Tags
Allows you to set up automated tweeting of entries, based on a schedule.
Automatically post notifications to Twitter based on a schedule.
Requirements
- The the oAuth PECL extension (http://pecl.php.net/oauth)
- PHP >= 5.2
Installation
To install this module fully, you need to take the following steps. *If you already have a consumer key and consumer secret from Twitter, skip to step 2.*
- Register your website with Twitter (http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new), setting “Application Type” set to “Client” and “Default Access Type” set to “Read & Write”. The rest of the details are up to you.
- Add the “Consumer Key” and “Consumer Secret” you received from Twitter to your EE configuration file:
# Twitter oAuth config $conf['twitter_oauth_consumer_key'] = 'myconsumerkey'; $conf['twitter_oauth_consumer_secret'] = 'myconsumersecret';
To automate the process, create a new template whose contents are a single tag (or use the provided one):
{exp:auto_tweet:cron}
Set up a cron job to ping that URL every hour. For example:
* */1 * * * wget -q -O /dev/null http://my-site.com/cron/auto-tweet
Notes
Upon installing, the Module will walk you through all of this before allowing you to set it up.
