Twitter Tools 1.0b3

I’ve posted a new beta release of Twitter Tools. This fixes a couple of bugs and takes advantage of the new API features Twitter rolled out in the last few days. We’re still one API feature away from a full release. Enjoy.

The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.

If you have any trouble with this, please open a thread in the WP Support Forums and send me the link.

Great little plugin; I’m converting from MT to WP and have added it to my draft home page. My only request is a small one: CSS classes for all the displayed elements. Keep up the great work.

There is an id on the wrapper div, so you can already target any elements you need.

Thanks for this, Alex. IDs or classes for the links would make my life a little easier, but I’ve hacked the PHP a little bit for this and also changed the way the tweets display, getting rid of the li list tags so I could wrap the tweets.

I bet learning more about CSS specificity would server you even better.

Fantastic work, Alex. A quick suggestion, if I might:

I’m using Twitter Tools to display all Twitter updates I make as blog posts on my tumblelog. It looks sort of strange though when an entry and it’s title are exactly the same (specifically, when Twitters are short.) I went in and manually removed the part of the code that wrote the Twitter update as the post_title, but perhaps in a future version there could be a checkbox to turn on or off titling entries? Even something like your Digest Post Title input would be great, “From Twitter: %tweet%”.

Another thought: Some sort of custom field “tag” marking a blog entry as made from a Twitter update, so they could easily be noticed and handled differently by code within The Loop. I’d like to display a small Twitter icon by all blog posts made from Twitter, but I’m not sure I can easily right now.

Of course, you surely aren’t made of free time to work on such endeavors, I am mostly just hypothesizing. This really is quite a nice plug-in and I look forward to seeing any new updates!

I like it alex. I was wondering though, if there was anyway you could give the “more updates” link some sort of justification so that it doesn’t have the same css as the time since links. Thanks a lot for the cool plugin though

I’ll put a class on that LI element so you can target it with your own CSS.
