Retrieves Home Timeline, Favorites, Mentions, and Retweets from the authenticated Twitter account
Description
Installation - git submodules
This extension uses an external library for twitter communication which resides in lib/twitter-async/. If this folder (or its contents) do not exist for you please ensure all git submodules have been updated recursively.
Obtaining a Consumer Token and Secret
In order to use this extension you must register an application with twitter to allow OAuth communication.
- Visit https://dev.twitter.com/user/login and sign in
- In the drop down under your screen name in the top right select “My applications”
- Create a new application and fill out the required fields. Be sure to set a callback URL (your website URL or preferences page are both fine), leaving it blank will result in Symphony errors when visiting your preferences page.
- Once created, you should be able to see a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, save these to the twitter preferences on your Symphony website.
Future Work
I have a prototype field that will publish a tweet once the entry has been created. More work is needed before I can release this feature.
