I realize you are still in Dev so I certainly hope you won't be omitting this in final version. This module does not import or display the Twitter username (and link to same) of the @Twitter member who composed and submitted the tweet. Thus all retrieved Tweets appear to be submitted by anonymous or the system user for cron. Having to actually click the live link to go to Twitter to actually see who said the quote is .. an incomplete solution.

good idea... not ready for prime time
thx :)

I am using RSS feed of the twitter search to get the tweets. Twitter search feeds RSS is not providing the username who posted it. I did not get time to check how to find the username. I will add this issue to the release.

Hi Prajwala,

I pulled up a Twitter search feed in the W3.org feed validator and found that the twitter username of the submitter is in the < author > tag

Here is a sample where you can see me @foundonmars listed as the author of the first tweet (at least as of today July 16th, 2009)

Hope this helps as I would like to add your feature.

:)

Hi equinox,

At last I worked this week and storing the author information in the Activity stream item body. The body of the node will be link this

Prajwala: Tweet information.

This will take 24 hours to update on the development release.

Is there any way you could put the author in it's own column? We can get a lot more use out of the data if it's separate from the body of the node.

Perhaps you could not use the ActivityStream module as a base for you module. Then you would have more flexibility over what you stored.

I got this idea of storing username as separate column but I have to do lot of things, create new content type and store information in it. Presently I am using ActivityStream content type.

I can even do without using ActivityStream but this module is already listed on the home page of the ActivityStream module. Now I am thinking if I do not use ActivityStream at all I have to tell them to remove this module from the home page of ActivityStream module. What you said is correct I will have more flexibility, I will think about it.

Thanks

Let me know if you ever decide to port it to it's own module.
