Hi,

When creating a user in my site user can't be authenticated with his twitter account. I'm getting the following error message.

"Twitter authentication failed. Please check your account name and try again.",

Thanks,
Unnikrishnan.

The problem has simple reason

OAuth is the Twitter preferred method of authentication moving forward - come August 2010, we'll be turning off Basic Auth from the API.

From twitter wiki.

Will try oauth module

Could some1 please just go straight and clearly describe what to do by steps if i need just a global account that every user could post to our twitter account with desired node updates. We've got no problems before but now it's showing "Twitter authentication failed. Please check your account name and try again." when try to edit Twitter account under "id 1" user options. Therefore Twitter posting is not working =(((

ea1thy, you need to install Oauth 6.x-2.02 and upgrade to Twitter 6.x-3.0-beta2. After that you're going to have to reconfigure things a little bit. The comment above yours links to good details on that, this one also contains some details:

Druplicate of #404470: Authenticate Twitter_Actions.module via OAuth.module 2.x instead of Basic Auth as pointed out by a couple of comments above.

Delicious Creative Thanks a lot! But it's not available because of "Depends on: Autoload (missing), Inputstream (missing), Ctools (missing)" - should i install these modules too or what are those dependencies?
