Tweet My Post is Back, Working

Category: Programming,Tweet My Post,WordPressksg91 @ 12:48 pm

Sorry for the inconvenience, guys. Tweet My Post was not working for last 4-5 days and I only got to know about that 2 days back.

Being quite busy in office projects, I didn’t have enough time to look after my plugin. But I have already released the hotfix which has solved the issue. Tweet My Post is working again.  Go and update the plugin from your admin panel or download it from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweet-my-post/ asap.

My plugin uses https://github.com/jmathai/twitter-async library for Twitter API. It uses version 1, which is deprecated. However version 1 should work till March 2013 but it was returning “Page Not Found” error for last 5 days. I don’t have clue what has gone wrong with Twitter API or this plugin and I don’t have enough time to look into that either.

I fixed the issue by changing the version to 1.1 by updating line number 25 in EpiTwitter.php to

[php] protected $apiVersion = ‘1.1’;[/php]

You can also use library’s function to update version to 1.1 by using

[php]$EpiTwitter->useApiVersion(‘1.1’);[/php]

before sending any request.

I’ve sent the pull request already to Github. Author of library will unit test the changes and merge it asap. You can use updated version by downloading it from https://github.com/ksg91/twitter-async until it is merged.

What is Tweet My Post?

It is a WordPress plugin allows wordpress users to set their twitter handle and whenever a new post is published, tweet will be sent with post’s title, link and it’s author’s twitter handle. A sample tweet would be “POST_TITLE – POST_LINK by @AUTHOR” . If Author has not set any handle, only POST_TITLE & POST_LINK are tweeted.

Don’t forget to rate the plugin. 🙂

Tweet My Post – A WordPress Plugin

Category: PHP,Programmingksg91 @ 10:16 am

I also run a blog at http://NokiaTips.in and we have many authors there. I always wanted a plugin which auto-tweet our new post to our Twitter account @NokiaTips. There are several WordPress plugin available but I wanted more out of that. I wanted that, that tweet should also contain the twitter handle of Author, so that readers can know that post is authored by whom. I searched WordPress’ Plugin directory but couldn’t find one. So, I thought, better to create one, myself.

I have almost finished the plugin. Find its Git repo at Github – https://github.com/ksg91/Tweet-My-Post

I may have some bug. It’s beta release for now tagged 0.9.

If you have any suggestion, please let me know. You can also contribute to Plugin by forking the repo.

Feel free to try the plugin, after all, it’s free. 😉

Autolink-Twitter : A WordPress Plugin to Autolink the mentions and hashtags

Category: PHPksg91 @ 3:27 pm

WordPress’ official plugin contains some nice plugins that automatically replace mentions and hashtags with links to the profile and search page. But they also brings other several features. I just wanted a simple plugin which does only this thing. I also wanted to learn making plugins for wordpress. So I thought to make one.

So here is a plugin I named Autolink-Twitter. It links mentions to twitter profile page and hashtags to search stream.

Download Plugin: Autolink-Twitter

How to Install?

Put autolink-twitter.php file under your plugin directory and activate plugin from your admin menu.
I haven’t uploaded the plugin yet to wordpress.org library because I think very few people would be interested there.
You may keep up with this plugin on my Git repository on github at https://github.com/ksg91/Autolink-Twitter
