Twitter Bundles

Using Twitter with Open-Xchange

Preparation

You MAY want to replace the standard configuration of twitter integration. This depends on whether you want your own company-name to be shown to users during the twitter authentication process. If you want this please follow these steps:

• Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps
• Log into Twitter
• Click "Create a new application" on the right

NOTE: the callback URL changed recently, it has to be https://yxz.mycompany.com/ajax/defer and not http://xyz.mycompany.com as seen in the screenshots. Note it is https now and has an added path.

Make sure that you update to the latest version of Open-Xchange Appsuite.

• Enter appropriate Information in "Name", "Description", "Website" and "Callback URL". "Callback URL" should be the URL by which the Server is reachable (This is not checked at this moment but may be in the future).
• Enter the text displayed in the captcha into the textfield below
• Check "Yes, I agree" under "Developer Rules Of The Road"
• Click "Create your Twitter application"

• In the following overview click "Settings"

• Change "Access" from "Read only" to "Read and Write"
• Fill "Organization name" and "Organization website" if wanted
• Upload a custom application icon if wanted
• Click "Update this Twitter application´s settings"

• Copy the String under "Consumer key" and paste it into the file "twitter.properties" as parameter "com.openexchange.twitter.consumerKey" (replacing the existing key there)

• Copy the String under "Consumer secret" and paste it into the file "twitter.properties" as parameter "com.openexchange.twitter.consumerSecret" (replacing the existing key there)
