I want to be able to import my tweets from twitter into Drupal as Nndes. I want to be able to link @names
and #tags
back to the correct pages. I also don't want myTweeterName to appear at the start of the tweet.
How would you go about doing this? The twitter module does not create nodes but stores data in its own table. The feed module can read in the tweets from the RSS feed as nodes, but will display my name and not link @names
and #tags
.
The following post by Gábor shows how he has done it but I am not sure how he has written a custom module to do this.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Gabor is using the Feeds module along with the input filter from the twitter module.
From his post:
You'll need to start importing your tweets using the feeds module. Then you'll need to add the input formats from the Twitter module to your default import (probably "Filtered HTML").
This is not possible any more, as Twitter does not export the user timeline as an RSS feed
