Twitter Friends Syncing
-----------------------
Twitter Bridge
--------------
As of Laconica 0.6.3, users may set a flag in their settings ("Subscribe
to my Twitter friends here" under the Twitter tab) to have Laconica
attempt to locate and subscribe to "friends" (people they "follow") on
Twitter who also have accounts on your Laconica system, and who have
previously set up a link for automatically posting notices to Twitter.
* OAuth
Optionally, there is a script (./scripts/synctwitterfriends.php), meant
to be run periodically from a job scheduler (e.g.: cron under Unix), to
look for new additions to users' friends lists. Note that the friends
syncing only subscribes users to each other, it does not unsubscribe
users when they stop following each other on Twitter.
As of 0.8.1, OAuth is used to to access protected resources on Twitter
instead of HTTP Basic Auth. To use Twitter bridging you will need
to register your instance of Laconica as an application on Twitter
(http://twitter.com/apps), and update the following variables in your
config.php with the consumer key and secret Twitter generates for you:
Sample cron job:
$config['twitter']['consumer_key'] = 'YOURKEY';
$config['twitter']['consumer_secret'] = 'YOURSECRET';
# Update Twitter friends subscriptions every half hour
0,30 * * * * /path/to/php /path/to/laconica/scripts/synctwitterfriends.php>&/dev/null
When registering your application with Twitter set the type to "Browser"
and your Callback URL to:
http://example.org/mublog/twitter/authorization
The default access type should be, "Read & Write".
* Importing statuses from Twitter
To allow your users to import their friends' Twitter statuses, you will
need to enable the bidirectional Twitter bridge in config.php:
$config['twitterbridge']['enabled'] = true;
and run the TwitterStatusFetcher daemon (scripts/twitterstatusfetcher.php).
Additionally, you will want to set the integration source variable,
which will keep notices posted to Twitter via Laconica from looping
back. The integration source should be set to the name of your
application, exactly as you specified it on the settings page for your
Laconica application on Twitter, e.g.:
$config['integration']['source'] = 'YourApp';
* Twitter Friends Syncing
Users may set a flag in their settings ("Subscribe to my Twitter friends
here" under the Twitter tab) to have Laconica attempt to locate and
subscribe to "friends" (people they "follow") on Twitter who also have
accounts on your Laconica system, and who have previously set up a link
for automatically posting notices to Twitter.
As of 0.8.0, this is no longer accomplished via a cron job. Instead you
must run the SyncTwitterFriends daemon (scripts/synctwitterfreinds.php).
