I can't seem to get this working. I've found no documentation whatoever either here or in my help or advanced help. I install OAuth and Twitter. I am testing on my localhost. I registered the callback to http://17.0.0.1:8000/twitter_callback. I have no idea if that is literal or if I was supposed to substitute something else for the words "twitter_callback". I got my secret codes. I go to Admin/Configuration/Twitter. I can see my callback there as http://localhost/drupal2/twitter/oauth. So no idea if there is a problem because the two links are different. I don't see any other options on that page like the one to "post tweets". I try to navigate to /post as a topic here mentioned, but there is no such link.

All I want to do right now is put a block of the last few tweets on my page. I want to use my organizations tweet account, so it won't be from a user account. How do I set things up? I was thinking there would be a "general account". I went to the Admin user screen and saw that there was a button for "Twitter", but when I click on it it just seems to be about holding tweets. I have an "authorization" tab and it talks about "authorizations" and "consumers". How do I enter my twitter account information and get the tweets and put them in a block and display it?

Sorry to be unhelpful, but there's currently no work going on in the 7.x branch. Once 6.x is more stable, the changes there will be ported, but I don't have a timeline for this.

Pretty sad state of affairs that 6 months on, half the modules here don't work in D7. Oh well. But I thought this one did to some extent. Does it work or not? There is a port that someone put up and that is what I'm using. So my issue isn't that it doesn't work, I have no idea because I can't figure out how it is supposed to be configured. Honestly, I have no idea how anyone can get the D6 version to work because this is a very complicated setup and there seems to be no documentation whatsoever, unless I've missed it.

What I am looking for if you can point me in the right direction is a step by step list, as would be in any help file of how you go into the twitter account to get what you need, how you setup OAuth and what you do with those codes, and then how you integrate that into the Twitter module to enable it to start showing the feeds in a block. I think there are people doing this in the D7 version, but perhaps I am wrong. If I even had instructions for the D6 version before it didn't need OAuth, I might be able to figure it out from there.

I put this in for my callback and registered it, http://localhost/drupal/twitter/oauth I put in the code and secret. Now what? There is no new content types or blocks or anything indicating how I get the data to display somewhere.

Hi,

There is a module called Twitter Pull (http://drupal.org/project/twitter_pull) which should do what you are asking for.
It pulls the latest tweets from a feed and allows them to be displayed in a block.
Although I agree about the state of D7 which is a bit of a shame considering the D7 pledge thing which gave confidence in it moving forward, but dems the chips.
D7 is a bit of a Vista at the moment.

Please refer to this doc page where it is explained how to create a twitter block in Drupal 7 using Twitter and Views modules.

flightrisk, you do not need Open Auth authentication to list tweets. Disable the module and add the account. Then run cron to load the tweets. The tutorial I provided in the previous comment will help you to create the tweets block.

Marking it as fixed. Reopen if you see any issue.
