I think not. I've tried on extensions and modules and no!

Will this work on Siena ?

Maybe it was related to an earlier issue?

I've updated the download file again, the {TWITTER_SIGNIN} tag will now only be assigned for guests, so there's no need to put it in the conditional block anymore. Also there will now be a message when you're redirected to the registration page when you try to sign in.

# Koradhil : @aiwass: I read that on your website. As far as I know there is no need for your Twitter screen name and Cotonti username to be the same. At the demo site my username is Koradhil while my Twitter screen name is GHengeveld.

I tried with my "admin" account and my twitter account which ain't "admin" and I couldn't login. Hence the little warning. I'll try later on again with another account.

@aiwass: I read that on your website. As far as I know there is no need for your Twitter screen name and Cotonti username to be the same. At the demo site my username is Koradhil while my Twitter screen name is GHengeveld.

Also I recommend placing the Sign-in button within the conditional block.

@Koradhil - This is my tutorial and you might see that the part about the same username on Twitter as well on the site you connect to. I had troubles connecting my existing account with twitter. Am I wrong?

"If you are not a member on the website you can sign up by doing these 4 steps:
1. Click the "Sign in with Twitter" button. Connect you twitter account to our website. (You only allow already public information to be shared)
2. You will then be directed to creating an account with Megamind Magazine. Fill out the form and send it.
3. You'll get an email which you need to confirm the registration.
4. Click on the "Sign in with Twitter" button again after you've completed the above steps and you are now logged in to Megamind Magazine.

Already registered users at Megamind Magazine can connect through their profile, but please bare in mind that your user name on Twitter and Megamind Magazine need to be the same."

A message at the registration page telling that you have to connect through your profile would be good.

Update: added some information about the application flow to the topicstart.

@Koradhil: Yes, now it works, when you explained the users.php?m=register it became clear.

GHengeveld

Mo, 30 Aug 2010 02:26:53 -0000

Did you install it correctly and completed all the installation steps? (including adding the tags)

I cannot help you if you don't explain exactly what the problem is.

@aiwass: I just registered at your site with the twitter button, I was able to login with the twitter button also. It seems everything works well now.

I did not understand anything from this plug-in

GHengeveld

Mo, 30 Aug 2010 02:16:49 -0000

That's correct.

If you use the 'sign in with twitter' you will be sent to the registration page. Only username is pre-filled, but when you're done registering your profile will also contain location, signature (latest tweet) and occupation (twitter bio).

If you want to sign in to Cotonti with Twitti, you first have to login normally, go to your profile and use the button there to connect your Cotonti account with your Twitter account. The next time you login you can use the Sign in with Twitter button and it will log you into Cotonti instead of redirecting to the registration page. Obviously if you register through the Twitter button your new account will automatically be connected to your Twitter account.

This is strange. Now when I click the "Sign in with Twitter" and login @Twitter and Allow access for my application it reverts me to http://www.megamind.se/users.php?m=register is it supposed to do that?

The fields that are "pre-filled" are Username only.

GHengeveld

Sorry for the fuss, I'm not thinking straight anymore. I've fixed the download and updated the instructions above. I hope everything will now work as it should.

Check if all plugin parts are installed correctly (adminpanel).

Added 4 minutes later:

Oh wait, I forgot to mention there is a bug in Genoa that you need to fix in order to use it. See changeset 1294 (you can fix it yourself or just download the entire file here).

Login failed (wrong name or password)

Error, the user name you provided isn't in the database or the password do not match!

Redirecting...

I get this after Allow access for Twitti

GHengeveld

Mo, 30 Aug 2010 01:43:55 -0000

Sorry about that. Check twitti.php and replace line 18 with:

require_once($basedir.'/lib/twitteroauth.php');

Also in twitti.auth.php replace line 33 with:

require_once('plugins/twitti/lib/twitteroauth.php');

Updating the download file right away...

This is version 2.0 of Twitti. It uses OAuth to connect your Twitter account with your Cotonti account.

Features:
- Connect Twitter account with Cotonti account
- Easily register using Twitter account, getting profile data from Twitter
- Sign in to Cotonti with your Twitter account in one click

Note that it doesn't support the Twitti v1.0 features yet. Installing both is useless since Twitti v1.0 doesn't use OAuth so it's not supported by Twitter anymore. For Twitti v1.0 features you can use Twitter Widgets.

Application flow:
If you first use the 'Sign in with Twitter' button you will be sent to the registration page. The username will be pre-filled with the Twitter screen name. When you're done registering your profile will also contain location, signature (latest tweet) and occupation (Twitter bio) coming from your Twitter account. Your new Cotonti account will automatically be connected to the Twitter account you registered with.

Existing Cotonti users first have to login the regular way. To connect your Cotonti account with a Twitter account, go to your Cotonti profile page and click the Connect button. The next time you can use the 'Sign in with Twitter' button to login to Cotonti.

Installation:
- Upload files to your plugins dir
- Install plugin in the adminpanel
- Create a Twitter Application with read access
- Configure the plugin with the Application details provided by Twitter
- Update your skin to add tags as listed with the plugin details in the adminpanel

Note:
There is a bug in Genoa that you need to fix in order to use the plugin. See changeset 1294.
You can fix it yourself or just download and replace the entire file here).

If you need help registering an app with Twitter, here's some explanation.

Application name
Can be anything, I suggest using your website name.

Description
Something like "Twitter app for {website name}" will do.

Application website
Absolute URL of your Cotonti website.

Organisation
Probably the website name or your business name.

Application type
Leave it set to 'browser'.

Callback URL
It's overriden by Twitti, so just put your Cotonti website URL here.

Access type
Twitti doesn't need write access (yet), but for feature compatibility you can select 'Read & Write'. If you don't want to ask this from your users you can choose 'Read-only'.

Application icon
Twitti doesn't come with an icon, so you can upload almost anything you want here. Keep in mind that this icon is shown to your users when they first connect to the application.

When you're done creating the application, you're taken to an overview page. Here you will find all sorts of information, including the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. These need to be entered in the configuration of Twitti.
