New twitter client for classic Amigas, any beta testers?

[ciVic]

This might be a problem. AFAIK the current (last) version of HTMLview.os4 doesn't run and seems to be severe broken. The 68k (OS3.x) version doesn't behave really better. I tried to test your 68k (OS3.x) build with OS4.1 - no way, it crashes unrecoverable while trying to start/use HTMLview...

Yes, the OS 4 native version is really a problem. But I was able to start an OS 4 native twittAmiga with the OS 3 HTMLView (the OS 3 libcurl also causes crashes, therefore twittAmiga must be native).

Hello
My machine is an A4000 Cyberstorm PPC/060 CVppc and its running WB3.9 bb2 with MiamiDX
It loads the GUI of twittamiga but freezes completly the system.
Here you have attached the log (zipped because its really large and amiga.org does't allow them)
I'm using tiwittamiga 1.35 from aminet (not ixemul)
If you need something more, snoopdos , etc plase ask.
I'm really interested in a twitter account con amiga.
If you want to followme on twitter: @doraemonppc
A lot of thanks and sorry for my bad english

PD: The old ixemul version loads fine, I can read my timeline but post my status doesn't work)

Keep Up Good Work!

Hope to see an Os4.x fully working version soon

Thank you for this log. Really stupid bug found, and a strange one. I'm wondering how this can work on my and other machines. And note for me: Do not use sprintf on Amigas, it does not work. I think I will release an update in the next days.

Can you also send me a log of a failing status update? That could be something else.

Hello.
I've tested another time with twitt amiga (ixemul) and now it sends my twitts (WTF?)
The only extrange thing is that in my avatar puts the afatar of a friend that i follow
A lot of thanks, a small dream comes true.
BTW, I have the htmlview mcc from aminet.
Its a beta versiona and all the time asks for update, but I can't find a stable version.
Any link with a stable version that works fine?
Thanks!

The newest version is from 2007 and it shows also this message (can be found on sourceforge). I think the version on aminet is this newest.

Do you have HTMLview.mcc installed?

Yes sr! .. and not working!

[chris]

Just had a go with the new version on Aminet and using the 68k htmlview.mcc.  I now get this:

Code: [Select]


parser error : Memory allocation failed
parser error : Memory allocation failed
noname.xml:2: parser error : Memory allocation failed
<statuses type=&quot;array&quot;>
                      ^
parser error : Memory allocation failed
noname.xml:35: parser error : out of memory error
    <time_zone>Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</time_zone>
                                ^


Plus a lovely recoverable alert 8000009 (I think).

The xml2.library is not the perfect solution for OS4 I think. In the OS4 version I use the OS4 native libxml2. But sorry, at the moment I'm not able to continue the development on the OS4 version, since I've bought a broken Mediator board and currently I'm waiting for the confirmation that I can send it back to Elbox. So no OS4 ready machine at the moment.

twittAmiga is working fine for Cammy and I now. Here's a screenshot from her Workbench running a few internet applications including twittAmiga:

It seems to be largely working on OS4 now too.  There's a DSI (from bsdsocket.library) that can be ignored past, and for some reason the tweet field takes up half the screen, but it is working (for reading anyway):

Thats great. The editor is so large simce the map can only be as large as the viewed image, so it cannot grow any further if you resize the window. It you disable the map view it should have normal size.

Resizing the window works, I'd missed the balance gadgety thing between the text field and the tweets/map.  I can't disable the map because the menu item is a MX item with no other choices (so it won't let me deselect it).  That should be easy to fix.

I have to delete the .secret and .key files every time I launch it, as the .key file isn't getting written (it's a 0 byte file).  If I leave it in place then it fails to authenticate - which makes sense as it's trying to use an empty string as the key.

Hey guys can this work on an Amiga 500? How can I get my Amiga 500 to go online?

[ciVic]

You mean the switch is a radio button with only one choice? It should be a checkbox like on OS3 and MorphOS. Anyway, you can change that in the icon properties.

Maybe the empty files are a bug that is not a problem under OS3 and MorphOS. Probably I can find that.

Yes. The behaviour of MX menu items changed in OS4 so it is now impossible to deselect all items of a group. I don't know how menus are created in MUI, but in GadTools adding the flag MENUTOGGLE fixes this problem (I've seen it in quite a lot of OS3 software - including my own! - it's easy to miss as the visual appearance and functionality on OS3 is the same if there's only one item in the MX group).
