Lock Info Issues

[CaptainOblivious]

Greetings, I've been using Lockinfo for several weeks now and it's suited all my needs. The twitter, mail, messages, and favorites plugins have all worked fine.

Until recently where I stopped getting status bar icons for mail and messages. (Both have status bar icons enabled) That's issue #1.

My biggest gripe is with twitter and RSS feeds. Tweets from my timeline no longer show up and no amount of refreshing or anything helps. RSS feeds simply show as empty. :/

I'm unaware of anything that would cause this. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi! I ran into the exact problem yesterday. Suddenly, the twitter Timeline in Lockinfo was empty, and I haven't been able to restore it since. I do have a legitimate licence for lockinfo. I've tried the following so far without luck:

- Remove and reinstall twitter plugin from cydia (reboot in between)
- Deactivating and activating the plugin
- Re-authorizing my twitter account from within the settings
- Revoking and re-authorizing the app from within twitter web-settings.

At the same time this problem arose, I was also installing a twitter sidebar gadget for my desktop computer (Tweetz). The thing is that Tweetz wasn't able to show my timeline either, although it showed the "mentions"-feed. The lockinfo plugin won't show the "mentioned"-feed either.

I haven't had any experience with this Tweetz gadget, but my bet would be that there might be a problem with third party apps trying to sync with twitter. The official twitter app still works, though.

Ok, found these posts on twitter just now, guess that they give some answers to our little problem (Patil is one of the lockinfo twitter plugin authors). I guess we just have to wait.



David Ashman:
I’m getting reports of the twitter plugin not getting data. Do you have any time to debug?

Rajendra Patil:
Failing for me too. Looks Twitter API issue. {"message":"Sorry, that page does not exist","code":34}. Only DMs API is working


---------- EDIT ----------

I looked into it some more, and it seems that Twitter just launched an updated API (v 1.1). I guess many third-party twitter app users are unhappy if the app developers haven't paid attention to the changes to come.

Pasted from one of the twitter development webpages:
In the coming weeks we will release version 1.1 of the Twitter API. To help you plan ahead, we're announcing these changes now, before the new version of the API is available. Changes will include:

-required authentication on every API endpoint
-a new per-endpoint rate-limiting methodology
-changes to our Developer Rules of the Road, especially around applications that are traditional Twitter clients.


From what I understand, the old URLs pointing to a users timeline has been rendered invalid and need to be changed within the plugin code. So I guess we are at the mercy of the plugin developer. Twitter also states that this API housekeeping started on the 9th of october, which corresponds to the start of our problem.

PS: I'd love to put in some links, but since I registered for only an hour ago, I'm not allowed For anyone interested, try googling "API 1.1 twitter".

Looks like Mr. Patil has fixed the issue. He made an update for the plugin, but it's still not listed in cydia. I downloaded his .deb-file from his link from twitter. The twitter post was not listed in my timeline feed, but you can access it by going to his twitter profile. Twitter username is "rrpatil26".

I installed it by opening the link in Safari on my phone, then open the file in iFile (if you don't have iFile, you need to SSH into your device). Choose "installer", respring your device and there you go! I don't know how long it'll take until it's up on Cydia, but for us impatient guys, this is the way to go . I have it running perfectly, and the section header graphics are much more in line with the rest of lockinfo too. Much appreciated!

Note: I had to re-authorize the plugin from within the lockinfo settings, though. I don't know if this is nescessary for everybody, as I might av revoked the authorization prior to installing the new updated plugin.

It looks like it's updated on Cydia too, now. That was fast :-)
