This tweet cut off right before the ampersand and gives this error message:

Warning: Twitee::_parse_status() [function.Twitee--parse-status]: unterminated entity reference Osugi Ren as "shockers": <a href="http://bit.ly/2gU1O">http://bit.ly/2gU1O</a> in /home/myacct/public_html/mydir/systemfolder/modules/twitee/mod.twitee.php on line 433 

I ran into the same issue today. I fixed it by replacing this:

with this:

in both the _parse_basic_user and _parse_status functions.

Something’s gone wacky. All the twitters in my “twitee” list are showing today’s date instead of the twitter “created_at” post date. Is it something to do with the Host server it’s on and Daylight Saving, which just clicked over where I am? Did Twitter itself maybe change something?

I’m using EE 1.6.8, if that matters.

EDIT MUCH LATER:
Didn’t realise the standard time “format” EE tag doesn’t work for it. Strange thing to miss out.

How do you format the date in this module

I have the time for {created_at) appearing as Thu Apr 15 11:09:55 +0000 2010

and want to get rid of the year and the +0000 so it is just Thu Apr 15 11:09:55

Many Thanks

Dont know if this is a bug… But my client pointed out that they wanted url’s opened in a new window… if you look at the code for a link, it says:

Shouldn’t it be:

/Henrik

Hi there,

Even though I’ve entered the right username and password, I keep getting this error when I use some of the example code in a template:

Sorry, Twitter seems to be down.

Here’s the example code I’ve copied and pasted into a template:

Twitter seems to be working fine and I can’t see any issues reported on the Twitter API status page. I’ve also noticed that if I enter an incorrect password in the Module settings page, I get the same error message about Twitter being down.

I’m pretty sure I have cURL installed on this server as I also needed that for the Google Analytics extension to work.

Any ideas about this at all?

Thanks.

I ran into the same issue today. I fixed it by replacing this:

$status->text = $this->twitterStatusUrlConverter($status->text);
$status->text = $TYPE->parse_type($status->text, $prefs);
$status->text = $REGX->xss_clean($status->text); 

with this:

$text = htmlspecialchars($status->text);
$text = $this->twitterStatusUrlConverter($text);
$text = $TYPE->parse_type($text, $prefs);
$status->text = $REGX->xss_clean($text); 

in both the _parse_basic_user and _parse_status functions.

@Chris - Just wanted to say thanks for this. I was struggling through the module PHP and ready to try something different. Works like a gem now!

Sorry, Twitter seems to be down.

Here’s the example code I’ve copied and pasted into a template:

{exp:twitee:public_timeline refresh="5" limit="10"}
{if count == 1}<ul>{/if}
    <li>{text}</li>
{if count == total_results}</ul>{/if}
{/exp:twitee:public_timeline} 

Twitter seems to be working fine and I can’t see any issues reported on the Twitter API status page. I’ve also noticed that if I enter an incorrect password in the Module settings page, I get the same error message about Twitter being down.

I’m pretty sure I have cURL installed on this server as I also needed that for the Google Analytics extension to work.

Any ideas about this at all?

The default timeout for cURL execution within the module is set to 1 second if no timeout parameter is given.

For those suffering these symptoms and want a quick fix, just add the timeout parameter:

And, for a more permanent solution change the default timeout value; mod.twitee.php line 169 reads:

Simply change the default value ‘1’ to the desired number of seconds (5-10 seconds seems reasonable).

Hope this helps.

Hi Cue,

Sorry for the delay in replying, and thanks for the pointer, much appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there a way I can display the number of “followers” with this add-on? Thanks!

So this was working great; I moved to a new server to launch the site and every page that twit-ee was on was completely blank! No errors at all.

Took me forever to figure out that it was the twitter module, but once I took it out everything was ok again. I had this problem when Twitter was down with the 1st Party Twitter Timeline, but Twitter is ok and I keep getting blank pages. What in the world is going on!?!

thanks for your help,

Jonathan

I can’t seem to get {count} and {total_results} to show anything. Their just empty variables?
