Umbraco 1.6.1Twitter for Umbraco 2.0Windows 8 / IIS 8Just wanted to point something out you may have heard about. In the 'Twitter for Umbraco' notes it says v1.6 was upgraded to use twitter's new API. However, my twitter feed stopped working sometime between yesterday and today.In this discussion https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/16289, they mention the REST 1.0 API was officially retired on June 11th, 2013. When I look at a network trace of my page loading, I get this in response from twitter:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><errors> <error code="68">The Twitter REST API v1 will soon stop functioning. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.</error></errors>The request looks like this:GET /1/statuses/usertimeline.xml?screenname=@OurCompany&includerts=true&excludereplies=1&include_entities=1&count=10 HTTP/1.1..Host: api.twitter.com..Connection: Keep-Alive....Am I missing something? Or will there be an update for Twittier for Umbraco? Thanks for any feedback. Have a great day.
Same here, too. In our case we don't mind install a different package, but - as pointed out in this thread - uTwit does not work below Umbraco 4.8. So we seem to be stuck with our 4.7.1.1 and 4.7.0 sites since Twitter for Umbraco does not support the new Twitter API and uTwit does not support older Umbraco versions.
Is it possible that we can expect the needed updates (or detailed update instructions) for Twitter for Umbraco or uTwit within shortly?
Version 1.1 of the Twitter API requires authentication for each request, so you'll need a Twitter API application and keys + request signing etc. That's why I'd suggest to switch to uTwit, because it's all taken care of. If that means you need to upgrade umbraco, it's just a good excuse to do so ;-)
Upgrading to a later version of Umbraco is unfortunately not an option in our case. At least not for the moment, our sites are just too big.
However, the man behind uTwit - a package intended for Umbraco 4.8 and later, that works with the new Twitter API - claims that it's possible to adapt his package to older Umbraco versions:
"uTwit makes use of some base classes that were introduced when MNTP was merged into core in 4.8 (Namely AbstractJsonPrevalueEditor). It is entirely possible to make uTwit work for earlier versions by copying this and any associated elements into the package..."
But as is evident from other posts in the thread, it is no easy thing to make this adaption. So, if someone has succeeded, we - and probably many others these days - would be very grateful for some detailed guidelines.
I've tried uTweets on a 4.7.1.1 site (where Twitter for Umbraco stopped working) and it works great. Good job, guys! Many thanks for making it available. /Jan

Hi
I have the same problem with this - our twitter feed stopped working a couple of days ago.
Don't really want to install a different package if I can help it - does anyone know if there is/is likely to be an update for Twitter for Umbraco?
Thanks
Carl

As I look at the error message in the first post I see this error : "REST 1.0 API was officially retired on June 11th, 2013."
It seems that the API used byt this package doesn't work anymore. Package needs to be updated.
If you don't want to wait until the package creator does this you can find the source here : http://twitter4umbraco.codeplex.com/
It's not easy to upgrade the API version to 1.1.
Version 1.1 of the Twitter API requires authentication for each request, so you'll need a Twitter API application and keys + request signing etc. That's why I'd suggest to switch to uTwit, because it's all taken care of.
If that means you need to upgrade umbraco, it's just a good excuse to do so ;-)
Kipusoep,
Upgrading to a later version of Umbraco is unfortunately not an option in our case. At least not for the moment, our sites are just too big.

See this thread.

We had the same problem with the new Twitter api, and developed our own package: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/utweets . For one of our clients we installed in on umbraco 4.7.0.
I've tried uTweets on a 4.7.1.1 site (where Twitter for Umbraco stopped working) and it works great. Good job, guys! Many thanks for making it available.
