The Twitter Adium Saga Continues ¬
2007-01-31
Update: Please don’t follow any instructions in this article as the APIs have changed somewhat. It’s still worth a read, but make changes as directed in the updated post instead.
So, with Adium’s recent explanation as to why version 1.0 has been under development for so long, and their stating that, “it’s almost ready. 1.0 is almost done,” I figured the beta is probably stable enough for me to test.
I backed up my current Adium application and settings:
<notextile>mv ~/Applications/Adium.app ~/Applications/Adium\ 0.89.1.app</notextile>
<notextile>tar -czpf adium_backup-2007-01-31.tar.gz ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adium\ 2.0 ~/Library/Preferences/com.adiumX.adiumX.plist</notextile>
...and proceeded to install the latest beta. The upgrade was smooth and my settings & chat transcripts were preserved, so I was up and running very quickly.
However, as you may remember, my goal for using the Twitter service was to unify my status updates. Post once, display everywhere. And I was going to do this using the TwitterAdium Adium Xtra, which only works with the 1.0 branch of Adium.
Installing TwitterAdium was a breeze as well, thanks to Adium’s built-in Xtras installation capabilities (one click from the web). However, the configuration of <notextile>~/.twitter</notextile> does not work as described. There are three lines which you have to fill in in said file:
userid: XXXX
<notextile>email: blabla.com
password: secret@
What is not explained is that userid is not your Twitter “username”, but a unique number. The easiest way to find this is to hover over the link to your Twitter status RSS feed. For example, my RSS feed link is:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/39063.rss
So, my userid is actually 39063, not “morgant”. Once my <notextile>~/.twitter</notextile> file had the correct data in it, TwitterAdium worked as advertised.
I set my status in Adium to <notextile>%_Twitter</notextile> (or, occasionally, I mix and match with other Xtras), then just send my status updates via AIM to twitterim. If only someone would update the Quicksilver Adium Plug-in...
