Posted Jul 30, 2013Whenever I open the book... It says "No tweets found"? I tried making a new tweet with the account, redoing the command; all nothing :( Any ideas why?

Posted Feb 8, 2013It's working now anyway, so I'm guessing it was just a fluke :)

Going to guess that it's an I/O Error (only error I told to just print the message in the book), which is thrown at pretty much anything. Unless you can give me the error in the console log I won't be able to fix this.

The only thing I can think of is to update the book when they open it (may have to add a minimum amount of time passing since last checks or people will spam opening it). I'll think about it and experiment with some stuff. Please note this feature has been added as the 6th piece of programming on my todo list, so may not be started till next weekend.

Posted Jan 24, 2013@matthiasvd2 The tasks are not run on the server's main thread so should not cause kippers to other sections of the server.
@Jones988 Books can only be updated by redoing the command. The time is the time between broadcasting tweets (into chat). Hence being under the 'Broadcast Tweets' section. Oh god, just read the config section I'd written before, so ugly... I'ma re-do it now.

New build up. I've fully tested it, except broadcasting, but that should not be broken, as no Bukkit code has changed for it. That's the main reason I use it on my server as well, using a book was a cool feature when books came out, but now it seems like a bit of effort to use them for this.

Posted Jan 21, 2013That's okay, the main reason I went with this was it can broadcast them, the books is just like a really awesome bonus :D

Well fixed that little bug, but on testing it appears the layout for tweets has changed, I'll need a little bit of time to try see what's changed.

Plugin incompatible with version of CraftBukkit used, please use the latest build one I release it. Should be soon. This is due to http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/safeguarding-against-unchecked-and-potentially-damaging-plugins.116749/ However the next build will not rely on CraftBukkit so shall be safe for future update for a while. EDIT: Just uploaded newest version, should be downloadable soon.

If the player is holding a written book with the title Twitter, then uses the command /TwitterBook [@Feed], it will override the content of the book with the Twitter feed specified in the command. The second main feature is that the plugin will listen to the feeds set in the config and broadcast the new tweets as they come in (the amount of time between checks for new tweets is configurable).
