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 Twitter. The messages will be strapped their rich -context and shortened to 140 characters length if necessary. If shortening of -the message was performed a link will be added to the Tweet pointing to the -original message on your server. - -There is a similar addon for forwarding public messages to -"StatusNet":http://status.net [[StatusNet Plugin]]. - -Online version of this document: http://ur1.ca/35mml - -___ Requirements ___ - -To use this plugin you have to register your Friendika instance as an -_client application_ for Twitter with _read and write_ access, we do not intend -to use Twitter for login. The registration can be done at twitter.com/apps -and you need to have a Twitter account to do so. - -After you registered the application you get an OAuth consumer key / secret -pair that identifies your app, you will need them for configuration. - -The inclusion of a shorturl for the original posting in cases when the -message was longer than 140 characters requires it, that you have *PHP5+* and -*curl* on your server. - -___ Where to find ___ - -In the Friendika git repository /addon/twitter/, 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 -Twitter_. - -[1] https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth -[2] http://dentedreality.com.au/projects/slinky/ - -___ Configuration ___ - -__ Global Configuration __ - -To activate this addon add @twitter@ to the list of active addons in your -.htconfig.php file - $a->config['system']['addon'] = "twitter, ..." -Afterwards you need to add your OAuth consumer key / secret pair to it by -adding the following two lines - -$a->config['twitter']['consumerkey'] = 'your consumer KEY here'; -$a->config['twitter']['consumersecret'] = 'your consumer SECRET here'; - -When this is done your user can now configure their Twitter connection at -"Settings -> Plugin Settings" and enable the forwarding of their *public* -messages to Twitter. - -__ User Configuration __ - -When the OAuth consumer informations are correctly placed into the -configuration file and a user visits the "Plugin Settings" page they can now -connect to Twitter. To do so one has to follow the _Sign in with Twitter_ -button (the page will be opened in a new browser window/tab) and get a PIN from -Twitter. This PIN has to be entered on the settings page. After submitting the -PIN the plugin will get OAuth credentials identifying this user from the -Friendika account. - -If this first step was successful the Twitter configuration will be changed -on the "Plugin Settings" page displaying two check boxes. One to enable/disable -the forwarding of *all public* postings to Twitter and one to clear the -personal configuration from the Twitter credentials. - |
