Hi Twit Header, Im not sure if will help you but on this page you can create a custom twit button. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button

I will use it on my web page, but it is not what I really need.

I need the “via @My_site” and put a message on it too and what I’m finding is that this solution not support this parameters.

Regards

The steps you need to accomplish are:

1. register an API key
2. negotiate an access token for the end user by walking them through the oauth process
3. once you have the access token, actually upload the image on their behalf to account/update_profile_banner

I recommend using tmhOAuth if you’re a PHP programmer, as it handles the OAuth pretty simply.

dont suppose there is any generators to input my details to creat a button is there??

No, the Tweet Button won’t help you create a service that authorizes an end user and then uploads a profile banner on their behalf.

Creating a service like this will require a bit of work. Is there a programming language that you prefer over others? You will need to do some server-side programming to accomplish this no matter what. You’ll need to learn how to perform the OAuth token negotiation “dance” and then you’ll need to learn to perform a multipart POST to upload the image on behalf of the user. More on: [node:3240].

The “button” part of this is the simplest part of it all but also the last thing you need to figure out how to accomplish.
