[edit] - Bit.ly credentials in Twitter form plugin

[Intelartifice]

Hello,
I'm using Twitter form plugin and I don't find what I need to fill in the field of plugin conf.
There are two fields : login and APIKEY

On bit.ly I have something different with :
Access TOKEN -> it doesn't work
And couple of : client ID and CLient secret and it doesn't work too

Someone has already achieve this ?
Other question: Why the plugin still limit to 140 characters ?

If someone has an idea
Jean-Marc

Ok I think I've found how to set 280 characters in twitter.php
I hope it's this -> NOPE still 140 characters.
But still fail with bit.ly

Did you look this one up in the Wiki: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/twitter-form-plugin/
There is quite a bit explained, obviously. You see, bit.ly is optional, but as if the other credentials, if you want or need it but it doesn't work, then not sure why as I don't use it.
Possible reasons for anything in the plugin not working:
- The plugin is old and has sure not been maintained since a long time.
- Twitter and/or bit.ly might have changed their APIs since.

As for the 140 chars limit:
Again, the plugin is old. If you want to change the limit, look up and possibly edit the file /plugins/fabrik_form/twitter/twitter.php around line 53.
Also note the comment around line 401 regarding this...

Thx
OK for bit.ly it's not a big deal, I can understand.

For the max lenght of the message it's what I did but my message is still set on 140 characters on line 53.
I've just pass the variable to false. Now It's OK.
My tweet will never have more than 200 characters.

Thanks again
