[mohamdio]

hi, i have issue now , like that :

when i use this code private $consumer_key = 'gfgdgbdjdgffhghghghghghghg'; // my Consumer Key

work fine...

but when i use variable instead static key like that : private $consumer_key = $consumer_key_from_theme_options;

give me syntax error ..?

so now how can i use variables instead static number or keys !!! ???

wait your replay thanks.

Hey Mandooox! So basically I think this comes down to variable scope. Without seeing any of your code, I'd probably suggest you try something like this:

/*
Put this before 'class ezTweet' in the PHP file

(This is all assuming you can successfully set $consumer_key and etc from the Wordpress config)

Get your variables from Wordpress here, IE with get_option(); 

You can look here for more info on WP get_option()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Options_API

*/

$parameters = array(
    'consumer_key' => $consumer_key,
    'consumer_secret' => $consumer_secret,
    'user_token' => $user_token,
    'user_secret' => $user_secret
);

Then, change the __construct() function to something like this:

public function __construct($parameters) { 
    $this->consumer_key = $parameters['consumer_key'];
    $this->consumer_secret = $parameters['consumer_secret'];
    $this->user_token = $parameters['user_token'];
    $this->user_secret = $parameters['user_secret'];

    /* rest of __construct() function... */
}

And finally, at the bottom of the file, change $ezTweet = new ezTweet; to $ezTweet = new ezTweet($parameters);

This will allow you to pass the parameters to the constructor without resorting to global variables :+1:

If you're still having problems, send me an email with a pastebin link to your code and I'll get it working for you :)

Try turning on debugging: on line #49 change

private $debug = false; to private $debug = true;

Then look in the Javascript console for any errors being reported, that should tell you what the problem is. (In Chrome, right click on the page with the "Loading twitter feed..." and click "inspect element", then on the right click "console"), there should be some text there explaining what's wrong.

Can you provide a link to a page using tweet.js?

[mohamdio]

hi, sure i check from that , before you tell me and didn't get any errors and this status happened with me before , when i was added incorrect keys. so i see the problem because the keys don't assigns right by variables ...??

[StanScates]

Did you set $debug to true? The errors will be hidden from the JS console without debug enabled

[mohamdio]

hi, yes sure i make it true .. but didn't get any error :(

i see the problem because the variables ...right ? are you try to use variables with your code in any work with you.

[StanScates]

If I use your pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/qCiPn2qr and I comment out the include and put in my twitter OAuth credentials I have no problems, I would make sure that the include() on line 4 is not causing the script to die. Also, what's the path to the file you're running? If it's not /twitter/index.php then the script can't make request to it, which is where you'd specify the alternate path with the modpath option as detailed in the docs. Are you running a PHP version older than 5.1? If you email me a link I can probably tell you more.

[mohamdio]

hi, i found the problem like you say exact because this include : include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/theme-options.php'); // this will get global variables from theme options

when i hidden it , tweets appear fine :) , so why happened that , and now i can't include any files in this file ..?

[StanScates]

That is most likely because TEMPLATEPATH is undefined, probably because you need to include wp-load.php to get that constant.

Here are some relevant articles you can read on the subject: http://frankiejarrett.com/2012/04/the-simplest-way-to-require-include-wp-load-php/ http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/26254/how-to-include-wp-load-php-from-any-location

[mohamdio]

hi, many thanks for you , i will see the links last question :) : now all thing will be okay after twitter closed API 1.0 in 5/3 right ? i mean i should don't worry now about the plugin ...?

and thanks again for your :+1:

[StanScates]

That's correct, the point of this PHP is so it works with Twitter API v1.1

No problem, feel free to open another issue if you have questions. :)

[mohamdio]

thanks , but are you talking about PHP version older than 5.1 ?

[StanScates]

No... the point of this PHP file you're working with is so tweet.js works with the new Twitter API

[mohamdio]

okay .. thanks for you.
