MyTwit

MyTwit is a PHP class used to embed a Twitter user's public comments into a web page. It keeps it's own cache, and (by default) updates only every 10 minutes when the page is loaded to prevent overloading twitter (and possibly getting banned). As of version 0.5, it uses an in-built Oauth and curl to fetch feeds.

Installation

Once you have downloaded the code, place the 'Variables' directory within your MediaWiki 'extensions' directory.

cd /path/to/mediawiki/
cd extensions/
git clone https://github.com/wiki-chan/MyTwitter.git

Then add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php) file:

# Variables
wfLoadExtension( "MyTwitter" );

Also, add OAuth informations to your LocalSettings.php

# MyTwitter
$wgTwitterUser = YOUR_TWITTER_ACCOUNT_NAME;
$wgTwitterConsumerKey = CONSUMER_KEY;
$wgTwitterConsumerSecret = CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY;
$wgTwitterOAUTHAccessToken = OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN;
$wgTwitterOAUTHAccessTokenSecret = OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET;

Get Oauth token

Go to twitter's application management page. Click 'Create New App' button, and enter your wiki website informations. You can find Consumer keys and OAuth access tokens after create new application.

Usage

On Mediawiki page, use <twitter/> tag. You can use <twitter>ERRORMESSAGE</twitter> for showing error message in case of error. Built-in css code works only in Main page.
