Thread: Getting Facebook, Identica and Twitter in conky

i have released version 0.1 of cwibber.
cwibber easy use command line interface gwibber, makes easy (currently) identica, twitter , facebook messages in conky.

first of all, add ppa /etc/sources.list:

code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mcielen/ppa/ubuntu [version] main  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mcielen/ppa/ubuntu [version] main

ofcourse subsitute [version] intrepid, jaunty or karmic. add pgp key:

code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0da7f92b

since cwibber depends on gwibber >= 2.0, add gwibber ppa:

code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu [version] main  deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu [version] main

again subsitute [version] intrepid, jaunty or karmic. add pgp key:

code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 72d340a3

and, usual:

code:

sudo apt-get update

now you're ready install cwibber:

code:

sudo apt-get install cwibber

since cwibber depends on gwibber, it'll installed too.

use cwibber 0.1, you'll have run gwibber create accounts want use, , run gwibber once start gwibber daemon (this changed in cwibber v0.2). call cwibber .conkyrc:

${execi 60 cwibber}

important: before can use cwibber first have authorize gwibber through facebook!

todo cwibber 0.2:

- check whether gwibber daemon running, if not start it. depend on gwibber developers, since refresh intervals have stored in gconf. developers promised changed soon. (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/417903)

- allow management of accounts through cwibber instead of through gwibber

todo later versions:

- i'm hoping convince gwibber developers split gui , daemon. if won't happen, might pack gwibber daemon cwibber. (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/421285)

call developers , testers

test app, , open lp bug problem find or features want see in next versions.

since i'm far developer myself, need project. interested in developing? contact me through forum or mail.

have installed cwibber, can`t seem work facebook enabled, when tried running terminal got

ade@ade-laptop:~$ cwibber
facebook
traceback (most recent call last):
file "/usr/bin/cwibber", line 70, in <module>
print "%s: %s %s" % (message["sender"], message["text"], remove_html_tags(message["extended_text"]))
keyerror: 'extended_text'
ade@ade-laptop:~$

however when changed

ct_fb = 2 # facebook

ct_fb = 0 # facebook

works fine albeit no facebook messages
