Hey MAS

Daft question but any images on what users should expect to see?

Do members also have to own a twitter account to have their posts tweeted? ( confused with the description slightly).

Suki:
No, the users do not have to have a twitter account,   this mod will post every new topic you specify in a twitter account you specify, many forums and site has a twitter account for forum/site purposes.

you wil need to create a twitter app for your twitter account where you wish to publish the topics in,  there's instruction on the mod's settings if you click the little help icon, to create a new twitter app follow this steps:


In order to use this mod, you have to create an app on twitter, first, go to: Client Applications page, sign in with your twitter username and password, click on Register a new application, fill out all the requested fields:
 -Application Name: this is important, whatever you put in here will appear on every tweet: via:myforum_name
 -Application URL: your forum url
 -Application Type: check the "Client" option
 - Default Access type: check the "Read & Write" option
 - Application Icon: the icon for the app, can be edited later.

 once you register your app, now you can see your Consumer key and Consumer secret.

 to get your token access, clik on "My acces Token" tab. you will get your auth token and oauth token secret do not reveal those.


The topic will not be posted in he user's account but rather in the account where you made the app.

Old Fossil:
