I have two questions. I installed this module and filled out the site wide account because many people will be using the same twitter account at my site. I made some twitter posts and ran cron, like 5 times and nothing would import. Then I looked at my account and entered my twitter info there and then it imported all the twitter posts I had made.. So, by adding my account info in my account section did i end up by passing and nullifying the group account? Or can others still use the group account and have the twitter page list their twitters?

My second question is, what could cause my 'user tweets' block to be empty even though, clearly, I have posted.....

Thanks for any info
Becky

I'm just starting to use the Twitter module as well and I've run into the same issues. Here is what I've found so far...

* The global twitter account is only for posting actions performed in Drupal to your Twitter account, but it will not import any tweets for the global user.
* The "user tweets" block only displays tweets on profile pages

Can someone with more experience with the module confirm or correct those statements? Also, I've looked at the code for the tweet import and it looks like it was never designed to import tweets made by the global twitter user. Is there a reason behind why the global twitter account doesn't import tweets?

Thanks for the help there. I disabled the user tweets block and found out that the tweets on the profile stay put for me though...

I am interested in a block (or twitter import / views integration) for the global account as well.

I think you can create a global account block by having one of the users add the "global" account as a "personal" one. Then create a view that displays a block of only the tweets made by the global account.

Interesting. I'll try this out. Unfortunately now, my boss wants each blog to have a block displaying that blogger's tweets and I have no idea how to go about this. I don't know php that well, so I'm not sure what kind of code I need to put in the view.....

Any suggestions?

if you're using the blog module which has the user id in the url, i think you should be able to use that as an argument in the view. (untested)
