Twitter Module

someone mentioned using a twitter module a few weeks ago.
I was curious if you can control what it grabs as text when it automatically posts to twitter and if you can control what URL is linked to it.
Thanks.

I am guessing you are referring to this twitter module: http://drupal.org/project/twitter. There was another, much simpler one, that I looked at about 6 months ago that just basically posted any page to twitter. It was a site wide configuration.

A brief look at http://drupal.org/project/twitter makes me think it doesn't look like you can control the text that is sent, and that the url that it is sent to (I am assuming you mean user url ie twitter.com/, not specific api url), is configured per user, to be the users twitter url as determined by their username.

On a side note, it is easy to add access to twitter with a small amout of coding using the twitter API from http://lab.arc90.com/2008/06/php_twitter_api_client.php. <plug class="shameless">There are examples of using this API in the tapatio module:  http://comms.hackbloc.org</plug>
