It seems that I can't post from Twadget anymore. It started late last night and is still occuring now.

Twadget works great if you have Internet connectivity while Vista boots or when you add the gadget. Should you hibernate and "Wake up" later where there is no connectivity or you boot and their is no connectivity it is blank. It allows posting fine but never refreshes.

Hi, I like very much your Gadget!
I have only a suggestion: it's a little too tall, so if you make an option to reduce the height of about an half, i will be very happy! ;)

Great gadget - I am going to have do write up a blog post about it as Twitter is something I am just starting to mess with.

As for the comments about this working after sleep or hibernating - woke up just fine for me this morning with everything listed.

Jon Collins said:

Just installed, thanks!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for submitting the post? Ctrl+Enter was what I expected but it didn't work. Sure would be nice. :)

Glen said:

Twadget isn't posting for me either...

Michael said:

There appears to be a bug installing on copies of Vista that aren't English language. I'll look into it for the next release.

Milos said:

It stopped updating last night on Vista Enterprise (US version). Any ideas?

Peter said:

Hi, the installation doesn't work... any advice or trick?

Thx

I get a script error; line 2146 - the debugger shows the error in this method:

httpData: function( r, type ) {
var ct = r.getResponseHeader("content-type");
var xml = type == "xml" || !type && ct && ct.indexOf("xml") >= 0;
data = xml ? r.responseXML : r.responseText;

if ( xml && data.documentElement.tagName == "parsererror" )
throw "parsererror";

// If the type is "script", eval it in global context
if ( type == "script" )
jQuery.globalEval( data );

// Get the JavaScript object, if JSON is used.
if ( type == "json" )
data = eval("(" + data + ")"); /* line 2146 */

return data;
},

Man, I don't know what the deal is, but I get a Runtime Error using this gadget whenever it tries to refresh. Well, 90% of the time. The following comes up -

Line: 2146
Error: Expected ')'

ANy chance of getting this checked out? I don't know if it's the tweets causing this since some days it's fine and others it's impossible to use. Awesome little gadget otherwise!

Paul said:

I love this gadget and use it mutliple times daily - THANK YOU! But it would be nice if it was skinable - like how they do it on that Hobby Lounge sidebar web site.

Thank you again,
Paul

Hi,

This is a great gadget, unfortunately installation doesn't work automatically under Vista Business Edition, but the solution is to unzip the gadget file and copy the content in the Gadget folder.
A great update would be to resolve it because a lot of people don't know how to do it...

Are you interested in a French or German translation, or are you working on it ? Please let me know !

FINALLY a twitter client where unicode works flawlessly. Great for non-English speaking guys out there. Thanks for that.

Ross Mills said:

I'd love a feature to shrink it. It's rather large.

Hi,
I've got a problem at the installation (@vista)...
I click "install" but nothing happens :(

Can you help me?

Greets, sL!z3r

Josh said:

I'm getting the same "Line: 2146 Error: Expected ')'" runtime error mentioned in the post back in November. It happens continuously. I had to uninstall it because of this unfortunately.

Phil Wilson said:

Very nice.

Feature requests:

* customisable background colour (ignoring bottom logo)
* Hitting ESC closes the "Post" window (or change Post text to "Close" when text box appears)

Phil Wilson said:

Also, will the source appear?

Norm said:

Just started twitter last week and got this today. Great gadget!

Requests:
- Some way to close the post window. "Esc" and/or "Cancel" button would be nice.
- Configurable height. Either number of pixels or a simple enumeration. (small, medium, big, monstrous etc.)
- The refresh bar is slightly annoying. Configuration for message bar? (top,bottom,hidden) Make the whole area opaque? Just a few ideas.

I second the opinion about the error when you're offline (and only when you're offline). It would be great, if you can fix that nasty error, because it pushed me to not use the gadget! And the bad thing is - I really like the gadget!

If you'd like more details about the error, do not hesitate to mail me at my address in this comment.

Thanks for the great work!

nerd. said:

Just found and installed this baby. Seems good. My main gripe is, as mentioned above, it's far too tall and pushes my other gadgets out I know I don't really need an analogue clock, but my stock ticker and resource meter are both gone now :(

Oh and it installed fine for me on Vista Business.

@norm
Clicking Post again dismisses the Post box.

I'd like a configurable height too. This thing is huge.

Also, the "Post" box appears to be losing focus on flyout- is this normal?

Agagooga said:

We need a way to close the post window.

Otherwise, doing great.

Matthieu said:

Same problem as sL!z3r when I clicked "Install" nothing happens :(

Vista Business ed. SP1

Thanks for building this tool - exactly what I was looking for. I blogged it!

Best Twitter Gadget for Windows Vista

Daniel Little said:

Good job man, works awsome! were can i donate?

Andy said:

Couple of features I would like...

1. Variable height
2. Longer history so I can see what I missed. Or at least a way to click through to the twitter home page to read them

If you put the source out somewhere I will be happy to add them.

Hi, I found a problem with offline use. When I'm offline the gadget can't get data and errors occurs.

Balb said:

Keep getting a runtime error when I install your Gadget:

Line: 2146
Error: Expected ")"

Have you seen this before ?

Thanks

Very nice.

Are you still maintaining Twadget? It would be nice to be able to view than the last few tweets. Maybe add a scroll bar.

rn said:

mine never ever seems to post. Just once it did. the next time I used the gadget, completely gone as in blank screen.

Hi I hope you're still working on this excellent gadget as there hasn't been any updates since last year.

One major thing that is a big problem is the lack of error handling when there is no network connection available - all I keep getting are JavaScript error popups - any chance you could take a look at getting this feature in? I see from the comments I'm not the only one who thinks this would be great.

The errors are usually at line 2146 (syntax error)

Installs but doesn't get any data when I put my login info. Restarted and reinstalled many times.... Lame.

[BLT]FQX said:

Please add some shortcuts, such as Enter to post and Esc to cancel.

[BLT]FQX said:

Is this gadget exceeding the API rate limit of twitter?
Please add an option to adjust it.
