(This is a message for
those of you on our waiting list.)
Some of you are about to set up web sites just like WP Questions, using our software. You may have noticed that new questions auto-post to Twitter.
Chris Clarke helped set this up, and he sends me this info:
Go to Twitter and log in with whatever account you will be using.
Click “Register a new application ยป”.
For “Application Name” I usually just put the name of the web site.
Fill in the details and click OK. No callback URL is needed.
On the next page, you will want to collect 2 pieces of information. There are 4 codes needed for Twitter. 2 are on the page you’re looking at:
1. Consumer key
2. Consumer secret
Now, click My Access Token on the right. You’ll see:
3. Access Token (oauth_token)
4. Access Token Secret (oauth_token_secret)
Then you will log into your admin panel, which we have set up for you on your website, and you input these 4 pieces of information. That should allow your site to start auto-posting to Twitter, every time there is a new question posted to your site.
