Hi Micheal,

the plugin is exactly what I've been looking for - I'm having to use a twitter widget and a twitpic widget in the sidebar and wanted to combine them. So this should be perfect.

Only snag is that it's not recognising the twitpic images....

I know twitpic keep shifting things (and it's also a while since the last update so maybe this has been put to bed) but are you planning a new update of can you recommend a solution or an alternative?

Thanks

Hi Jess, You probably need to clear the cache – do it by opening the widget settings ('edit' on the widget), then saving (you may need to change a setting, then change it back later, I can't quite remember)

Thanks Michaels… But it doesn't seem to work on my own blog… But it's allright, it's allready a great plugin ;)

Sorry about the delay, Jess; I've rolled in Michael's changes to the official version now, 0.2.5.

Hey I played with it and got it to work. Had to change the code a bit and work in debug mode. I'll email u the fix tomorrow.

Hi Michael,

That's a pain! It should be working with Twitpic, but as you say, they change things around so fast, I'm not really surprised it's fallen over again. I'll take another look at it soon.

Great idea but i've not seen it work in practice yet. I mostly post with tweetie for iphone and if you add a photo it uses twitpic. So is this ever going to work with twitpic or do they change their service too often?

I know this is an insanely late reply (my apologies), but yep, this is correct behaviour: Unfortunately, the Twitpic image URL changes frequently (probably to avoid hot-linking), so we have to open the page. Twinkle's all good though.

Hey,

Thanks for looking at the code... Seems to work now =] another few things I've noticed however...

-Twinkle pics, respect the lightbox flag, however are they supposed to be tiny when viewed in the lightbox, I would have thought a full size image would show?

-TwitPics, don't respect the lightbox flag, and just take you to twitpic, is that the expected behaviour?

Cheers again

Thanks for the heads-up, Luke - Twitpic and Twinkle change so often that it's a real chore to keep up with them. There was also a bug that was introduced when integrating the latest version of Twitter for Wordpress.

Both issues should be fixed now, and I zipped it on the command line to stop OS X putting in the control files it loves so much.

Would also seem that the image discovery isn’t working for either twitpic or twinkle… take a look at http://luke.sheldrick.co.uk/blog/ the widget twitter #1, have just tried both types, and neither seem to ‘discover’ the images…

Could you let me know if it’s broken…?

You've a bit of useless data in your zip file, see below;

Archive: twitter-for-wordpress-plus-images-v024.zip creating: twitter-for-wordpress/ inflating: twitter-for-wordpress/readme.txt creating: __MACOSX/ creating: __MACOSX/twitter-for-wordpress/ inflating: __MACOSX/twitter-for-wordpress/._readme.txt inflating: twitter-for-wordpress/twitter.php inflating: __MACOSX/twitter-for-wordpress/._twitter.php inflating: twitter-for-wordpress/TwitterImageUtil.class.php inflating: __MACOSX/twitter-for-wordpress/._TwitterImageUtil.class.php

may be an idea to clean it up, the osx folders&data aren't needed.
