Hi, Does anyone know of any projects (compatible with Version 7.1.4) that will enable a tweet to be automatically sent when a blog post is published? Alternatively any tutorials for dummies that might show how to do this using ContentService Events?
There is no package available at the moment. But you can hook into the content service event and then use a library like Tweetsharp (https://github.com/danielcrenna/tweetsharp)
It's been a while since your post, but in case you still need any info: uShare would be a package that you might want to check out. The package can be downloaded here or you can look at the source here. It supports Umbraco 7.1.4 and allows you to post a tweet from the backend for a page under a Twitter account. It does not do it automatically from the publish event out of the box since this might not always be required (e.g. if you republish a page), however you should be able to amend the source to do this if required. Alternatively, the source code might serve as a tutorial if you want to do your own version (e.g. using TweetSharp, OAuth etc.) Give me a shout if you need any further help with the OAuth stuff which can sometimes be a bit tricky getting your head around all of it at first.
