[twitter-dev] autenticating user using OAuth
Hello Twitterers, I have been building my application and everything is working fine, just I am stuck on one thing. What is the correct way to authenticate user when they come back to my site for using my application, I want to authenticate them and using Oauth, but if I Request a toaken and send them to authorization URL they have to click on the Accept button, this is okay for the first time, but if they will have to do that everytime they login to my application this will not be good. May be I am missing something, so if someone can guide me I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Hameedullah Khan.

I am wondering what I am missing. Here is what I am doing: 1. request a token from twitter. 2. Redirect user to authorization url with the token requested in 1 3. once the user returns from twitter, get the access token (or secret) from twitter based on token requested in 1. 4. use the secret for further api requests to twitter. Thanks, Hameedullah Khan

When the user logs in, I use the secret from db to make calls to twitter. Thanks, Hameedullah Khan.

[twitter-dev] @anywhere user login example broken
Hello Anywhere, Thanks for the hardwork, I know you guys might be under a lot of pressure, just wanted to let you know that there is a broken example at: http://dev.twitter.com/anywhere/begin#login-signup I am referring to the conditional connect button example. I was able to get it working as following: twttr.anywhere(onAnywhereLoad); function onAnywhereLoad(twitter) { // Conditionally display the Connect Button based on current logged in state: if (twitter.isConnected()) { twitter.User.current(function(currentUser) { screenName = currentUser.data('screen_name'); profileImage = currentUser.data('profile_image_url'); profileImageTag = "<img src='" + profileImage + "'/>"; $('#twitter-connect- placeholder').html("Logged in as " + profileImageTag + " " + screenName); }); } else { twitter("#twitter-connect- placeholder").connectButton(); }; }; I hope you will get it fixed on examples page so the new users won't waste their time finding out why it isn't working for them.

The plugin currently only supports Twitter Anywhere. It gives you full control on where and how to display the linkify links, hovercards or followbuttons. We are working on adding Twitter Connect feature to it. You can get the current version of the plugin from: http://technorious.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-twitter-connect The plugin is still not on wordpress.org we are waiting to hear from wordpress.org Feedback is more then welcome.

Hello Devs, I am trying to make pagination working on follower id, but it isn't working. it just return the whole list of followers. is it normal? For example the following API call displays all of my followers, instead of being paginated: http://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.xml?id=hameedullah&cursor=-1 Wondering if I am doing any wrong? or the pagination not working for the API call? You help in this regard will be really appreciated. Thanks, Hameedullah Khan. @hameedullah
