If arc_twitter is set to publish automatically will it publish if an article is first saved in draft mode? And then publish when the article is made live?
Currently no. When you’re ready to update your Twitter account you need to make sure that “Update Twitter” is set to yes and then save your article in a published state.
I’ve added it as a “feature request” to the plugin’s issue tracker on Github. There is a fair amount of code changes required to make this happen so no guarantees when this feature will get added.

Re: TXP Tweet: arc_twitter and arc_twitter_intents
OK, so I can work on an article draft, and if “Update Twitter” has been set to “Yes” all along, then it will publish to twitter only when the article goes live.
Is that correct?

No. Sorry, but when you are ready to post to Twitter you have to select “Yes” update Twitter. After the first save of the article, if Twitter is not updated the radio buttons switch to “no”. As I said in the last post, this may change in a future release but will require a bit of work to get it to do this.

Re: TXP Tweet: arc_twitter and arc_twitter_intents
vurt – are you wanting to make sure it will not inadvertently publish a draft article if it is set to yes?

Yes exactly. Will it?

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?

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.

Re: TXP Tweet: arc_twitter and arc_twitter_intents
Thanks for the clarification.
Indeed a great plugin. I especially like that it displays the tweet in the write panel.

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.

Re: TXP Tweet: arc_twitter and arc_twitter_intents
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.

Re: TXP Tweet: arc_twitter and arc_twitter_intents
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
TextpatternCan anyone help me out? Thanks.
