Twitter push for The wire v1.1
Release Notes
This is a simple plugin that provides the ability to push public messages from The Wire to Twitter.
It is the same one that is currently used on the community site.
Only public Wire messages are pushed.
Twitter recently made changes to their API. This version contains a very minor tweak to David Grudl's twitter class which lets it talk to twitter without generating a 417 error response.

Ok I read the comments and got it working from The wire to Twitter so I'm halfway done....
Hi guys , have a Q..
Can i add the option when posting on the wire if i want to post on twitter. Right now when turning the service on, all post goes to the wire and twitter. I want the option to choose while typing the post. How can i achieve this ( a check box with the option for posting on twitter)
This works great. At the moment however, the posts on twitter list their origin as API. It would be good to be able to register an Elgg site as a Twitter application, and have the site's name with url show up instead.
This can be done, but it will require implementing OAuth in the Twitter service plugin, including taking OAuth parameters in the Admin settings that the website admin could obtain from twitter by registering their site using this form: http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new
See also 'How do I get “from [MyApp]” appended to updates sent from my API application?' in the FAQ: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/FAQ
For OAuth see: http://oauth.net/
This plugin really needs that OAuth origin thing as Anton has suggested.
Hi, Sometimes my TheWire posts go to twitter, sometimes they dont, is there a reason for this??
............ sorry, I forgot to mention, im using the plugin that was bundled with elgg when i installed it. Is that the same as this plugin ???
Is there a way to only send some 'the wire' posts to Twitter?
Perhaps a check box when you post in 'the wire' that says "Send to Twitter" or something of that nature? It would be useful, as not all internal elgg content we want pushed public.
@Alex - This is an extremely outdated plugin. 1.8 bundles Twitter integration. Use that plugin instead. To answer the question, it's possible to do what you say, but it would require custom code. Feel free to open a new thread on forums for this question.
