Ajax Scroller - Retweets
« on: 03 August 2011, 21:01 »
Hi, I've succesfully installed and configured an AC module for twitter, but it only shows the tweets I personally made, not the retweets. How can I show them? Looking at the code, it seems that the module is almost ready to do that. It even has the code access the twitter api, but there aren't any options to do so.

I think Twitter API doesn't support re-tweets.

It does, but you have to authenticate via Oauth first or other similar method...

OK, right. I removed all options that require password since Twitter disabled basic authentication.

To use OAuth one would have to register an application with Twitter to get 4 different keys which is too complicated for end user.

After all AJAX Scroller is not an exclusive Twitter module to support all its options, it's more versatile than that.
