Hi, works beautifully.

Here are rewrite rules for Nginx. This might not be the prettiest way to do this, but at least it works on my server. These rules are for http://example.com/tweets/ and should be in server block of Nginx configuration. It took me some time to get these working, so I thought I might as well share these.

server {
…
rewrite ^/tweets/([0-9]+)/?$ /tweets/index.php?id=$1 last;
rewrite “^/tweets/archive/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$” /tweets/index.php?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 last;
rewrite “^/tweets/archive/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$” /tweets/index.php?year=$1&month=$2 last;
rewrite “^/tweets/archive/([0-9]{4})/?$” /tweets/index.php?year=$1 last;
rewrite ^/tweets/page/([0-9]+)/?$ /tweets/index.php?page=$1 last;
…
}

Hello Andrew,

Is there a way to modify this to archive a specific #hashtag?

Been playing with the code…

Hi. firstly THANK for an excellent plugin! Really love it, and doing 2012 miles in 2012 challenge, it really hits the spot.
I am however struggling to get the Page functionality to work. In the back end I can see all the graphs and data etc, and the sidebar widget is updating perfectly as well, but if i add the Cycling page I just get the page saying that there is no data and “get out and ride”. So I am not sure why it’s not picking the data up. I haven;t amended the page in any way – simply just published it.
Do you have any pointers as to what or why this might be happening?
Thanks again for your excellent work!
TheMAMIL

Can you make a dummy’s guide on how to do this? Because I’m not much of an IT whiz.

Alexandre, the impact of having your cron.php file public is that it eats away at your Twitter API limits. You (your username) has a limit of 350 requests per hour. This limit is per username, and applies to ALL Twitter apps you use. If your cron.php link goes public, you might find that you’d go over your limit and be unable to use other Twitter clients to check your tweets. It’s possible that you wouldn’t reach the limit, but I recommend against making it public for the reasons above.

One thing I was thinking recently: What is the impact of leaving a link to my Cron.php page with its secret key on it? I’d do so in order to update my database more often. The way I see, even if someone clicks on it, the worst thing they’d do would be updating my database. Or am I missing something here? Is there anything bad that can be done with my secret key? (It has nothing to do with any other password I have, either on this system or any other.)
