AutoTweet [support]

[jamielife]

Yeah, that was an error in the documentation;

all you need is:

$consumerKey = "Your twitter app consumer key"; //twitter app consumer key.
$consumerSecret = "Your twitter app consumer secret"; //twitter app consumer secret.
$oauthToken = "Your my access oauth token"; //twitter app "my access" token
$oauthTokenSecret = "Your my access oauth token secret"; //twitter app "my access" token secret.

for twitter to work.

Just ignore the username and password stuff.

This all sounds far too complicated for me. Can anyone tell me what files I need to change to remove the OLD Autotweet facility and go back to the PRE Autotweet days.

Cannot remember what files I altered, possibly I did keep a copy of the original files before adding in any changes.

just upload your original update_product.php file to admin/includes/modules/

then delete the twitter folder.

Just installed autoTweet 3.0 in one store (1.3.9f) and it works perfectly.

Then went to do the same in another store, also 1.3.9f (different token, URL etc of course) and I am getting

Error Twitter could not be updated: 401 Unauthorized: Read-only application cannot POST
To paste the code into twitter yourself use:
New product available: Test Product - please ignore! Check it out now at http://bit.ly/ahbPVY

Double checked that I pasted the various codes ok: all good.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong?

TIA

When you set up the twitter ap you set it as a read only application. There is a setting there if memeory serves me you need to change.

[PatF]

In your application settings at dev.twitter.com check the defautl access type isn't set to read only.

That's what I looked at in first place. But - it is set as Read / Write, just as in the other shop which works fine.

That error message is twitter saying your app does not have permission to write to twitter. Maybe something went wrong with the app at twitter. Have you tried creating a new one to see if error is replicated ??

^I agree

You'll need to re-authorize the app. The credentials are generated based on the type of app and were probably generated for the read only app, and not the read/write app. Some kind of security safe gaurd on twitter's end.

Anyway creating a new one will probably fix this issue.

Thanks Jamie, that confirms my line of thinking. I will do just that after work tonight.
