-____ StatusNet Plugin ____
-by Tobias Diekershoff
- tobias.diekershoff(at)gmx.net
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-!! This addon is currently under development. If you have any problem !!
-!! with it, please contact the Author. !!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-With this addon to Friendika you can give your user the possibility to post
-their public messages to any StatusNet instance (like identi.ca for example).
-The messages will be strapped their rich context and shortened to to the character
-limit of the StatusNet instance in question if necessary. If shortening of the
-message was performed a link will be added to the notice pointing to the
-original message on your server.
-
-There is a similar plugin to forward public messages to Twitter: Twitter Plugin.
-
-Online version of this document: http://ur1.ca/35mpb
-
-___ Requirements ___
-
-Due to the distributed nature of the StatusNet network, each user who wishes to
-forward public messages to a StatusNet account has to get the OAuth credentials
-for themselves, which makes this addon a little bit more user unfriendly than
-the Twitter Plugin is. Nothing too geeky though!
-
-The inclusion of a shorturl for the original posting in cases when the message
-was longer than the maximal allowed notice length requires it, that you have
-PHP5+ and curl on your server.
-Where to find
-
-In the Friendika git repository /addon/statusnet/, this directory contains all
-required PHP files (including the Twitter OAuth library [1] by Abraham Williams,
-MIT licensed and the Slinky library [2] by Beau Lebens, BSD license), a CSS file
-for styling of the user configuration and an image to Sign in with StatusNet.

-
-___ Configuration ___
-
-__ Global Configuration __
-
-To activate this addon add statusnet to the list of active addons in your
-.htconfig.php file
- $a->config['system']['addon'] = "statusnet, ...".
-
-__ User Configuration __
-
-When the addon is activated the user has to aquire three things in order to
-connect to the StatusNet account of choice.
- * the base URL for the StatusNet API, for identi.ca this is
- https://identi.ca/api/
- * OAuth Consumer key & secret
-
-To get the OAuth Consumer key pair the user has to (a) ask her Friendika admin
-if a pair already exists or (b) has to register the Friendika server as a
-client application on the StatusNet server. This can be done from the account
-settings under "Connect -> Connections -> Register an OAuth client application
--> Register a new application".
-
-During the registration of the OAuth client remember the following:
- * there is no callback url
- * register a desktop client
- * with read & write access
- * the Source URL should be the URL of your Friendika server
-
-After the required credentials for the application are stored in the
-configuration you have to actually connect your Friendika account with
-StatusNet. To do so follow the Sign in with StatusNet button, allow the access
-and copy the security code into the plugin configuration. Friendika will then
-try to acquire the final OAuth credentials from the API, if successful the
-plugin settings will allow you to select to post your public messages to your
-StatusNet account.
