-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-!! 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_.
-

-[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.
