becomes Dec 31, 1969 and just links to twitter.com/status. I am running version 1.3 of the plugin (since day one). I deleted the cache file, set CACHE_LIFE to “1” temporarily, made sure all DB tables were repaired, dumped everything browser-side (just in case), but nothing. I have not actually done anything to the site in the past few days, so I don’t think I broke anything.

Here is the source for the cache file:

O:8:"stdClass":1:{s:6:"errors";a:1:{i:0;O:8:"stdClass":2:{s:4:"code";i:32;s:7:"message";s:27:"Could not authenticate you.";}}}

So I am not sure what’s going on, but no other Twitter clients have any problem with my username.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here. Could it be a change in the way Twitter is handling authentication? I’ve used this plugin for at least a year and I’ve never seen this until today. I’m sure it was working yesterday.

kevinpotts · 2010-05-01 02:03:05

OK, so that error went away, and now I am getting this:

There was a problem retrieving data from Twitter.

johnstephens · 2010-05-01 02:05:39

I still have "Could not authenticate you."

Bugger – I’m getting Jan 1st, 1970

simoin · 2010-05-04 10:30:09

I’m getting the same as tye, Jan 1st, 1970

Hey everyone – it looks like Twitter is indeed changing its authentication scheme to use oAuth exclusively. This isn’t supposed to happen until June 30th, but it looks as if they’ve made changes already which break this plugin. At the moment, it isn’t working for anybody.

I’m looking into a fix and hope to publish it soon. I’ll post back here when I have the update ready.

kimili · 2010-05-05 16:06:27

Well, it turns out that the fix was simpler and faster to implement than I had thought. You can install Kimili Twitter Timeline v. 1.4 and it should fix the issue for you. There are no changes to the plugin other than how it accesses your Twitter data, so this version is a drop-in replacement for KTT 1.3.

Note that you may have to delete your cache file once or twice before it starts working again (or just wait for it to expire), but you should be in good shape after that.

Thanks. It’s working again!

simoin · 2010-05-05 22:08:46

Thanks kimili, everything back to normal now, much appreciated!

tye · 2010-05-05 22:21:06

Thanks kimili / Micheal

Very quick fix :) much appreciated, works great :)

nardo · 2010-09-15 00:41:51

kimili- great plugin, thank you

is there a way to filter tweets? so as to only display tweets that include a particular string (e.g. “#lg2010” or “^AB”) … ?

kimili · 2010-09-15 01:01:13

@nardo – no, there’s no way to do that built into the plugin right now. Out of curiosity, what tweets would you want to filter that way? Your timeline, the public timeline, or something else?
