@John,

Twitter removed the standard authentication method it provides and now only supports oAuth which ScheduledTweets currently doesn’t support.

tried everything and it al seems to work except for one thing…. i don’t see any new tweets appearing my twitter page. I even setup the cron jobs and everything…. and i set cron jobs all the time so it’s not that.

If anyone has updated this to use Oauth and is willing to share please let me know.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I was able to update this script to use oAuth? That would be the second of your free downloads that I provided a key upgrade to. Interesting… Need to find time to do this.

@Karl,

I’d love to update it but can’t find the time for that right now.

If any users update it, please let me know and I’ll be happy to update the files with the new ones.

Hello,

i like this software, but twitter has changed now to oauth only. Will you change the software also?

Best,
Karl

Umut,

Incidentally, you mention that there were some known problems. Are you aware of anything else that hasn’t been touched on in these comments?

Definitely three cheers for open source!

Umut,

Many thanks. I know the feeling all too well of not getting the last 5% done !

I had thought about this before but didn’t give it much attention. The $dayToUse = date(‘w’) + 1 (when == 0 ) isn’t right. You’re using 1-7 for Monday through Sunday, so that would theoretically duplicate Monday’s schedule twice.

Although, and I’m far too tired right now to delve into it, that’s not what happened. Instead, I noticed that after midnight on Saturday (thus, on Sunday) tweets began sending at the cron-job interval (in my case, 5 minutes) rather than at any interval listed in the ‘schedules’ table (all greater than 10 minutes).

I’ve changed:

=====
if (date(‘w’) == 0) {
$dayToUse = date(‘w’) + 1;
} else {
$dayToUse = date(‘w’);
}
=====

to:

=====
if (date(‘w’) == 0) {
$dayToUse= ’7′;
} else {
$dayToUse = date(‘w’);
}

=====

And now I’m going to get some much-needed sleep.

Best,

David
