Twitter feed stuck
Anyone any idea why our dev twitter feed seems to be stuck on r3424 on Oct 15th? All this social stuff is beyond me.

Re: Twitter feed stuck
Most likely you are using an older plugin that does not authenticate properly with Twitter after the recent change in the authentication process. The latest arc_twitter is ok, I seem to recall that mem_twitter needs updating.

We aren’t using a plugin but I don’t know if the js has been updated at all. Just checking around I can’t see anything obvious. We may have to go down the plugin route cuz of this logging in farce.

And it looks like we don’t have “curl” so that’s buggered the plugin route. :(

Ah, the old “deprecate and remove the API” trick. That might explain it, though the dates don’t stack up. Hmmm.
Can I leave it with you please, Stuart to figure out the most hassle-free method going forward? If there is such a thing… :-|
(I concur that not having curl (or gzip) installed on the .com/.org sites is somewhat annoying… especially when installing big plugins. Must be a reason for that, but I dunno what it is)

Re: Twitter feed stuck
Well whatever the reason for it, it means we can’t use the plugin on either site which would be the simplest route to go down and I’m not seeing anything useful from Twitter at the moment. I shall keep hunting.

Well actually, now I’ve looked into it a bit more, it would seem that r3424 was the last tweet so the displays on textpattern.com and textgarden are as up-to-date as they can be. I’m not sure how we do tweets. They come in from more than one place, like textpattern, textgarden, svn and I think resources (may be others). I thought Robert controlled that bit. Maybe something else needs updating?

I hardly control myself. @textpattern is an anonymous friend. Really.

Re: Twitter feed stuck
Isn’t TXP.com on Joyent? If so, you can setup curl without any problem by going to the Webmin and editing the php.ini file directly.

Re: Twitter feed stuck
You make that sound very tempting Jonathan but it doesn’t appear to be the site code pulling the tweets that is the problem. It’s the Twitter account itself which isn’t being updated. I don’t control it, Stef doesn’t and apparently neither does Robert so who is our anonymous friend?

Re: Twitter feed stuck
Indeed. After waiting for over a month with no obvious signs of management there, wouldn’t it be better to place a notice on the forum (somewhere visible) and after a couple of weeks of further silence, make a new account and get it going? I mean, the name is nice but when I read it, I can’t care less if the account is called textpattern or textpattern_network, for instance.
