My twitter add-on no longer works. Is this the result of the change to OAuth by the good folks at Twitter? Do we have any options?

Hi,

It looks like the plugin will have to be modified to use the new OAuth libraries. The plugin will have to be re-released once this is done.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I just added the post to Twitter plugin, I'm rrunning;
CMS Builder 2.06
Twitter 2.03

I get the following error:

Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/vhosts/catskillsrealestateguide.com/httpdocs/cmsadmin/plugins/access_data.dat.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/catskillsrealestateguide.com/httpdocs/cmsadmin/lib/common.php on line 119 Error writing to '/var/www/vhosts/catskillsrealestateguide.com/httpdocs/cmsadmin/plugins/access_data.dat.php'! failed to open stream: Permission denied

I cant even locate a /plugins/access_data.dat.php

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,

It is possible to modify the link attached to the post on Twitter (via ...) ?
Currently, the plugin indicates [url "http://example.com/"]http://example.com/[/#0000ff][/url]

It would be also interesting to be able to modify the name of the application.

Thanks for your suggestions !

Hi Djulia,

To have your feed display a customized "via ..." name and link, you'll need to create your own Twitter Application:

[url http://dev.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fapps%2Fnew]http://dev.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fapps%2Fnew[/url]

Application Name: this is the name that will appear on your twitter feed
Application Description: 10 character minimum, I don't think this displays anywhere.
Application Website: this is the link that will appear on your twitter feed
Application Type: Browser
Callback URL: http://example.com/
Default Access type: Read & Write

After you create your application, you'll be redirected to its details page — here you'll find your application's "Consumer key" and "Consumer secret". Copy-and-paste these into your Twitter Post plugin (cmsAdmin/plugins/twitterPost/twitterPost.php):

$GLOBALS['TWITTERPOST_CONSUMER_SECRET'] = "paste your consumer secret here";
$GLOBALS['TWITTERPOST_CONSUMER_KEY'] = "paste your consumer key here";

Now login to CMS Builder and go to Admin > Plugins. You'll need to "Authorize" the Twitter Post plugin with this new information.

All future posts will display your customized application name and link.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris
