Use Oauth 3

Thank you, that fixed it for me too.

Yes, please fix this. oauth renamed the base module to oauth_common

Did you ever think about why the name changed? Because it might have been such a drastic rewrite of the module that the two versions are in no way compatible with each other? Using oauth_common instead of oauth doesn _not_ solve the dependency of the current twitter module and therefor it should _not_ be changed.

I've downloaded OAuth_common to try to solve the problem, but still twitter says that OAuth is missing. Where can I change the dependency?

Take a look at the project page for Twitter.module: http://drupal.org/project/twitter

Read: "this depends on Drupal's OAuth module version 6.x-2.02."

OAuth Common is not OAuth.module 6.x-2.02. OAuth Common 2.x is OAuth.module 3.x. Don't use OAuth 3.x until Twitter.module has been updated to support that version.

Please keep this thread open. We're all getting this error.

Where exactly do we change that dependency text to OAUTH from OAUTH_COMMON?
Seems easy enough if I just knew where it was.

** UPDATE

So, inside your twitter module, go inside each of the subfolders: twitter_actions, twitter_post, and twitter_signin, then open up the .INFO files. Change from OAUTH to OAUTH_COMMON for each one.

*** UPDATE

Still couldn't get this to work. Everytime you try and login to twitter through the Drupal user profile, it errors out with
Username/password incorrect.

***UPDATE

Reading @vox's post below and implementing.

***UPDATE

Fixed. Thanks Vox.

@GarryEgan: Lets try this again:

From http://drupal.org/project/twitter "Download and install drupal's OAuth module 6.x-2.02"

From http://drupal.org/project/oauth "Version 3.x is an entirely new module [...] Not compatible with older versions of the OAuth module."

The reason why OAuth 3.x is named "oauth_common" is in part due to its incompatability with OAuth 2.x - changing the name of the dependency doesn't fix that, it just ensures that you will for certain break your module.

Get it?

(Changed to a better status - this is a won't fix for sure - until Twitter.module adds support for OAuth 3.x the dependency can't be changed and there's also no reason to change it)

This thread is still relevant, even today.

If you do 'drush dl' & 'drush en', drush will attempt to get the latest recommended version 'oauth-6.x-3.0-beta4' of the 'oauth' dependency, which doesn't actually contain 'oauth' only 'oauth_common'.

As a result, drush ends up in an endless loop trying to download and enable 'oauth'.

So the way to do it, is to manually download oauth-6.x-2.02 and then do drush dl/en twitter.

I should add, that using oauth-6.x-3.0-beta4 and renaming the dependency entry in twitter_post's.info file to use oauth_common, partially works, but when you try using twitter-post's functionality, it simply doesn't work.

Hope that info can help someone!

Hopefully, twitter module will support the latest oauth, sooner rather than later.

Thanks.

I´m sorry, but after reading this post (because I´ve had the same problem), I can´t help but think that the status "won´t fix" isn´t accurate.
That tiny solution should be addressed and ported.
If you think I´m wrong I do apologize, and please change the status back. :)

This is a won't fix. You need to use oAuth 2.x.

Thanks for updating this status (correctly), however a new beta will be released soon supporting OAuth 3.

I red somewhere since oauth_common is deprecated the new Oauth 2.0 module should be used. It turns out it cannot be since Oauth 2 module name is oauth but the twitter module dependency is oauth_common. If you use the right version (oauth 3 - still in beta) it will work fine.
