This was a great plugin, do you plan to fix it? @dove

[Batou]

Works like a charm.

[dove]

Updated plugin, should work now.

Adblock Plus block embbed tweets be sure to disable it.

Small request for improvement: in library.js you have the hardcoded link http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js . This gives problems (or warnings) with forums that run using "HTTPS". Can you modify the link to //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js? That way the browser will automatically choose HTTP or HTTPS depending on which protocol was used for loading the page :). Thanks!

The plugin doesn't work for me and I have the following warn in nodebb log :
warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-twitter] "callbacked" deprecated as of 0.4x. Use asynchronous method instead for hook: filter:header.build

Is it related to my local setup ?

@Frédéric-Coubard I'll take a look, seems the plugin hasn't been updated.

EDIT: Will submit a pull request to the original author shortly, if you want it immediately. Go into your node_modules folder inside nodebb and do the following:

git clone https://github.com/a5mith/nodebb-plugin-twitter.git

###Make sure you're in the node_modules folder inside nodebb folder###

Then go into your ACP and enable it, restart your forum. Then on twitter, click the date it was posted to get the URL.

@julian Why didn't you tell me making plugins was this easy?!?! Something clicked while I was looking at this. Feels goood. evil laugh

Thank you @a_5mith .

I don't have the reported error in log anymore, yet I don't have the plugin working

I have the tweet url via the date, no problem. I copied and pasted. I paid attention activating the plugin and restarting nodebb. But no joy :-(.
Any idea ?

[a_5mith]

@Frédéric-Coubard Can you try the following:

cd ~/nodebb
npm rm nodebb-plugin-twitter
cd  node_modules
ls 

Look to make sure the plugin is gone.

git clone https://github.com/a5mith/nodebb-plugin-twitter.git

Reactivate the plugin, restart nodebb. Go back to your live site and refresh your cache. Ctrl + F5.

If it still doesn't work, I'd need to have a look at a live example if you have it so I can debug for you. But cache and making sure you're on the right version should work.

(Also the official repo has been updated with my changes, shouldn't take long to appear on npm hopefully)

That's what I like to hear... to be honest, the hardest part is filling out all of the plugin.json package.json (etc) files...

@a_5mith uninstalled your way and restarted, not better

Here is the topic with my tweet in messages : http://forums.fabriques-alternatives.org/topic/8/serveur-dev-a20-olinuxino (if it works...). Is it possible to not work on my local network but work on the net ?

[a_5mith]

@Frédéric-Coubard I think that is what is happening. It works, just not for you.

Also @julian getting a parse error and unexpected < when trying to upload to imgur using the imgur plugin, possibly a regression from the new composer?

[julian]

I noticed that as well... @baris?

[Couby]

@a_5mith LOL ok thanks lot.
I noticed this also with nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended.
