Hi guys,

Just updated to the development set of plugins (I'm using the plugin updater and chose development, so i'm not running a mix of prod and dev).
I have noticed that the twitter protocol now truncates retweets.
Where it should say:

abcnews: RT @abcnewsPerth Perth news newsy news blah blah

it just says:

abcnews: RT @abcnewsPerth

All retweets seem to have this issue - the message only contains the tweeter's name, but not their actual tweet.
I'm using the group chat feature, if that helps.

Thanks.

bump!

If i reload the non development version of miranda and twitter, then retweets work again, so i know it's not a Twitter API issue, it's a miranda issue.
I had a quick look at the source, the RT code is from line 228 in the twitter.cpp code.  Ghazan made some changes to this code about 5 weeks ago here:

http://trac.miranda-ng.org/changeset/13835/

and i guess he didn't test it.

Hm, I don't use Twitter, but quickly looking at that commit, it seems to be correct (assuming that the previous code worked, I didn't check the exact JSON format). Maybe I'll add some more logging.

I think it didn't worked even before. I was using twitter plugin for few months and I never saw correct retweet's text (at least I don't remember that). So it must be older change...

Wishmaster, could you maybe commit your changes?

Or provide also 32 bit version, please. :)

Wishmaster, hmm, probably it's still not fixed.

I'm seeing just "RT @ " as content of retweeted tweets.
