 I have one question.
define("BO_TWITTER_NAME",             ''); my Twiiter name or name of aplication?
Thanks
It's the twitter account name. As far as I remember this is just for description on the alert page, because the user has to follow this account to receive the messages.
I put twitter name but no menu on alert page and messages on TwitterSad
Just for sure, the receiver on twitter gets no PM or do you hope to get a public message?

Hi,
What does it mean PM? How create alarm on twitter. I have mail alarm only. I created Twitter aplication and copy keys to config.php. What next?
I don't have any experience with Twitter API.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this tool is only able to send an PM (Private Message) to an other user when the receiver is follow the Twitter account where you have create the Twitter API APP.
So it's not possible to send an Public Twitter message when there is an alert.

Maybe you must take an look at the solution from Clément ->  Lightning alter on twitter

Make email alerts first, then use www.ifttt.com to send it to twitter.
