Hi there,

We are looking for possible way to import Twitter or Facebook feeds and create blogs automatically. I couldn't find this in EB. Do you have this feature in current EB version or are you planning to provide it in future?
Hey Niranjan,

Currently Easyblog allows you to import Twitter posts into your site and convert these posts as blog post. To set it up, you can follow the step below.

STEP 1 :
First you will need to create an app on Twitter. To create an app you can follow the documentation here, http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/autoposting/setting-up-twitter-autoposting

STEP 2 :
Once you have created your app, you need to login on the frontend and link your Twitter account by following the guide here,
http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/autoposting/setting-up-twitter-autoposting-for-author

STEP 3 :
Then you need to configure which hash tag that Easyblog should search for in the settings as shown in my screenshot here,

Hi Arlex,

The solution you provided is to get feeds from user's Twitter account. Here user needs to authenticate his Twitter account.
Is there a way we can import Twitter feeds from any account, same as RSS feeds?

Hi Niranjan,

Unfortunately that was not possible at this point of time.

Hi Arlex,

This feature can be used for Facebook feeds or any other social site feeds.
Are you planning to provide it in future releases?

Hello Niranjan.

To be honest, I can't give you an answer right now. Perhaps if you can submit your feature requests for it at http://stackideas.com/voices/easyblog and let people vote for it?
