And also, the 'Advanced' tab is still showing absolutely NO options whatsoever - the whole 'Advanced' tab is just a black box - there are no white boxes to enter ANY settings...?! Is the app corrupt or something?!

......anyone know how I can contact the developer of this app cos this still isn't working for me? I'm still just getting no activity from the plug in whenever I try to sign in + the advanced tab is still completely blank..??!

Looking at the package page, it would appear that it's maintained by rabbitrun84 - you should be able to send him a message/email from there.

.....I've hit a brick wall with this one it seems! No joy from the developer - he hasn't replied!!!

Can anyone shed any light on this why the plug in doesn't seem to be working...?! Is it working for you or is it just me...?!

It is working for me. However, I also had the problem that it wouldn't sign in in the beginning. I then tried again after some weeks and suddenly it worked. I'm not sure what changed during those weeks - maybe I had installed the PR1.1.1 update in that period but I really don't remember. So I can't really help :/

And yes, the author is very invisible here and doesn't seem to spend too much time here helping with the issues.

I had left the timeline contact open overnight & there were over 300 new messages, but I could see that they were the same block of old ones, retrieved over and over again. So it doesn't make a difference if I clear the current messages or not.

That's too bad. I'd like to see if if it's just something wrong I'm doing with my issue too. I like the idea of this plugin, but with the messages building up like they are for me, it makes it kinda unusable.

I've finally got the plug in to work - however, I don't seem to be able to view my timeline from it?! Is this purely JUST when people @reply or @mention you or is possible to view tweets from people I am following as well?!

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
This app would be great if it were reliable.

I can sign in fine. But it hardly ever seems to receive my tweets. I can send them fine. I checked through the settings and it constantly "forgets" them and I have to re-enter all the advanced settings.

.....finally figured out how to view my timeline! Once the plug in logs you in as 'online', if I go to my 'contacts', I seem to have an extra one called 'timeline' (or something similar) - tapping on that seems to load it up!

the people I am following, however, don't seem to have their pics displayed...?! Think I'll be sticking to Mauku for twittter for now - too many bugs in this plug in...!!

Take in account that this plugin is out of date in every single way.

The underlying libraries that this plugin depends on are far updated in trunk.

We only need a new developer and mantainer :P

This is how I WANT it to work. I don't want to see my timeline and I don't want it to download my entire friendlist to contacts. I just want it to download the contact who @mentions me if they're not in my list. If they are already there then great.

The dev has clearly jumped ship on this one, hope someone else can pick up the baton or even start from scratch. Would really like for this to work!

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
Since a couple days I'm unable to add a new Twitter account on my N900 (pr1.2). I can fill the data but once I click on "sign in" nothing happens and after a few seconds the box closes. Then the account is marked as "not signed in". Any clue?

EDIT: everything is working fine now, right after Twitter itself announced it was experiencing some stability issues. Perhaps that wasn't plugin fault then.

Phew! Quite a comprehensive introduction first post! Big thanks for that.

I am working on this, fellas.

The new prpltwtr plugin compiles and runs perfectly fine on the N900. I'll build some patches against the UI to fix the issue with the settings window, and push a new package in a few weeks.

Tomorrow, I'll make a blog post with instructions on preliminary usage and provide the "alpha" built plugin if you want to try it.

Will it show your general timeline or just mentions and dms?

I'm having a bit of an issue now.

I've reinstalled after flashing my phone. I've re-installed the application.

Now it connects for about 5 seconds, then disconnects with a network error, reconnects, disconnects etc.

Tried reinstalling, changing settings, nothing has improved it.

Is this a general thing? or just me?

... i'm having the same problem for the last month ... suggestiona anyone ???

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
I think this issue is because of twitter having imposed the use of OAuth for sign in. The issue could be fixed if this plug in is rewritten to use OAuth. Unfortunately I am not too much of a C/C++ programmer (Assuming this plug in is written in C/C++) else i would have done it myself!
P.S.: Just in case you are wondering, I am a COBOL programmer!

MSameer 2010-10-28 16:28

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
The plugin needs to be updated to the latest version in order to get OAuth support.

The other alternative is to use something like this: http://gitorious.org/twitter-proxy/twitter-proxy

I managed to build the latest version of the plugin and it worked fine on PR 1.2.

The only problem is the settings dialog doesn't show sometimes and I have no clue why.

I also lost telepathy-haze when I upgraded to PR 1.3 so I haven't tested the plugin yet.

ceroberts75 2010-11-18 19:04

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
yup...same here. it must the the Oauth

I am having the same problem (login - ntwork error - logouot in a loop)

would much rather use the integrated plugin rather than an app

any solutions

using PR 1.3

if anyone knows the dev or has alternaitive for twitter in contacts please let us know.

nope...think this is a dead end...community for the most doesn't care about this feature...perhaps if we see PR1.4 it might be fixed

Well, the source code's available. If someone wanted to roll their sleeves up, it may just be a matter of merging the latest code, which supports OAuth, into the maemo branch. Easier said than done, I expect.

Another vote for this.

kyros 2011-02-20 11:09

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
I would rather like to use this plugin as to open seperate app since the whole conversation idea for meamo bases on this.

Thus please one of the devs make some efforts on solving this problem.

BTW: Does somone know which bug report is the right one for this?

Re: Twitter plugin for N900 Contacts and Conversations
 
I'd love to pay for someone fixing this plugin. Looking at the codebase over at the google project page, it seems maintained and the custom part for the Meamo implementation probably just needs some merging done. Was anybody able to contact some dev over there?

Not really. I'm thinking: can we setup some funds? I'd like to invest 10 dollar, if some people contribute we could get this thing working!
