How to import twitter friends - Twitterbridge

iberliner

I installed Statusnet 0.9 on http://iberliner.de. I can post to Twitter, but not import my Twitter friend timeline. You can do it? How?

There's a readme file in the TwitterBridge plugin directory with some details on the background daemons required for pulling data in. Beware, the input mode's still a bit experimental...

@brionv Thanks.

I have no shell. Is there a way to start startdaemons with phpx and exec?

Hi I just installed ststusnet on greentweet.info and would like to know how to
"Simply enter your Twitter username and password into the 'Twitter' tab on the Settings page"

I found the readme file in RwitterBridge and it told me to "To enable the administration panel, you will need to add it to the list of active administration panels. You can do this via your config.php."
I put the code in the config file but still can't find the administration panel

Any help would be mutch appreciated.

@eirbyte

get a twitter api key twitter/apps

enable the control panel by adding this to the config.php

$config['admin']['panels'][] = 'twitter';

Agreed that its complicated right now, we are working on making this much simpler.

application type browser
read a write
autorization url is: http://yourstatusnetdomaingoeshere/twitter/authorization

Thanks but I'm still lost went to twitter trying to find an API key and got lost in the wiki

Managed to put the code in the config file but I think I need a step by step guide is their one ??

ok worked it out with the help of the Twitterbridge readme
Got an api and manually edited the config file

To enable the plugin, add the following to your config.php

addPlugin(
'TwitterBridge',
array(
'consumer_key' => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
'consumer_secret' => 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET'
)
);

Now I can log in to twitter and post to twitter but after ticking the box's

"Subscribe to my Twitter friends here"
"Import my Friends Timeline"

Still no luck all I see in the time line is my own posts
What's to do ???

This is twitter import, you need to have your application api key allow read a write access and you need to run the twitterimporter script.

check the readme for details.

Hi there,

did this all read+write but also I get only posted TO twitter but not twitter->status.net app.

Any other idea? Further deleting a POST in Status.net does not delete the message in the twitter timeline. Is this function included and should work?

Thanks

Ok managed it but I must say it is bit confusing "public timeline" versus the "personal" one where I see the Tweets of the people I follow etc.

Doesnt it make sense to have ONE timeline if I am logged in?

aric

@peterberg due to privacy concerns, only the logged in user can see his or her imported twitter tweets.
