[twitter-dev] @anywhere login code samples
Hi there,
Some of the @anywhere sample code in the Working with the current
user section required some tweaks to get working.
The text specifies a User Callback function but the sample code does
not.
Also, the twttr.anywhere() function does not appear to work with an
API key, instead I specify it with the anywhere.js file.
Here is a modified code snippet that appears to work:
//var anywhereApiKey = abcdefghi-123;
//twttr.anywhere(anywhereApiKey, 1.0.0, onAnywhereLoad);
twttr.anywhere(onAnywhereLoad);
function onAnywhereLoad(twitter)
{
// Conditionally display the Connect Button based on current logged
in state:
if (twitter.isConnected)
{
twitter.User.current(user_callback);
}
else
{
twitter(#twitter-connect-placeholder).connectButton();
}
};
function user_callback(currentUser)
{
screenName = currentUser.data('screen_name');
profileImage = currentUser.data('profile_image_url');
profileImageTag = img src=' + profileImage + '/;
$('#twitter-connect-placeholder').innerHTML = Logged in as +
profileImageTag + + screenName;
};
Thanks,
Andrew

[twitter-dev] Re: Introduce yourself!
Hello all, My name is Andrew Seigner. I created http://heypic.me to display tweets on a Google Map, with iPhone integration and a public API supporting XML and KML. The site uses python-twitter and oauth-python-twitter. I contributed minor changes to each, adding Geo and Trends support to python-twitter and a bug fix to oauth-python-twitter: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/ http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter/ The feature I would most like to see was actually fulfilled a few days ago with the release of the mobile OAuth login page, go team! The next feature I'd like to see is delegated OAuth, so the iPhone app could post photos to TwitPic or YFrog, rather than just using ImageShack. Nice to meet everyone, Andrew http://twitter.com/siggy_sf http://heypic.me/user/siggy_sf

This is great news Ryan, big ups to you and the team! Andrew twitter.com/siggy_sf On Jan 29, 7:20 am, Ryan Sarver rsar...@twitter.com wrote: Good news. A mobile-friendly version of the OAuth page is due to be deployed next week (finally!:). We look forward to your feedback on the new screens when they are ready. Also, we currently block any custom protocol URLs from being registered as a callback to protect against XSS attacks. However, you can email a...@twitter.com to request a custom callback for iPhone apps and other mobile platforms that support it. Thanks for your endless patience on this pesky issue.

One reason (excuse?) for not usingOAuthin Spaz on webOS is the poor functionality on mobile. I'm really reluctant to move toOAuthuntil the flow for mobile is improved.

I'm partly curious to know/confirm whether our app is the onlyiPhone (or mobile) app that uses TwitterOAuthlogin for posting tweets, but I also want to know what you think of the UI, if you've used TwitterOAuthlogin in any publicly released mobile app. Thanks Ram
[twitter-dev] Re: Any iPhone Twitter apps with OAuth login ?
Hi Raffi, If you guys really wanted to go all out for the iPhone, you could implement your OAuth login page using PastryKit. It would provide ideal webview integration. For those not familiar: http://davidbcalhoun.com/2009/pastrykit-digging-into-an-apple-pie Thanks, Andrew twitter.com/siggy_sf On Jan 11, 10:32 pm, Raffi Krikorian ra...@twitter.com wrote: 2. Replace the manual PIN entry requirement with something else. The OAuth 1.0a designers greatly under-estimated the poor usability of manual PIN entry, especially on mobile devices. One suggestion off the top of my head: allow OAuth 1.0 (in addition to OAuth 1.0*a*) if--and only if--all parts of the OAuth authorization flow take place in the same TLS session (e.g. using TLS session resumption and/or a persistent HTTPS connection when/if Twitter supports persistent connections) and the application is registered as a desktop app (not a web app). i definitely hear the pain in the PIN workflow -- just as a quick point of note, we're not set up to handle persistent HTTP/HTTPS connections at this time. keep the ideas going - loving this thread. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Teamhttp://twitter.com/raffi
[twitter-dev] Re: Any iPhone Twitter apps with OAuth login ?
Hi Raffi, I concur with the above suggestions by Fabien and Rich. Our iPhone app, heypic.me, displays the OAuth login page in a webview. Upon launching the login page, we only see about 20% of our users get all the way through the Twitter login process. This is not a bug, we've checked, but rather the cumbersome experience of using that login page. Thanks, Andrew twitter.com/siggy_sf On Jan 11, 1:42 am, Rich rhyl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Raffi For me there are two very important changes that need to be made to the oAuth login page 1) The DENY button is currently default, which means if you hit the return button on the iPhone keyboard is uses DENY instead of ALLOW. Please change the default button! 2) Please have a mobile friendly version like the m.twitter.com login page so that it fits a 320px wide screen without zooming.

Raffi, That would be such a great improvement. I think the required changes is small, I would go very simple and just display a login/password and the 2 buttons approve/deny in *large* without the sidebox on the right you have currently, as it's not needed. Something like what you get when you browse twitter.com/username from your iPhone.
