Hi keilo,

The new release is build against Skybrud.Social 0.9.4.1, while the previous release was build against Skybrud.Social 0.9.1.1. But as far as I remember, there shouldn't be any breaking changes for the TwitterHashTagEntity class, but I'll look into that. For reference, you can see the history of the class/file here:

https://github.com/abjerner/Skybrud.Social/commits/master/src/Skybrud.Social/Twitter/Entities/TwitterHashTagEntity.cs

Anyways, if you add using Skybrud.Social.Twitter.Entities; to the top of your file, it should work.

Just to be sure, if you check the properties of the Skybrud.Social.dll, what version does it say? And how did you install/update the package? NuGet or via the Umbraco Package?

Hi Anders

Thanks for the swift reply.

I have done a quick check. I noticed I was happily running the version 1.0 with U7.1.8.

The twitter oauth was giving a weird once-in-blue-moon authentication exception, but it normally turned ok after refreshing the page few times - and didnt happen again. So I accepted this is a twitter related delay of some sort and lived with it.

When I see the updated package, tried installing 1.02 on to 1.0.

I encountered the error above when I uploaded 1.0.2, after then I uninstall the package. Then installed 1.01 version. The same exception was thrown. After which i uninstalled 1.01 and installed back the archive 1.0 version.

Then it started working again as normal with 1.0, the exception thrown is exactly the same on 1.02 and 1.01. Now its running on 1.0

I have tried it on two system, so I believe the steps can be replicated (users on 1.0 upgrading to 1.02 (or 1.01) ).

Dll properties from uninstalling 1.01 and back to 1.0: (i.e. version that doesnt throw exception)

It seems the DLL was the same for 1.01, as the previous sshot of the same dll properties looks same:

dll properties from 1.01 package install:

I have checked the partial where the twitter content is fetched and it already has the reference Skybrud.Social.Twitter.Entities

Hi Anders

The same error on both 1.01 and 1.02, not two separate errors.

This is the partial code, added try-catch when i get on-and-off twitter authentication errors and couldnt figure out why - repetitive refresh of page solved the issue so i'll let it be.

It seem the < pre > is not working with html, which tag i should use to post so all code with html will be visible here? [EDITED: paste code, select and Ctrl+K ]

Thanks for the heads up. Edited so the code shows properly.

Not using NUGET, installed via Developer->package.

cheers

Many thanks Anders.

Updated the code, and now using the latest version.

cheers!

is working on a reply...
