First things first
Many thanks for a great script its areally nice.
Now to the bread and butter of the post, i'm looking to secure the bot as i don't want every random posting tweets, i have set it to require the n flag within eggdrop but i was looking to remove the channel access requirement so that only people with the n flag could post but not just give access to people with OP on the irc channel, can this be done? |

Sure that is entirely possible.. | Code: | # what modes can people temporarily tweet with
# these are channel modes, not flags on the bot
# you can use op, voice, or both, or "".
# (list)
set twitter(channel) [list "op" "voice"] |
Change the last line to: set twitter(channel) [list]
| Code: | # the binds, change these if you want to
bind pub - !twitter proc:twitter
bind pub - !tweet proc:tweet
bind pub - !private proc:private
bind pub - !myfriends proc:twitter:friends
bind pub - !myprofile proc:twitter:user
bind pub - !myhome proc:twitter:home
bind pub - !public proc:twitter:public
bind pub - !mymentions proc:twitter:mentions

bind pub - -app [list proc:twitter:apps "Removed"]
bind pub - !apps [list proc:twitter:apps ""]
bind pub - +track [list proc:twitter:track "Added"]
bind pub - -track [list proc:twitter:track "Removed"]

My bot performs the .die command and tells me:
This script requires the OAuthSingle package, it _cannot_ be used alone.
I've tried adding the original oauth.tcl script, and I've installed the packages in the readme.
What am I doing wrong? |

Follow this advice exactly. You should have no problems then.  _________________ speechles' eggdrop tcl archive |

the commands all seem to work, and last night the only issue I saw was in the msg sent to my irc channel there are strange number strings present before @user
[12:59] <@GamBot> Sam Letram: <Gamblore> I updated my icon! ( 135233287240155136@Gamblores - 12h, 7m, 10s ago via SerenityMegahal )
Are they supposed to be there?
Since getting up today and looking at logs i'm also getting an error that wasn't present last night:
[13:03:03] OAuth failed: (403) Error: status is a duplicate.; Request: /1/statuses/update.json ( ok )
[13:03:03] (Megahal) GamBot replied to (gamblores) accounts. |

the errors cleared up after i deleted twitter.dat |

Yes. Those are supposed to be there. That is the tweet ID. How else can you reply to someone's exact tweet without that??!
A tweet that mentions a person goes like this:
| Quote: | | !tweet @Gamblores HI |
A tweet that mentions a person and references the exact tweet they made goes like this:
| Quote: | | !tweet 135233287240155136@Gamblores HI |
For example, below the %ID% is required. You cannot reply-to users tweets without it.

You can see the difference by clicking here. Notice that on that page is the tweet, along with the original reference. This is known as a "reply-to" ID tweet. It shows you the tweet that the reply references. If you remove %ID% you will never be able to do these. This is how the script works ID@user

Your megahal bot is very new. It isn't generating unique text. Twitter doesn't like you to repeat a recent status update. Your bot, since it is a recently new megahal, doesn't have alot of different text to reply with. So is replying to tweets it sees with a duplicate status update. That error tells you this. Clearing twitter.dat fixes it because this forces the script to re-attain all of its last-id's and makes it forget everything. _________________ speechles' eggdrop tcl archive |

I've never used facebook. I'm betting the best you could relay would be wall updates, and possibly "likes". But I can see "likes" having the potential of unusefulness and being a spam potential.
When you say "something like this", in terms of facebook, what do you mean exactly? Twitter lends an obviousness to it's usefulness. With facebook I can't tell what exactly would be useful in an iRC context. Facebook is picture based primarily.
The twitter script was developed and steered over the course of 2 years. I knew nothing of twitter when I started and now I know more than I ever wish I did.
So I guess what I'm asking, since you brought it up. Twitter and Facebook are not the same. So what is very elegant to do with twitter, this script, will be very hard to mirror using facebook. Thats all I mean..
But... What are you ideas for it? As remember, I have no idea how facebook works.. So give your ideas in a context that keeps this in mind.. ;D
and blake, one final piece of advice.. heh
http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=17556&start=60
That url, explains entirely the setup. If you read beyond that initial post down into the thread from that point on. It explains any issues the new oauth requirement have caused and explains precisely how to fix them. If you have any issues with signature generation or timestamp durations appearing correct refer to this as the documentation. That's all there really is. I've never taken the time to document a users guide for birdy. Thats likely what is needed for more users to take advantage of twitter on their eggdrops. Alot figure it's too much hassle to setup. When the reality is, its a setup once and done. The steps are outlined clearly. Its actually a very very simple script, twitter.tcl. The complicated script is oauth.tcl. But you only ever touch the settings within oauth.tcl when you have issues. 90% of users won't have issues. ;D _________________ speechles' eggdrop tcl archive |

Hey speechless,
Wondering if there is a tutorial for the part where you need to make an app on http://dev.twitter.com for the twitter script? _________________ Idling at #Football, Quakenet. |

A Suggestion: How about if when you type !twitter <username> it will also inform you if the user is following you or not and if you are following him.
i.e:
<User> !twitter IRCFootball
Name: IRC Football; location: #Football @ IRC Quakenet; Following: 2,885; Followers: 2,713; Listed: 23; Total Tweets: 1,464. Following: No.
Follows You: YES. _________________ Idling at #Football, Quakenet. |
