Twitter OAUTH

[teckie]

Twitter feed can't be retrieved starting September 1, 2010. I think it's because they changed to OAUTH instead of the basic one.

WP: Version 3.0.1 Lifestream: Version 0.99.9.8-BETA

I'll second this. Basic authentication is now dead, as outlined here (http://dev.twitter.com/announcements). Are their any plans to update the lifestream plugin to use oAuth for user-authentication? While I CAN add my Twitter RSS as a generic feed, lifestream turns the entire content of each status update into a link to the individual status update page at twitter.com, meaning links within the text of each update no-longer work directly from a blog page.

Can this please be updated to use oAuth?

this is definitely an issue that needs to be looked up.. should be easy to fix

I've fixed this issue:

http://www.robmcghee.com/programming/twitter-for-lifestream-fix/

You just add: .'&source=twitterandroid'

After the end of line 72: return $url_base . '/statuses/user_timeline/'.$this->get_option('username').'.rss?page='.$page.'&count='.$count;

Giving you this: return $url_base . '/statuses/user_timeline/'.$this->get_option('username').'.rss?page='.$page.'&count='.$count.'&source=twitterandroid';

You can see that it's worked on my blog at http://robertmcghee.co.uk

@mousey - Doesnt seem to work for me. I've noticed that the requested change has been added to the master here, but none of my Twitter feeds are updating nor can I add a new one. When adding new one this is what I get:

There were errors with your request:

Error fetching feed from http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/[myusername].rss?page=1&count=20&source=twitterandroid (A feed could not be found at ).... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

/statuses/user_timeline[myusername].rss?page=1&count=20&source=twitterandroid The funny, or annoying part of this is that I can click the link and clearly see the atom feed with all its details. So why is lifestream unable to account for this feed?

@tquizzle

I'm not a programming guru I just found out about the flag sorry. but at a guess I would say it sounds like you have a non UTF-8 characters in your current 20 tweets and so this is causing the script to error.

Other than that sorry I have no idea

@mousey that works for me

Any fix is better than no fix...

The fix should be implemented.
