Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Initial beta of the new 3.x version of twitter. New features include:
* OAuth API support (suggested dependency on oauth.module)
* Sign in with twitter support (if OAuth is available)
* Cleanly separated library - for those building new twitter apps/modules on top of twitter module
* Node announcing features broken out into their own module
A cleaner fix for the data type issue with twitter ids. We now store status IDs and twitter user ids as NUMERIC fields instead of STRINGS. This isn't awesome, but it works for now. We'll probably change this again in the future we feel cheeky.
Added support for the Twitter in-reply-to fields for incoming statuses. It's now possible to build views of 'original' tweets or 'reply' tweets by filtering on the reply fields, as well. Note that only FRESHLY imported statuses will have the reply data.
Twitter's status IDs are hitting the signed int rollover point -- Twitter module 2.4 is an emergency schema update that converts twitter_id into an unsigned bigint.
If you're only using the Twitter module to publish your own tweets, this update is unnecessary. If you're importing statuses, however, you'll likely run into problems shortly unless this version is installed.
Apologies for the quick 2.2 release: This release fixes a bug that caused TinyURL.com to be pinged unnecessarily, even if no twitter message was being posted or no !tinyurl was being used in the message.
Since the bug caused unecessary remote web service calls and would burn through finite link IDs on TinyURL.com's server, a quick release was pushed out to fix it. Thanks for your patience, everyone!
