This is Great! I just downloaded your plugin and I will get it going shortly I have been wanting to start my twitter account but I just have not had the time, but I will make it now… I’m a guy who likes to host my own images so this is right up my alley. Once I get it installed and running I will give you an update Thanks for the plugin :-)

Good news is I got it uploaded and working.

now when I upload form the form it says

"There was an error posting the image: Unauthorised Twitter account" I checked my username and password 50 times and it works on twitter. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance .Alois

The plugin’s files are actually meant to be within a folder called “twitter-image-host”, not all just within the wp-content directory (unless that’s what you meant by creating the folder manually). It may be worth just using the built-in plugin installer instead of doing it manually – it’s better for avoiding little mistakes. You’ll want to make sure you have permalinks set up that aren’t just the default ?p=…, and make sure you’ve activated the plugin

OMG why is this so difficult for me. I followed the directions. There was no twitter-image-host directory set up so I manually made the folder. All the files are under the wp-plugins directory but I cannot access even the upload forms? Heck, I can’t even access any part of the plugin? What part of the directions am I getting wrong because I followed them directly. I can make the folders 777 but that won’t change anything?! Please please help me I got the latest version of wordpress btw.

Actually, it looks like you've got the wrong piece of code there - see 'Using Template Tags in a Loop', above.

As far as I know, that already happens, if you don't otherwise specify a title

hello Michael, thank u for answering. Waiting for the next realease of the plugin, could you tell me in which line of the file called "twitter-image-host.php" i have to copy the line 'ATastyPixel', 'columns' => in order to make the plugin show all the images i have published like thumbnails in a table?

i have another question: could be possible in the next realease to show the message sent to twitter too? many thanks u, the plugin is great and thanks to everyone (first you) will be fantastic!

Hello Lucio - thanks! It's getting there, gradually, but as you've discovered, it's not perfect yet.

I'd suggest the easiest way is to probably make your own twitter-image-host.php with the layout you desire - by default it uses the 'single.php' template, so it just looks like a (rather empty) post. If you wanted to make it look like it does on Twitter, you'd need to make your own template
Ah, bugger; It may be a compatibility problem with the new Wordpress version. There are still a few glitches with comments; I'll take a look at it again soon. A solution may be just to save posted images as 'asides' in WP, rather than to 'emulate' posts, as currently happens. It may be a little while until I have a solution (until then it may be worthwhile just disabling comments, perhaps linking to Twitter for replies via Twitter instead?
Anywhere you'd like tweeted images to show up; while there's already a widget, you may want to embed it in the template itself. For me, I've put it in twitter-image-host.php so that other images appear below when you're viewing an image. It's entirely up to you, though

Ah, thanks for the reminder: I updated the readme, but forgot to update this page. As it now reads above: Note that version 3.0.1 of Twitter has a bug that prevents it sending the username and password. For this version, you must use http://your-blog.com/twitter-image-host/upload?username=YourTwitterName&password=YourPassword, at your discretion. Version 0.5.7 of Twitter Image Host now supports this.

Hi!

I got an error if i try to post an image via tweetie (twitter for iphone). The following error appears: “Error uploading attachment. There was an error posting your message. It has been saved as a draft, please try resending later. (Error: could not post image).

Have you got an idea what i’m doing wrong?

I tried the urls http://myblogurl/twitter/twitter-image-host and http://myblogurl/twitter/twitter-image-host/upload with the same error :(

Hello Michael, just tell u that your plugin is great! Just three questions: -is there a way to visualize the tweet (the message) in the page including the photo? -there's no way to make the comments in theese pages work, it's just like the web stops working -where i have to put the code

Recently submitted images

   'ATastyPixel', 'columns' => 6, 'lightbox' => true)); ?>

in the file twitter-image-host.php?
