[twitter-dev] Re: Retweet Anywhere for WordPress

[kovshenin]

Abraham, that's nice, though there may be one drawback when shortening
the links. A call to bit.ly or other URL shorteners could take some
time, thus slowing down your page if you do it server-side. Of course
you could cache it or do it via javascript with a PHP tunnel (AJAX)
but what's the point of shortening the link if there's a very little
chance that people will actually tweet it. On the other hand, if you
shorten only when somebody pressed "Retweet" then there's a greater
chance of them actually tweeting, so it's worthed ;) Anywyas, if
you're using a preset shortened link then it's good, and I like the
way it looks ;) bravo!

Ed, it is easy with a few tricks, check out this one
http://kovshenin.com/archives/setup-twitter-anywhere-for-wordpress-in-seconds/
called Setup Twitter @Anywhere for WordPress in Seconds. Anyways, the
value of this plugin I'm thinking of is not actually the "embedding
@Anywhere" part, but having the facebox style popup with a preset
status and a shortened link to the post.

Ya. I was surprised when that change was made.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to end user session?

[Andy Freeman]

While oauth/authenticate with force_login=true does force users to
provide credentials, oauth/authenticate leaves them logged into
twitter, which is somewhat dangerous from a shared or public computer.

oauth/authorize used to behave differently - it didn't leave users
logged in.  However, that
changed - see http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=1453
.

[twitter-dev] Re: Can our twitter app call "/oauth/revoke"?

[Andy Freeman]

While I may not want to revoke access for a key, I don't want to leave
folks logged into twitter if they use my application from a shared
computer.  (And no, asking them to log out from twitter isn't
reasonable.)

It used to be that oauth/authorize did NOT leave users logged into
twitter, now it does.

Yes, but, for example, is Sir Tim Berners-Lee even *on* Twitter? I know
Marshall Kirkpatrick is, but he's a journalist, not a standards-maker.

Of course, there are *lots* of people I'd like to see on Twitter.

Re: [twitter-dev] Re: xauth error -1012

[Josh Bleecher Snyder]

> I did all I can and I'm STUCK at the point.

A little easy googling (for "NSURLErrorDomain error 1012") turned up
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/501231/can-i-use-nsurlcredentialstorage-for-http-basic-authentication,
which might be helpful for you.

Also, again, some very easy searching in the Xcode docs yields
NSURLErrorDomain error -1012 as:

NSURLErrorUserCancelledAuthentication
Returned when an asynchronous request for authentication is cancelled
by the user.
This is typically incurred by clicking a “Cancel” button in a
username/password dialog, rather than the user making an attempt to
authenticate.

So it looks like you're getting an auth request in the http response
and you're not handling it correctly / at all. So either the auth
request is incorrect -- in which case you should probably post the
full http request and response to this list -- or you need to handle
it. (If you don't know how to handle it, and you can't figure it out
from the docs, it's probably a question better suited for an iPhone
dev list.)

I had both the Topsy and TweetMeme "retweet" button plugins on my
WordPress site, but I took the TweetMeme one off. I forget why,
actually. In general, though, I'm starting to become a minimalist when
it comes to WordPress plugins. My traffic monitor (GetClicky.com) is a
must-have, and I've put a Twitoaster widget up and I installed
TwitConnect to get @anywhere.

But I'm not seeing a whole lot of activity from *vistors* for all the
other conveniences, like my Topsy retweet button or Add To Any. I'm
pretty much the only one promoting my blog, in other words. ;-) Most of
my traffic comes from my own tweets or when I post my own links to
DZone, StumbleUpon or Reddit. And I get almost nothing from search.

Speaking of WordPress and @anywhere, I spotted this today:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-twitter-anywhere-in-wordpress/

It's not all that hard to do @anywhere in raw code, it seems.

There is no oauth/revoke method. Personally I don't see much utility in one

[twitter-dev] Can't get @Anywhere to respond

[Joe Taylor]

I have registered the application and received the API Key. I believe
I am doing the code right, but I can't get even the simplest
implementation of @Anywhere to work on the site.

http://www.tweettrakr.com/jmt3

There should be a oAuth connect button in the far right pane. It
creates an iframe in the div, with the right size but there is no info
in the frame container.

This is the only implementation I have found to have any affect on the
div at all, most others result in nothing happening.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Joe

[twitter-dev] Re: xauth error -1012

[sae]

Yes, a...@twitter.com granted my app for xAuth...
Any suggestion on what I should do to fix the issue?
I did all I can and I'm STUCK at the point.
This xauth issue is holding back the release of my app for a week :(

[twitter-dev] Re: Does @anywhere follow buttons count towards api limits?

[Albert Stein]

Thank you for the reply - should I apply for whitelist status in that
case?

I don't think I need 20,000 - just something more than whatever is the
max now - so my customers (and yours) don't get hit with errors.

[twitter-dev] Re: Public Timeline Frozen

Taylor,

I just remembered that you were planning to change the generation of
status ids.  Has that already occurred?  If so, where is the
documentation on that again?

[twitter-dev] Can our twitter app call "/oauth/revoke"?

[Robbie Coleman]

I do not see it documented, and dev.twitter.com/doc 
is throwing 403's on searches, but I do see that your own 
"http://twitter.com/settings/connections"; "Revoke Access" links call this on 
the click event.

I am trying to provide our users a clean UI for managing all of their OAuth 
enabled networks/sites, and twitter is one of those. Both Facebook and Google 
(their OAuth contact API) provide API calls to revoke a user's 
access_token/session_key.

Re: [twitter-dev] How to end user session?

[Abraham Williams]

You can add send users to
https://twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token=xyz&force_login=true(notice
the &force_login=true) to have users always prompted for username
and password on twitter.com.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API OAuth explanation?

[Taylor Singletary]

In the current incarnation, you don't need a registered application to use
the streaming API -- just a valid username and password to access the
endpoints.

While we don't know what the OAuth-based authentication is going to look
like in the future of authenticating with the streaming API, we do know that
using a username and password won't be tenable for long.

Re: [twitter-dev] Streaming API OAuth explanation?

[Dima Brodsky]

Hi,

Question about oauth registration ... do I register the user ID I currently
use at the same place as all other apps, i.e.http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new,
or is there another endpoint for the streaming api?

Thanks!

Re: [twitter-dev] Tweetbox not tweeting

[Taylor Singletary]

Also, make sure that your application is capable of both read and write
access -- we have a deploy in queue that will make this easier to notice,
but in the mean time you can verify and toggle the setting at
