Hello,
Before getting a head of ourselves I am posting this here.
Posted at: http://drupal.org/node/702984
I am not here to cut up the twitter module or bring it down. We use it and it works well for multi-user sites.
We have found the Twitter module way to heavy for a basic sites with one user or only one twitter account.
What we ended up doing was dropping some custom php code into a block and got a way faster alternative.
So we have been working on a Simple Twitter module.
It only stores your Twitter Username and Password in the Variables table.
If you do not provide your password it will only pull your tweets.
Provides a block of tweets.
There could be some other basic features but we want to keep it neat. For lots of features we would use the Twitter Module.
It is a small module but works well.
I am asking if there is a requirement to post this module on Drupal.org or this can be added into the main Twitter Module as a sub module.
If this was to be added to the Twitter Module and used the Twitter_api module, could this module bypass alot of the code an database queries to keep this module lean?
The whole reasoning is to keep this lean and for one Twitter Account. It has a very easy setup and is intuitive.
Here is a link to the module we created: http://drupal.org/files/issues/simple_tweet-6.x-1.0-dev.tar_.gz
Thank you for your time and feedback.
sincerely,
