zinnia-twitter 1.0

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

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, follow this excellent tutorial at:

http://talkfast.org/2010/05/31/twitter-from-the-command-line-in-python-using-oauth/

You can replace the script mentionned in the step 3 of the tutorial by the get_twitter_access management command provided by the application, once you have your CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET.

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