A user can follow specific hashtags on twitter and see the tweets within the
|
||||
channels of his/her choice. The tweets are retrieved periodically from Twitter.
|
||||
An authenticated user can retweet the messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up the App on Twitter's side
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Twitter uses an "App" on its side which is opens a gate to which Odoo asks for
|
||||
tweets, and through which a user can retweet.
|
||||
To set up this app, go to http://apps.twitter.com/app/new and put in the values:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: this is the name of the application on Twitter
|
||||
|
||||
- Website: this is the external url of your Odoo database, with "/web" added.
|
||||
For example, if your Odoo instance is hosted at "http://www.example.com", you
|
||||
should put "http://www.example.com/web" in this field.
|
||||
|
||||
- Callback URL: this is the address on which Twitter will respond. Following the
|
||||
previous example you should write "http://www.example.com/web/twitter/callback".
|
||||
|
||||
Do not forget to accept the terms **Developer agreement** of use and click on
|
||||
**Create your Twitter application** at the bottom of the page.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Getting the API key and secret
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
When on the App dashboard, switch to the **Keys and Access Tokens** tab.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
And copy those values in Odoo in :menuselection:`Settings--> General Settings--> Twitter discuss integration`
|
||||
and click on **Save** to save the settings.
