Hi all,

The newest release of the Blog module, V4.0, includes a feature to allow users to tweet when they create or edit a blog post.  However, I can't seem to get it to work.  I've got the right username and password, but find an error in the event log, listed below.

Has anybody else tried this feature?  Did you have to do anything special to get it to work??

Thanks for any help.

Marty

I'm pretty sure this is due to Twitter's recent oAuth requirements and changes. I don't think the blog module supports the oAuth requirements, and thus will no longer work with twitter.

This confirms what I had just figured out - I'll await the update, albeit impatiently!

while you're in there, it would be nice to have an option for a single twitter account that all posts get tweeted to in addition to the per-author twitter account.  We have multiple bloggers on our site, and want people to be able to get all of the tweets in one place on our twitter page.

Thanks, and keep the good stuff coming!
