[twitter-dev] Re: Visual refresh of the OAuth screens
Looking good!
Just a heads up that on Safari on a Mac you have to press enter twice
to submit the "username and password" form.
Just like with the old oAuth Screen. =)

[twitter-dev] Authenticating with $_SESSION['oauth']['oauth_token'] and $_SESSION['oauth']['oauth_token_secret'] returns "Request token must be exchanged for an access token before use"
Hi guys.
I'm trying to authenticate with the tmhOAuth PHP class by Matt Harris.
I'm using $_SESSION['oauth']['oauth_token'] as 'user_token' and
$_SESSION['oauth']['oauth_token_secret'] as 'user_secret'.
But when I try to verify_credentials it returns the error:
{"request":"\/1\/account\/verify_credentials.json","error":"Request
token must be exchanged for an access token before use"}
Am I doing it wrong? Is the oauth_token and oauth_token_secret
sessions not the right ones to use?
If I use a token and secret that I stored a month ago it works just
fine..
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Tobias C. Jensen

[twitter-dev] The best method for finding new retweets
Hi guys. I just tried showing my retweets using retweets_of_me. However, if I get someone to retweet one of my already retweeted statuses, nothing changes in the result - because it already figures as retweeted, and retweets_count always shows 'false'. So does this mean I have to look them all through and find their individual retweets, everytime I want to find out if I've got new ones? Or is there another method I can use? All I want to do is monitor new retweets.

It seems, though, that if I change just one of the three parameters in

[twitter-dev] Callback never called with the Streaming API
Hi guys.
I've been digging into the Twitter API using Themattharris's excellent
PHP class a lot these past two weeks.
Everything has been fine with standard OAuth calls, but now I would
like to make use of the User Stream - which the class appearently
supports. However, nothing is returned when I do try the following:
tmhOAuth->streaming_request('GET', 'http://stream.twitter.com/1/
statuses/sample.json', array(
'count' => 10,
), 'test_callback');
function test_callback($p) {
echo 'Now printing: ';
print_r($p);
ob_flush();
}
I get a status code '200', but test_callback is never called. If I do
not set a parameter, I receive an error status, so it seems like it
ought to work.
Is there a kind person out there, who can get me on the right path, or
am I completely off track here? :) I've been struggling with this all
day and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere online. I have
found a couple of examples that seem to do exactly what I do, but with
succes.
Thanks in advance - and for the many useful answers I have already
found here!
- Tobias
