Description
hi, from France :)
i can't run DailyTwitter on my D6.9.
i don't see new blog entry (my blog with my admin account, filtered html, with admin twitter account, allow_url_fopen ok) after 24 hours.
i use taxonomy (tags + categories) in my blog post.
i use Porrmanscron module to run it (for cron tasks) : is it possible to use it with DailyTwitter module ?
so, what's my problem ? Any idea ?
Thanks

I have the same issue.

Hi folk! Sorry for the delay, things have been a tad nuts...
So first off, off the top of my head I don't know what would be causing this --- if you run cron by hand do you get any output that tells you anything?
I also don't know what Porrmanscron is --- would you mind telling me a bit about it?

Poormanscron is a module that runs cron when a website page request is made. That way if you're on a server that doesn't let you work with cron or if you just don't want to deal with cron and the accuracy of your jobs' execution time isn't critical cron will still run jobs.
Some modules have issues with poormanscron I think, I don't know enough to know why, it also isn't friendly with heavy caching.
I have a site Drupal 6.8, poormanscron and DailyTwitter, they work fine together.

DailyTwitter doesnt seem to work with sites with crons running every 5-10 minutes and/or with power-twitterers using twitter apps.

You just running around posting followups on every issue in the issue tracker? Read my response...

For poormanscron, hunterjones, are you administrator and logged in most of the time? I'm wondering if poormanscron runs as the user who is logged in, whereas the regular cron job runs as a core admin account.

I understand how poormanscron works now -- I haven't checked to see if it's fixed yet though so stay tuned!

I have recently installed dailytweet to test it out, and funnily it just does not work - cron keep giving "Cron run exceeded the time limit and was aborted." message in log, and only by turning dailytweet off then cron runs normal again.
i am using poormanscron too.
thank you.

Using regular cron that runs every 2 hours, I just can't this thing to work... does nothing after 3 days now. It's activiated and account name was given...
