Hi. This plugin looks great but I'm having a problem. I cant make it work. I put API key and secret information and after all the cycle (including 4sq allowing) I return to wordpress, to the same settings page with the message Not connected to foursquare.
I have this website in a Dreamhost server.
Thanks in advance for your help.

nice work.
But instead of the widget I would like to put in on my wordpress.org Page instead.
i tried to use short codes(in html format):
[foursquare_venues]checkinstype=checkinstimestamp=1

but it didn't work, what did i missed?

v1.0.6 should resolve your issues Sanguinia.
I would also suggest you lessen the width of the widget to 200px so that it fits better in your sidebar :)

Hi jinc415,
I've not come across that error either. What I would suggest though for a start is upgrade your WordPress to 3.0.3 (and I have just released 2.0.6 of the plugin) and then try again.

Have you had any issues with other plugins?
Is this an existing blog or new install?

hi nzguru

I'm getting the following error when trying to activate the plugin

"The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.mydomain.com/wp-adm.... It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly."

Searched high and low but haven't had any luck resolving – have v2.0.5 of the plugin and using Wordpress 3.0.1

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks John.

Yes there is and it is coming soon (I hope, just tied up with another project right now)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have been tied up with another project.

I will look into customizing the color scheme.

Alan, another great plugin :-) Wondering if there will be (or is) shortcodes available on the GetGlueAPI for page insertions?

Hi there, I just installed this on my blog, www.thejoyconfection.com. Was wondering if there is a way to make it match my theme... white on black? I am new to blogging and don;t know much about coding or coding language. Thanks for your time!

Wow, you are amazing! Thank you so much! I will make a donation for sure!

OK. Thanks Malcolm.
It appears that the server you are on has disabled the copy function so after some quick googling I have changed the way the images are cached. Keep an eye out for v2.0.5 which I just uploaded to wordpress.org and should be available within 15 minutes (apparently it WordPress only update plugin every 15 minutes)

Malcolm Bedell — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:19:11 -0000

Sure...I will activate it now in the footer on http://www.fromaway.com. This is the first time I have used the plugin.

Hi Malcolm.

A couple of questions ...
1. Do you have a URL I can look at?
2. Has it worked in the past and now started doing this or is this the first time you have used the plugin?

Re: FourSquareAPI Plugin for WordPress

Malcolm Bedell — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:02:51 -0000

I am getting the following errors above the widget. The map and recent check-ins show up fine after that:

Warning: copy() [function.copy]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /nfs/c09/h02/mnt/137912/domains/fromaway.com/html/wp-content/p... on line 1093

Re: FourSquareAPI version 2 released

nzguru — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:36:49 -0000

Thanks Adam.

Unfortunately the plugin only allows for 1 linked account. I will look in to the possibility of multiple accounts, but I don't think this will really be doable. Sorry.

Adam Tarry — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 06:47:19 -0000

Thank you so much for making this plugin available! Can you confirm if multiple 4sq accounts can be linked to a WP installation? I need to use it to track 3 different people's check ins. Best wishes.

hm, maybe i got that wrong... but (android) app asks me if i wanna share a checkin with my friends (Share with friends: Y/N, post on FB/Twitter: Y/N) ... so if i select no, only i can see the checkin and it tells me "off the grid" ... at least i thought that nobody can see those checkins...

edit: just googled it ... "You can check in privately on foursquare by selecting “No” next to the question “Share with friends?” (or by unchecking “Tell My Friends” if you are using a BlackBerry). Your check-in will not show up at all to your friends, but it will be visible to you in your app and in your private foursquare check-in history. You will not be listed in the “Who’s Here” list at the venue, either. Note that these“off the grid” check-ins can’t be published to Twitter or Facebook."

I didn't realize that you could checkin privately and I've not seen any data to indicate a particular checkin is public or private. Could you let me know please how to do a 'private' checkin so that I can see if the data returned is any different.

If it is at all possible to hide private checkins then I shall certainly add that option.

yeeeeeeeah .... it works. i tried it with IE and it worked,and after saving ID and Client about 3 times i was able to connect to 4sqr (after three tries) ... finally.

but one more thing: it shows my checkins even when I check in "off the grid" ... is there a chance that i can hide those (private) checkins??

Re: FourSquareAPI Plugin for WordPress

Chris Metzker — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:04:48 -0000

yap..thats right,its @ the 4sqr page....i'll contact them ... just thought i check you first ..but thx for the fast reply...hope I'll get it to run

nzguru — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:49:23 -0000

Hi Chris. I don't actually have a captcha code as part of my plugin so the problem must be with the foursquare registration process. Please contact foursquare themselves describing the issue you are having. Sorry.
