Twitter Is Back!

Hello Mugshooters!

We have been making huge strides with the Daily Mugshot website and although you may have not seen a lot of the changes on your end, we really ramped things up behind the scenes. A quick overview of what's been done:

- Ruby: upgraded from 1.8.4 to 1.8.7

- Rails: upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.3.8

- Exceptional: this plugin helps us track errors in the web application so we can get them fixed as soon as possible.

While these updates may seem meaningless to many of you, they have been paramount in our ability to put out more meaningful updates such as the Twitter upgrade :) That's right, the Twitter integration is now available again! You can setup your twitter account now by visiting http://www.dailymugshot.com/publish#twitter.

With these robust updates we hope to be cranking out lots of new functionality so send in your ideas! You can expect the Facebook integration to be coming out soon too :)

Thank you all for your loyalty and sticking with us! I know it's been a long time, but now we're back in action :)

Daily reminder has not been sending emails this week. I checked account to verify still active, and it is.

Cannot find the html code for that!
Thanks

GabeOdess said...

The widget code is right there on the publish page: http://www.dailymugshot.com/publish

not on my publish page. I am using Google Chrome. Is that the problem?
I can see my link for twitter, and that is the only thing i can do.

@ GabeOdess: Cool! We can't wait. Thanks for all your efforts and dedication!

Christine, what version of Chrome are you using? Also, when you visit http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ what version of Flash does it say you have installed?

Christine said...

@GabeOdess. Thank you for trying to help me out here!
But I already tried something else (copied a html-code from some-one else and put my code in it). Now it works.

Chrome is version 9.0.57.84

I have flash version 10,1,103,22 installed.

I tried it also with windows explorer and firefox. All the same.

Christine, please try upgrading your browser. I am using Chrome 9.0.597.94 with Flash 10.2.154.12 on Windows XP and it seems to be working without issue.
