The AutoTweet product series posts the title and url for new Joomla articles, forum posts etc. automatically as status messages to twitter and/or Facebook (pro version). AutoTweet NG consists of a (main) component and several plugins. The Pro version adds support for Facebook and has some extra features. All available plugins are working with the free and the Pro version. All AutoTweet extensions are under GPL 2.0.

Features

• All plugins are customizable: account, category/section to post for, link position, show section/category, post private articles, post modified articles, exclude sections/categories, use title or text for message, additional static text (e.g. for hashtags), short url service provider (is.gd, bit.ly) etc.
• Works with most SEF extensions. Tested with: sh404sef, JoomSEF, AceSEF and - of course - Joomla! embedded SEF support.
• Automatic support for short URLs.
• Automatic message resending: AutoTweet resends the status message automatically if there is an error on api/server side.
• AutoTweet posts also later published or republished articles.
• AutoTweet NG comes with a backend component. The component logs all posted messages and you can manage and resend this messages in the components backend.
• AutoTweet NG supports articles with present publish date. (This articles are posted automatically when published by Joomla.)

Changes/News in new major releases AutoTweet NG Pro 2.0 / Free 3.0

• New handling for messages and URL: All messages are now queued and posted later by the Automator-Plugin. So the Automator-Plugin MUST be installed and enabled (and you need a little bit traffic on your site to trigger the plugin)! After posting, the messages are stored in a message log and you can repost or approve them. Also messages with state error are stored in the log. This solution is more failsave and should work with all SEF extensions without extra work. Also it is no longer a problem to save the message posts for a long time in the log.
• "Manually mode": Now AutoTweet has an autopublish feature. For each channel and plugin you can select if the messages should be autopublished or approved before sending. This feature is now also available for the free version.
• Notification messages: As suggested by many users, the success messages are now only showed when debug mode is enabled.
• Pro version: New multichannel architecture: Now you can add new channels and so you can post to multiple Twitter and Facebook accounts. Also you can post to a Facebook profile, page and group for the same account.
• Pro version: Use your own app/api key to show your own branding instead the AutoTweet logo/text: As requested by some users you can now also use your own app/api key instead the AutoTweet standard app (works for Twitter and Facebook).
• Pro version: The AutoTweet Latest module is now seperated in two modules. One for selecting the publish mode for each channel and one to show the actual jobs in the queue or the latest posts.
• Free version: Now with full SEF support (also when article is saved in backend).
• Free version: Support for Twitter OAuth.
• Some minor changes: see release notes / change log on download page
