I installed the module and configured twitter settings in my user account. I then created content and posted it. Nothing happened. No indication on page that anything had gone to Twitter. Nothing posted to Twitter. Are only certain types of content posted. Is it posted regardless of whether it is tagged "unpublished" or "published"? Only posted if it is "published"?

I would read the documentation but... oh yeah... there isn't any. Can you help?

Thanks

Mine was the same, Make sure you configure permissions?

I'm having the same problem... but there are no permissions for the twitter module in D5. Am I missing something? there's no hook_perm? where did you guys find permissions to change?

i dont get it webchick. if there is no documentation and we can't make the module work,
how can we write the documentation.

there have to be a minimum of parameters for acceptance of a module. i don't care if walkah
made this module. if he didn't document how to install and configure the module, he shouldnt
get to have his module appear on Drupal.org. Period.

am finding way too many modules of well known Drupal people w/o documentation. it's getting
really out of control and tiring to have to deal with their half-ass work.

am not talking here about writing a book for the modules. am talking about a modicum of documentation
that will allow the end-user ---web site architects or builders such as myself-- to install and configure the
module.

if they don't want to do that, then please, have them host the modules on their own sites until they comply.

Same problem.

Anything going on with this issue? The module just doesn't work with D5 right now and hard to figure out to correct this issue with little information on the permissions needed.

Finally worked this out, and will post the docs up soon.

You need to patch the module with the user access patch http://drupal.org/node/610758 before it will actually work.#

I'm also playing with the mod so you can choose which content types get posted. so far thats just by editing the .module file.... a proper admin interface would be nicer, but is beyond me.

I have enclosed a patched version of the twitter.module which works, provided your twitter username and log in details are correct.

@medden: thanks for your work on this! But what version of the module is the patch against? The patch does not correspond to the version of the module that I have.

Drupal 5 is not maintenance any more, If this issue occurs in any version for Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 reopen this issue.
