I’ve added another update to ThinkTwit as of yesterday; this includes use of ordered lists (ol) instead of unordered lists (ul) as it is more semantically correct, removed some old code left over from some time back that was no longer necessary, and added the ability to output usernames instead of Twitter names.
The roadmap has been updated – check it out if you want to know what features will be coming soon, and feel free to provide suggestions.
Yesterday I posted a small update to ThinkTwit to fix some internal code issues, update the readme and update a screenshot to correctly represent recent changes. As usual, feel free to provide feedback and I’ll do what I can to improve it!
I’ve today updated ThinkTwit to version 1.1.2 with 2 key changes:
These changes were requested by ThinkTwit users but will no doubt be useful to others out there. The no-caching support uses AJAX (via jQuery) to output code from a pure HTML file (the format in which the cached page is stored) and the CURL support offers an alternative to the standard URL get method which may cause the following error (or similar) if URL file-access is disabled:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /..../wp-content/plugins/thinktwit/thinktwit.php on line 145
Warning: file_get_contents(http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from%3Adeleted&rpp=3) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /.../wp-content/plugins/thinktwit/thinktwit.php on line 145
Additionally I have added debug messages to assist in locating errors when calling the method that requests the Twitter feed.
I learnt some valuable lessons about creating AJAX capable widgets and maintaining their ability to multi-instance, so I will post a blog on this shortly.
