How to automatically tweet when a new article added to Joomla

Question

I have a free wordpress blog which automatically tweets my new article through my twitter account which I have no idea how wordpress does it. I want to do the same thing on Joomla 3.2.3 platform.

What I want to do is when I add a new article into a specific category, I want Joomla to tweet the article's url automatically.

What I have tried is to search for a couple of components doing this. But I am stucked at API/Key-API/Secret validation. The component (AutoTweetNG) needs tweeter API to have read and write level. So I have many web sites to apply this application. In order to have read and write rights twitter asks me to enter mobile phone number in the profile page.

I have decided to make this by hard coding. Is there any oppurtunity to achieve this? It looks it is gonna be a little robot things, and twitter does not let me.

At least it would be great if thic could be done using PHP only.

Answer 1

Try this,

You can achieve it using two things in Joomla, One is create a twitter Oauth APP also create a content plugin for auto tweet.

First you have to create an app with twitter just follow the link . Then Create a Joomla content plugin with onContentAfterSave event.

Then Once you create an article it will automatically tweets.

Hope its helps..
