February 11, 2010
I use Atahualpa theme. I would like to put Google Buzz on the left or right bar. Where should I paste the code
When I pasted the first code
in header area via Editor in the theme, I just put it anywhere in it. (In fact under . Is that ok?
At the moment I’ve got “error loading google buzz data” although I have already amended the Gmail Username without @gmail.com
Thanks for your help.
February 11, 2010
Can you check what you get on http://www.google.com/profiles/your_username ? When I try with your gmail username that you left here I getting error page.
February 11, 2010
Hello, and many thanks for your work.
I get the following, wherever I put the first line”" If it is in the “header” file, at the beginning. If it’s the header for a specific sidebar, it is shown at this point.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /homez.139/mysite/www/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-er/google-buzz-er.php on line 9
Do you know what is wrong from my side?
Many thanks
February 11, 2010
Which version on PHP server where your site is hosted ? You must have PHP5.
February 12, 2010
@Lazarevic Ivan thanks for my account demo, um, I’ll check my web hosing
thanks Lazarevic Ivan~
February 12, 2010
it’s good.
February 12, 2010
is there any way to load pictures included in shared posts? I share a lot of google reader stufff and pix are pretty fundamental here…
great work dude
February 12, 2010
one more IMPORTANT thing – it would be very nice, if buzz notes were included into rss feed of wordpress…
February 13, 2010
you have to have your google profile configured for this to work
go here to setup

I have “error loading google buzz data” too.
My username is “yvonnelin.net”, and I have set it without “@gmail.com”
Do you think it happened because of the “.” ?
February 13, 2010
@Yvonne:
i have a google username with “.” and the plugin works perfectly for me, so this is not the case. At least with my 2.9.1 wordpress version.
February 13, 2010
Oh~ I have traced the cause of the problem.
I didn’t save my profile URL.
Thank you!
February 13, 2010
another wp plugin: http://arpitshah.com/plugins/wp-google-buzz/
February 14, 2010
@eof
Unfortunately Google Buzz API doesn’t support shared images yet. Regarding your second suggestion, I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for sharing your ideas
February 14, 2010
A great plugin in a short period of time. I’m impressed.
If you’ll be continuing to work on this, one thought might be to add some more display options in the settings. I was able to manually change some of the font sizes and colors in the coding, along with the “title” displayed (having my name for the title seems redundant), but a lot of folks don’t have that ability. It’d also be nice not to have to redo those changes every time you upgrade the plugin (I’ve not redone them on my site since your last upgrade).
You wouldn’t need to go quite so far, but I’ve always really appreciated the customization of plugins like WPaudioplayer.
February 15, 2010
Great plugin and works a charm, it would be nice to expand the admin editing options for the plugin to include font colours for links and images.Looking forward to your next update.
February 15, 2010
I’m excited by the potential for this plugin for a ‘lifestream feed’ on my blog page. Try as I might, however (read all the comments above, deactivated then reactivated the plugin/widget etc.) I continue to get the error message: “error loading google buzz data” … frustrated! Any thoughts out there? Yes, my Google user name is correct, and has been inserted without the “@gmail.com”
Perhaps it’s another plug-in on my site causing the issue … though there is not the usual php error when this happens.
February 16, 2010
I’m having problems getting it to work,
My profile is fine, however no matter what I try, it gives the same old “Error getting data” message.
Thanks anyway!
February 16, 2010
Nice work! Can you import in this widget also some media from Buzz? Images and video, for example. Like here: http://fieldjournal.co.uk/?p=189 . Thanx.
February 16, 2010
@Michael Livingston @Bill Masson @Zhilinsky
Thanks for suggestions, guys. Some of them will be implemented in next release.
@Kate Foy @Jason
Check smurftech’s comment above, maybe that will help you.
February 16, 2010
Pretty awesome! I gave it a big spot up front on my blog!
I wish it were easier to customise though, I’m having some trouble with it right now. It’d be great if you could include some colour options and stuff like that in the settings page.
Great work though!
February 16, 2010
By the way, how come the code for it goes everywhere except ? I don’t think it really matters, but I was just curious.
(Wish I could edit posts.)
February 17, 2010
Great! Images import In version 1.3
Hm… Seems like import of links are not always working.
February 17, 2010
nice, thanks for this
February 17, 2010
Can you please address why the error is appearing – seems I’m not alone in my issues. Looks simple enough but it’s not.
Entered user name without gmail bit. How hard can this be?
Argh!!
February 17, 2010
OK, it’s all down to saving your profile on google buzz. Wow looking good once it does wok!! Cheers Sx
February 18, 2010
Thanks for doing this widget.
Any plans to make this work on WPMU? Doesn’t work yet cause WPMU doesn’t have the options.php in the wp-admin folder. Will just get a “Error! Options page not found.”
February 18, 2010
@ Lazarevic Ivan
All working on your 1.3 update!
However, when I post an image.. it only shows the text comment, and not the image itself.
Is this done on purpose, or is it a bug do you know?
Thanks again.
February 18, 2010
Apologies, I didn’t read the changelog
Ignore my retarded post.
February 18, 2010
man, everything was working fine till i upgraded to 1.3… now i keep getting, for each buzz:
Warning: GoogleBuzzEr_Start::gb_getData() [function.GoogleBuzzEr-Start-gb-getData]: Node no longer exists in s/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-er/google-buzz-er-content.php on line 95
what am i doing wrong? everything is set perfectly on the configuration… am i missing something? i have also removed the code that was previously in the HEAD… please help me!
February 18, 2010
Hi Again
Your buzz plugin is really cool but I keep getting:
Error loading Google Buzz data!
Can you help please?
Thanks
February 18, 2010
@deacon
Sorry, no plans for WPMU for now.
@maurizio
Can you please un-check Show Images and tell me if you still getting warning ?
@Jose
I test it with your gmail username and it works fine as you can see here http://test.96.rs/ . Did you enter your username without @gmail ?
February 18, 2010
Hi
Thanks for your answer.
I can see it works on your test page.
I did enter my username withouth @gmail from the beggining.
I keep getting Error loading Google Buzz data!
I’ll wait for your next upgrade…
Thanks again
February 19, 2010
Google Buzz can also be used to make money on the internet like halnnya Twitter and Facebook.
February 20, 2010
Hi Ivan
if i uncheck the “show images” option, then it works, but of course it doesn’t show the images… do you know why?
February 21, 2010
Error loading Google Buzz data!
my username “huangda1982”
February 22, 2010
@maurizio
You can see Google Buzz Er with your username on http://test.96.rs and it works OK. I’m not sure why you have a problem and is very hard to resolve if I can’t reproduce.
@huangda1982
Your account also works for me. I think that your host doesn’t support SimpleXML and you should check that with them.
February 22, 2010
@Lazarevic Ivan
you are right, my host doesn’t support SimpleXML, it doesn’t support get_file_contents and fopen as well.
i am using in this way,
==============================
//$xml = @simplexml_load_file($this->T_URL.$user.”/public/posted”);
$url = $this->T_URL.$user.”/public/posted”;
$curl = curl_init( $url );
ob_start(); // use output buffering so the contents don’t get sent directly to the browser
curl_exec( $curl ); // get the file
curl_close( $curl );
$data = @ob_get_contents(); // save the contents of the file into $file
ob_end_clean(); // turn output buffering back off
$xml = @simplexml_load_string($data);
==============================
and it is working for me now.
thank you, again, it is a good plugin.
February 22, 2010
damn.. i have also uninstalled the plugin and installed it back but i still get the same error… don’t know what to do!
February 22, 2010
this problem ooccurs when the username is changed. I have two usernames luizaqui and luizaquinodiniz
The first work fine while the second not work. The error message are >>
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/workadm/public_html/site/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-er/google-buzz-er-content.php on line 109
Warning: array_multisort() [function.array-multisort]: Argument #1 is expected to be an array or a sort flag in /home/workadm/public_html/site/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-er/google-buzz-er-content.php on line 113
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/workadm/public_html/site/wp-content/plugins/google-buzz-er/google-buzz-er-content.php on line 134
February 22, 2010
@huangda1982
That’s a good idea. I should use curl in case that simpleXML fail. That will be good feature for future release. Thanks.
@maurizio
I still can’t reproduce that error, but I’m trying…
@Luiz Aquino
It works for both. As I see on your site you’re using luizaquinodiniz. Probably the problem was because you didn’t have any Google Buzz post for that account. I should handle that and add appropriate message for that case in future.
February 24, 2010
Hey, it’s really nice work. I have a problem the time of the buzz message doesn’t seem to be right how can i make it right?
