Features
This module provides API integration with the Twitter microblogging service. Out of the box, it allows users to:
- Associate one or more Twitter accounts with their Drupal user account.
- List tweets in different ways thanks to Views.
- Post to their own Twitter account or a site-wide Twitter account whenever they create new content or based on Drupal Actions or Rules.
- Log in to your Drupal site via Twitter.
- Format twitter @usernames and #hashtags as links to Twitter.com.
- Search and post to Twitter via Drush commands.
- View embedded images media from tweets (not in 7.x-6.x branch yet).
OAuth
Twitter requires OAuth to connect with the Twitter API. Previous versions did not have this requirement but due to Twitter's API changing it is now required.
