Issues with Twitter Timeline

[Mangek]

Hey guys n girls

I recently updated to the latest version of Twitter Timeline and all seemed to work nicely. But now I've discovered that the number of entries displayed sometimes varies from what I've set it to. I originally had it set to 5 but 3 or 4 entries were being displayed. When I changed it to 6, 4 or 5 entries would be displayed and so on. Changing it to 0 doesn't seem to have an effect. (Or rather, it's as random as any other number).

When I configure and save the plugin I get this error:

Code: Select all

Warning: unlink(/home/althalus/dirgefornovember/s9y/templates_c/twitterresult.7905d1c4e12c54933a44d19fcd5f9356bcb984662e4b214f8be08c23ed3241be.json) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/.kiwi/althalus/dirgefornovember/s9y/plugins/serendipity_plugin_twitter/serendipity_plugin_twitter.php on line 175

When I look in templates_c I can't find a file called twitterresult.anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even removing and both uploading via spartacus and ftp-ing the files, but nothing seems to help.

Any ideas what may be wrong? The plugin or my server? Thanks!

Hi!

The error message is unproblematic; it only tries to remove a possible cache file, which in your case does not exist because it hasn't yet been created.

So basically it should work; can you show a screenshot of the full configuration? The plugin does apply some filtering of tweets (like @ replies) if you´'ve configured it do to so. That might remove some tweets, and would be alright due to that...

Hello Garvin, thanks for your reply!

Here's a screenshot of my configuration. It should be the default settings, apart from showing 5 entries instead of 10 (although only 2 is currently displaying).

Edit: Guess I can't link an image directly? Here's a clean url:

Edit2: And that link works? Wth?

Edit3: And I guess I should add that I've tried playing around with the settings, setting everything to Yes and changing the output to PHP back and forth without any changes.

Hi!

With those settings posted it should work. Whats your blog URL where the plugin should showup?

Garvin,

Here's the url. Thanks!

Hi!

Actually, Twitter seems to be misbehaving!

The Javascript of twitter only lists fewer items, if you view the sourcecode:

Code: Select all

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/mangek009.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=5

you'll see there are really no more items returned. This might be one of the reocurring twitter glitches and might repair itself soon, or you would need to contact twitter support. But it's sadly nothing that can be fixed on the s9y end of things.

BTW: Your blog is quite interesting, seems you also share gaming interests like me. We should meetup for a 360 magic game sometime (even though I'm not that good in this game *g*)

Garvin

Hm maybe it's related to how Twitter handles retweets? The "new" way doesn't seem to add RT in front of the messages, but rather "post" the message. Perhaps that's in some way making the script believe it should exclude those entries.

I'm not very good at Magic either, my brother has done most of the playing on the 360. I've never tried it online, that could be fun.
