I overhauled my Tweet Tweet plugin for WordPress yesterday so it would work with the new Twitter OAuth mechanism. This morning I made it possible to download your older tweets, up to the max limit of 3,200 tweets that Twitter allows.
It’s still a work in progress but I want to get a new release out as soon as I can for current users who are using the basic auth that doesn’t work any more. If you’re feeling adventurous give the development version on the download page a go and tell me what you think!
99% of the OAuth code was ripped from Alex King’s Twitter Tools which in turn uses Abraham Williams’ twitteroauth.php library and OAuth.php from oauth.net. Thank you all for doing the heavy lifting required!

I’ve installed it on 3.0.1 with multi-site enabled and the default 2010 theme. I’m not seeing the admin panel you show on your screenshot but what looks like a more simplified version. Anyhow, I also see the following asking for the footer:
No tweets archived yet. Make sure your theme has the “wp_footer” action. must be in the footer.php or in some other theme file.
This appears as a floating panel near the top of the admin area. Not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to look or not.
Thx

Did you see Twitter OAuth login screen when you first checked the admin page? If not you probably downloaded the current release, not the development version. Can you install it again and check again?

Will your plug-in work with php4, or will it also requite php5 like Twitter Tools?

WordPress is abandoning PHP 4 in 2011. If you’re still using it, I strongly advise an upgrade.

We have a very complicated php4 based custom built cms system on the same site/server. It is in the process of being replaced, but with the size, complexity, cost etc I doubt it will be replaced any time soon. It would be nice to have a twitter plugin option till that happens, so I thought I would ask.

Sweet! One less plugin I need to build for myself now, as I approach 3,200.

now if it would make these tweets publicly available as posts, it would be perfect for our intranet to archive and follow developments that take place on twitter

You have the source code, the tweets are recorded in the database, so it would be simple to do what you want

true – i’ve gotta ask it if they could have a look into that – thanks!
