Hi, I'm having problems getting the Twitter module to work on my installation on Drupal 6. I've installed the module, have enabled it, configured it and added my own twitter account under my account settings. I am the only account on the site and I'd like my updates to be available to people who visit the site but don't log in. I don't see anywhere under block administration where the Twitter block exists, nor can I see the twitter updates coming through on my site. Is there modules that Twitter depends on that maybe I don't have installed? Regards, Stuart.
Stuart, If your purpose is to show your Twitter posts on your web site, the simplest way of doing that is via Drupal core's Aggregator module. Every Twitter account has a public feed associated with it and you enter that feed address into the Aggregator module..

Hello Shai, Many thanks for your reply. I've set up the aggregator and it seems fine but what I'd like it to do is just show the most recent twitter update in a block on my right sidebar. If you go to my website at the moment www.stuartlawler.ie/ you'll see that the 'Feed aggregator' link appears in the navigation and if possible I don't want it there. I had configured the block to appear on my right hand sidebar but not sure if I've done something else wrong. Can you give me any more suggestions?

Stuart, Shai is referring to the core aggregator module. Once you enable it and the permissions, if you go to Content Management > News Aggregator > List you will read the following help message: "Thousands of sites (particularly news sites and weblogs) publish their latest headlines and/or stories in a machine-readable format so that other sites can easily link to them. This content is usually in the form of an RSS feed (which is an XML-based syndication standard). To display the feed or category in a block you must decide how many items to show by editing the feed or block and turning on the feed's block" Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar http://projectflowandtracker.com On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 2:59 AM, Stuart Lawler <stuart@stuartlawler.ie>wrote:

Maybe this is a stupid question, but did you make sure you ran cron? admin/reports/status/run-cron If you did and you have correctly configured your Twitter username on you user account, you should see all your Tweets in your Titter tab in your user account. Another was to display tweets and a lot more is using the activity stream module: http://drupal.org/project/activitystream You can also go to http://twitter.com/widgets and get the code you need to display recent Tweets and paste it in a block, you might however want to include the js in your theme if you're going to display tweets on every page.

I might be being over dramatic, but I wonder whether this issue is linked to the 'Twitpocalypse' that the Lullabot guys mention in their latest blog post...? http://www.lullabot.com/articles/drupocalypse-now-or-dangerous-integer-handl... Basically, the module won't import if the twitter id is greater than 2,147,483,647. This only affects 32-bit servers. Do you know whether your server is 32-bit?
