[Plugin: WordPress Twitter Bot] WP Twitterbot on WPMU

  • Hi Chris and others,

    Wanting a very basic, low impact and light Twitter plugin to run on my WordPress_MU installation, I was drawn to WP Twitterbot. It turned out that the way this plugin currently saves it’s options (while it is geared toward the new options saving methode) is not yet up to the heavier requirements of WordPress MU (and future releases of WP, so I understand). I have fixed the plugin version 1.0 to work in WPMU by improving the options form to use the settings_fields function (if exists) and including a whitelist filter hook.

    After removing the admin notice action to avoid annoying blog owners that do not have a twitter account, the adapted plugin seems ready for my WPMU install. I will be testing in the next few days.

    Already I noticed the URL is not coming through on tweets…

    Anyway, if anyone is interested in the code changes to get the options admin working on MU, just let me know ??

    Thanks for developing this lean plugin!

  • OK, the missing URL was due to server restrictions making file_get_contents return nothing. Replacing it with the wp_remote_fopen wordpress internal function (which falls back on cUrl if fopen is restricted) makes URLs work too…

    So far so good ??

    Also wrapped all add_actions except admin_menu in a if (get_option('tb_twitter_username')) since I do not want to force blog owners to have a twitter account ??
