GNOME Do Twitter Plugin
January 28, 2008overview
A simple little plugin for GNOME Do that lets you post to twitter.
As of version 0.5, I am no longer actively developing this plugin. All work is being done by the official Do plugins team on Launchpad, and you should go there for source, feature requests and bug reports. Per user request I will continue to provide my old tarballs here.
As The ChuX NorriX Blog noted this acts as a sort of meta-plugin for Do, giving you access to any web service that can read from a twitter feed (e.g. Remember the Milk).
Check out also my del.icio.us plugin for Do.
As always, feedback much appreciated. Enjoy!
license
GPL blah blah blah.
dependencies
If you are using the precompiled dll, make sure that you have libgconf2.0-cil and libndesk-dbus1.0-cil installed.

How To Install Gnome-Do Plugins | LiNUX FTW! — March 7, 2008 @ 2:33 pm
gnome-do freezes when I try and send a twitter update, the only way I can stop it is by switching to a VT and killing it from the command line. Gconf settings are ok — at least they seem to be — and the network proxy is configured. Can the proxy be the problem ? I glanced at the source code, and from what I see, the web request does not handle it.
(shuffles a bit through Mono documentation)
I don’t do C#, but from what I see, adding a couple of lines for the proxy would do the trick:
<pre try {
http_proxy = gconf.Get (“/system/http_proxy/host”) as String;
request.Proxy = new WebProxy(http_proxy, 3128);
} catch (GConf.NoSuchKeyException) {
…
}

Can’t compile it.
[jherran@gazelle ~/Desktop/downloads/Twitter]$ gmcs -target:library -r:System -r:Mono.Posix -r:/usr/lib/do/Do.Addins Twiter.cs -pkg:gconf-sharp-2.0
Twitter.cs(17,32): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `IAction’ could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
Could you please tell me how can I solve it?

It looks like you’re using an older version of Do – this is based on the most recent bzr.
Either get the latest source for Do or download one of the older versions of the Twitter plugin (0.2 would probably be your best bet).

0.4 doesn’t work with GNOME Do 0.4 here. It does report “Successfully loaded “Tweet” action.” at startup, but typing “twe..” does nothing.

This is a very popular Do plugin. Would you mind sprucing it up a bit (Mono coding guidelines, shinier icon(?), libnotify popup confirming successful tweet) so we can package it with the other official Do plugins? When you want to merge it, apply for membership in do-plugins.

Would you mind adding some of these links and information on the official wiki? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo/Plugins/Twitter

Can you continue to stick the .dll up here?
Alex Launi — March 22, 2008 @ 9:11 am
Hey, what libraries does one need to compile this plugin? I wrote a small patch for the notifications but I can’t compile/test it.
Alex Launi — March 22, 2008 @ 10:55 am
System and Mono.Posix
ndesk-dbus
gconf-sharp
and the usual Do dependencies (Do and Do.Addins)
Obviously, you also need notification-daemon running for the notifications to show up.
Jacob — March 22, 2008 @ 11:05 am
Interestingly, 0.5 also refuses to work with Do 0.4.
John E. — March 22, 2008 @ 2:59 pm
It’s possible that you’re missing some of the dependencies. Make sure you have libgconf2.0-cil and libndesk-dbus1.0-cil installed.

Hey, I’ve written some patches to your Twitter plugin including contact autocompletion for replying. I’ve got them in my Do code branch. https://code.launchpad.net/~alexlauni/do/alauni-plugins. You should merge them, it’s a good addition. I would have emailed you but I couldn’t find any contact info on your site.
Alex Launi — April 2, 2008 @ 5:14 pm
That looks awesome – thank you so much for the patch.
Jacob — April 2, 2008 @ 10:01 pm
I suppose calling it a “patch” isn’t exactly accurate on either of our parts, but hey, what’s it between friends right?
Glad you like.

thanks for your work on this, jacob! i like using it so i can post without going to twitter’s site and getting distracted by the list of other people’s updates.
how can i make do stop popping up a message each time someone else tweets? i don’t need that flashing in my face all day long when i’m trying to concentrate on something else. i’ve turned off “show friend status updates” in the plugin’s configuration, but nothing changed.
i’m using v1.0 of the plugin with do 0.8.0.
thanks!

Having the same issue that @jeff covey is. I can’t seem to have the notification from popping up.
