Twitter button

This is the feedback topic for the twitter button extension

Visit http://extensions.pivotx.net/entry/25/twitterbutton for more info or download.

22-2-2012: The extension's active file contained a typo in the identifier so a new minor version (1.0.3) is released correcting this. This new version will not show up on the dashboard as a new version. Every one is encouraged to download this new version through the link above.

Nice extension, thanks for that. Only one thing:
I used the following syntax on my entry page: [[ twitterbutton text="Post on Twitter" button="vertical" ]]

The button works (posting to twitter), counter goes to 1 but resets to 0 when I refresh the page.
Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

Great Extension, thanks.

Hmm.. sounds like a glitch - do you have an url where we can see what's happening?

Is it possible that it takes some time before the result shows up?

I click the button: it shows the tweet window, I post the tweet.
The button shows 1.
I refresh the page: the button shows 0.
But when I try another refresh after some time, the 1 is there (don't know if someone else tweeted in the meantime, but don't think so).

You can try all the articles on my weblog if you want: http://verbaljam.nl
It's in Dutch, but 'Lees verder' means 'read more' (to come to the entry page of an article).

There _is_ a bug with the title, I see. I'll fix that.

The 'counter' being updated, then not, and then updated again is not a bug I think.. What i think is happening is:
- You post on twitter
- The button immediately updates the counter by 1, to show it was posted
- If you reload the page, it shows the old score, coming from twitter's cached score for this page
- After a while twitters cache is updated with the new score, and that is displayed.

Ok Bob, thanks for the explanation. I now understand what's happening.
What did you mean by a bug in the title?

[Bob]

If you click the button, it says "Post on Twitter" in the twitter window. you've probably copied the code verbatim from the docs:

[[ twitterbutton text="Post on Twitter" button="vertical" ]]

If you do this, however, the extension always picks up the entries own title:

[[ twitterbutton button="vertical" ]]

Thanks very much Bob, I will change that.

I'm still having this same exact problem with the counter resetting to 0. I waited 3 days and it never updated. What happens is you click the tweet button, the tweet works, and it says Count 1. However as soon as your refresh the page it goes back to 0. I tried to see if this was a caching issue on twitter.com's part but it doesn't seem like it is because I just checked it again today and it still reads 0. Anybody know why this is happening? I need to fix it ASAP for a site I'm putting up and I don't want to go to another tweet button because they aren't as good.

Thanks
