Why was twitter integration taken out of blog module 4.0.1, it worked fine in 4.0.0?
How do we get it back?

@Joe



Any idea how the ConsumerKey/ConsumerKeySecret part of OAuth might be handled? We have the same issues with our own application. Seems the only way for us to go is to create this key and hardcode it into the module, which is not best practice for distributing a module. Could this be something that Dotnetnuke could publish to module developers. The relevant "how-to" bit in the TwitterVB api documentation is below. Basically you send the application key and secret when requesting an authentication and get back your OAuth Token. Definitely seems like this could be done in the core to populate the portal settings?



    Public ConsumerKey As String = "CONSUMERKEY"

    Public ConsumerKeySecret As String = "CONSUMERKEYSECRET"



    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim tw As New TwitterAPI

        If Request("oauth_token") Is Nothing Then

            '' Send the browser to Twitter, and send the URl of the page to come back to after authentication

            Response.Redirect(tw.GetAuthorizationLink(ConsumerKey, ConsumerKeySecret, "http://localhost/default.aspx"))

        Else

            '' Exchange the rquest token for an access token

            tw.GetAccessTokens(ConsumerKey, ConsumerKeySecret, Request("oauth_token"), Request("oauth_verifier"))

        End if

       ...

The removal of functionality was definitely a poor decision - and very disappointing. Why was this not mentioned in the release notes?. The ability to accommodate OATH for this module was definitely something you could have turned to the DNN community for help.

Please make wiser decisions in the future.
