AutoTweet [support]

Hi, got this to work and it works great, so thx! But I have a question/request; is it possible to create/add som code so I can chose if I want to update twitter or not?

For example, this is what I mean (yeh.. photoshop):

Why? Because I sometimes have a whole serie of products that are the same, but just have different sizes. I dont want to work with product attributes, in our case thats not practical. So one update is actually enough and I dont want followers to leave me because of to many tweets :)

I'm having same issue as others:

Twitter could not be updated: 401 Unauthorized: Could not authenticate with OAuth.

I've done the reset process and verification 3 times. No success.

Also I'm having this warning:

URL was not shortened for Twitter: www.***.com was used instead. Reason: INVALID_LOGIN
Which was also mentioned by another person.

The AutoFB works perfectly but not this one.

May someone give us some light?

Is anybody currently having problems with this?

Hi ideasgirl,

If you created your bitly account using your twitter or facebook account i.e. (Upon going to bitly.com, if you signed up using twitter or facebook) what you'll have to do after account was created on bitly is click on the 'Advanced tab' from settings and look for "Legacy API Key If you already use a bitly API key to grant access to 3rd party applications, you can reset it here. Show legacy API key"
click on the 'Show legacy API key'
There you will find you true login and api key, and not that of your username e.g. @twitter_username.

Hope this helps anyone with that problem

Is it possible to add the product image to the rest of the info that posts at Twitter? I know you can upload images from your hard drive, but will a link code to the image work, as it does in auto Facebook?

Thanks,
Joanne

Couple questions:

Has anyone managed to get this mod to work on v1.5.1?
Hate to admit but I could not.

Why the use of a 3rd party to shorten URL?
Twitter has a built in link service**. A URL of any length will be altered to 20 characters**, even if the link itself is less than 20 characters long. Your character count will reflect this.

Why grant any service access to your accounts ...

Has anyone else noticed Twitter changed their API URLS?
None of the URLS in the twitteroauth.php matched my URLS in the twitter > my applications.

Just curious

Twitter just forced everyone on v1.0 of the API to use v1.1 (Looks like they started enforcing this today). You will need to switch the twitter library over to the new version to get this working. When I have time I will definitely update the script, however I don't know when that will be. See: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview

As for the 3rd party question, this mod predates twitter's adding of that feature. It used to be if you wanted a URL shortened you need a 3rd party service to do so.

Thank you for clarifying :smile:

Here are the API URLS

function accessTokenURL() { return 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token'; }
function authenticateURL() { return 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate'; }
function authorizeURL() { return 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize'; }
function requestTokenURL() { return 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token'; }

I have this working now, however I use my own code in update_products.php so I can choose too or not too send new product tweets, choose too include or exclude products price, choose too or not too send product update tweets and include hash tags.

I am new to twitter but I guess we all are or were at some point.

Where do those new codes go?? I'd love to fix this for myself if I could, so I don't have to wait :) Also, would there be any way of changing the code so that the picture would also be put in the post??

I am just doing a quick view of my files for they differ from autotweet3's

I have not tried to add an image.

Why would you want to - twitter is not a shopping cart, your website is. Give just enough to get your followers to click the link to your website to make the purchase.

ok changed the first line of code - but the 4 lines of code, is it just me, or is the 2nd set exactly the same as the first set that need to be changed? OK never mind, I just noticed the api's lol

if your talking about the twitter username and password at the bottom of the file they are null and void (not needed)

and you shouldn't have to update or reset the key and or secret in the /YOUR_ADMIN_FOLDER/includes/modules/update_product.php file

Has anyone suffered issues with autotweet the last few days? i havent changed anything but now its asking me to manually update twitter.. i can only assume twitter have changed something on their backend?

Hello. I am trying to integrate autotweet with autofacebook. I have autofacebook installed and working perfectly (thank you for this script!) but I am not able to get the integration of the two working. When I try and add something in my store it still just says that facebook was updated and no mention of twitter and no twitter post. So clearly the code I snipped out of update_product.php was not all that I needed or something. Please help.

I have updated all the consumer key & secret the new access taken key & secret, but I am still getting the following error at the top of my admin page.

How can I fix this problem?

Did you update the twitter api addresses? post #235
