[Plugin: Multi Twitter Stream] Some Bug Fixes and Patch Included

  • Hi!

    I needed to display the twitter stream for several accounts, as well as display an account with the results of a search query. This plugin seemed to do the trick, but there were a couple of bugs, so I tweaked it a bit, the code is below. My patch includes:

    • Improvement to the $tweet preg_replace to add proper links for account tweets
    • A “multi-twitter” css class to <ul> for customized styling
    • Renamed indeces and loop used in “// Split array and output results” to avoid confusion / naming conflict. Also improved formatting by making screenname and search result tweets consistent in display.
    • Fixed display of human_time for search results

    Needed to upgrade to WordPress 3.5, saw the plugin was using deprecated functions, so reformatted it to use the object-oriented plugin format (permits having multiple widgets now), and various other little tweaks.

    For that and any future changes (pending a note from the plugin creator), see this: https://github.com/msenateatplos/multi-twitter-widget
