Plugin(s) for automatically posting new articles to Twitter?

Is there a plugin that currently works for posting new articles to Twitter? I didn’t see anything recent on textpattern.org or searching the forums. Not looking to embed links to let visitors post to Twitter, but actually post on first save as “live” in certain sections, also at publish time, if it’s in the future.

Perhaps arc_twitter?

I’ll take a look at arc_twitter again. I originally ruled it out as it hasn’t been updated since 2014 and the last feedback/issues were from 2013 (going un-answered). It also doesn’t seem to use OAuth (which I thought the Twitter API required at this point, plus means you’re storing & submitting your Twitter username & password).

Hi Morgan

The plugin is used in textpattern.tips on a 4.6 beta install and works just fine.

@colak Thanks for the confirmation.

@planeth That’s a great, easy alternative I hadn’t considered! Especially helpful since arc_twitter can’t post future publishings.

@Delarno This being a Textpattern forum, I’m obviously looking for Textpattern solutions.

lol. First and only post, likely, and it’s pushing WordPress.

Morgant,

I’m not sure on the status of pat_article_social, but maybe.

IFTTT is probably the cleanest way. Would be nice to know how you set that up, if you do.
