Twitter - Moderately Critical - Access bypass - SA-CONTRIB-2015-146

This includes a wealth of improvements and bug fixes since the last release, totaling almost 100 issues fixed and almost 300 new patches written in the past six months, and is a recommended update for all sites. As always, test the update on a copy of the site to confirm there are no unexpected changes.

Notable changes include:

• Downloading tweets that contain emoji will no longer break the module.
• There now exists a notion of a Twitter account being considered "global". When writing tweets via the Twitter Post submodule, a user may select from either global accounts or authenticated ones that they themselves have added to the site. Users may also no longer publish from an account that is not publish which they do not own. There are new options permissions involved in this, it is highly recommended to verify the site's configuration after updating to ensure everything is still working as intended.
• Images embedded in tweets will now be displayed.
• A custom pane was added for Panels integration, for posting to Twitter when building a custom node_edit display.
• A new text filter was added that allows embedding tweets by simply pasting the full URL of a single tweet.
• Improved error handling when API calls fail.
• Many bug fixes.

Small release with a couple bug fixes:

• #1905324: Cannot add twitter account
• #1924808: Twitter accounts table is skewed

This release contains the following bug fixes:

This release may contain bugs and does not have an upgrade path yet.

Tweets and Twitter Accounts are entities and posting to Twitter is done through a custom field.

See #1895274: Turn tweets and twitter accounts into entities for more details.

Development snapshot for branch 7.x-6.x, where Entity and Field APIs are used.

Twitter accounts can be added from a user profile as they were before. They are also listed at the user profile summary page. See a few screenshots at http://drupal.org/node/1883866#comment-6965496. These are from Drupal 7, but the logic is the same.

The field twitter_account.added_by_uid has been renamed to the old name it had, twitter_account.uid.

New features

Added Web Intents to Follow, Retweet, Favorite or Reply tweets; plus a fancy listing as per the Developer Display Guidelines.

Fixed the upgrade path for people who already had 7.x-5.x installed or is coming from earlier versions. They will keep their already authenticated accounts listed at /admin/config/services/twitter.

Fixed #1876822: Twitter authentication page is not loaded when authenticating from overlay, which was related with a core issue with the Overlay module.

Development release for 7.x-5.x branch.

Reincorporated twitter.lib.php to the module so Libraries module is no longer required. This came up as a discussion at #1853794: Please consider restoring twitter.lib.php to the Twitter module.

This branch supports Twitter API 1.1, which requires OAuth for all requests and will replace Twitter API 1.0 since March 2013.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1

This release uses the new Twitter REST API version 1.1. The main difference between 1.0 (used by Twitter 7.x-3.0) is that all requests must be authenticated with OAuth.

Since March 2013 Twitter API 1.0 will be turned off so sites using Twitter 7.x-3.0 or earlier must upgrade in order to keep on interacting with Twitter. More details can be found at https://dev.twitter.com/blog/changes-coming-to-twitter-api.

This release includes better error handling and reporting when requesting or posting data to Twitter. Also a bug when authentication is cancelled at Twitter.com using Oauth was Fixed.

Here is the list of issues Fixed in the Issue Queue:

Summary

• On Twitter Signin, if the automatic creation of accounts was activated, created users could not change their password. A message has been added to indicate the temporary password with a link to edit the user account.
• The Tweets block was raising PHP warnings because on an inherited Views filter.
• Updated our Twitter REST library to support the upcoming API changes.
• Added a hook when tweets are saved.
• Tests now simulate the Twitter API instead of doing real calls.
• Filters for @usernames and #hashtags now generate links to new pages/tabs. Plus, there was an extra slash in these links.
• When a user logs in with Twitter, he is redirected to the page where he clicked the Sign in with Twitter button.
• A horrible bug in the logic caused that deleting a Twitter account from a user deleted all Twitter accounts in the site.
• Old password field removed. You need to run update.php so the update takes place.

Issues fixed:

• #1614494: Automatically created accounts cannot change their password
• Enabled #hashtags filter by default at Twitter views.
• #1367946: Unneded uid argument in Tweets block view generates PHP warnings
• #1569852: Update API to support 14th of May changes
• #1261704: Add a hook when Tweets are saved at hook_twitter_status_save()
• #1343474: Evaluate the use of a mock REST server to simulate communication with the Twitter API
• #1342672: (No OAuth) Simulate the addition of a Twitter account to a user
• #1414542: Open @usernames and #hastags in new windows
• #1307862: Fix twitter_post to work with drupal 7 node-api
• #1410090: Redirect user to original page after login

• twitter_actions review and small improvements:
  • Changed text area to type in screen_name by a select that lists configured ones.
  • Fixed a typo when alerting of OAuth not being set up yet.
• #1317196: Implement Actions and Rules integration for Drupal 7

• #1190746: Fatal Error with @link input filter
• #750156: Do not offer option to import tweets when import disabled sitewide
• Updated OAuth dependencies at README.txt

Many bug fixes:

Many bug fixes, mainly for twitter module. twitter_signin, twitter_post and twitter_actions are not completely stable yet.

Twitter accounts can be added to a user account, and tweets are successfully loaded on cron run. This has been tested with and without Open Auth module. Functional tests verify the non OAuth process.

A README.txt file has been added with basic information and links.

There are a handful of issues addressed in this release, but by far the most important is the changing of dependency on OAuth 2 to OAuth 3, which should greatly simplify the install process. Please be aware that your dependencies _will_ change with this update!
