============== Zinnia-twitter

Zinnia-twitter is a package putting your entries on Twitter_.

Installation

• Install the package on your system: ::

  $ pip install zinnia-twitter

  Tweepy_ will also be installed as a dependency.

• Register the 'zinnia_twitter' in your INSTALLED_APPS after the 'zinnia' application.

• Define these following settings with your credentials:

  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET

• If you have enabled one of the zinnia-wysiwyg-xxx plugin widget, you need to reconstruct the EntryAdmin class manually with the provided mixins: ::

  from zinnia.admin.entry import EntryAdmin from zinnia_twitter.admin import EntryAdminTwitterMixin from zinnia_ckeditor.admin import EntryAdminCKEditorMixin

  class FinalEntryAdmin(EntryAdminCKEditorMixin, EntryAdminTwitterMixin, EntryAdmin): pass

  admin.site.unregister(Entry) admin.site.register(Entry, FinalEntryAdmin)

Note that the authentification for Twitter has changed since September 2010. The actual authentification system is based on oAuth. That’s why now you need to set these 4 settings. If you don’t know how to get these information, go to:

https://apps.twitter.com/ https://apps.twitter.com/app/(app_number)/keys

Now in the admin, you can post an update containing your entry’s title and the shortened URL of your entry.
