Twitter SharePoint web part - another update!

February 9, 2009 18:34 by Aidan

** Update June 2010 - new Twitter web part using OAuth rather than Basic Auth **

When I mentioned that I was developing a Twitter web part to Mirjam van Olst she asked if it would be possible to work on it with me. So thanks to Mirjam, in the true spirit of international collaboration, we are now able to bring you an updated version of the web part which is more secure and easier to deploy.

Improvements include -

  • The password input now uses a password textbox to protect the Twitter credentials
  • TwitterLib.dll has been added to the wsp for easier deployment

Download the new and improved Dutch/British/Euro version here: TwitterPublicTimeline.wsp (24.25 kb)

Thanks for developing this web part!  However, after I enter the username and password, I get this in the window:  "Access to the path 'Witty' is denied."  Any tips?

Hi Nancy - I am unable to repeat the issue you are experiencing. I am logged in as a site visitor and am able to view the web part with no problem.
Is the TwitterLib.dll deployed to the GAC or the web application bin directory?
