Welcome on the official “Spip Loves Twitter”’s page for Spip.

Reminder : twitter is a micro-blogging platform. Friends and people are following you, and you do the same with others. You post messages that can’t exceed more than 140 characters long.
The other key feature with twitter is its ability to send free SMS when someone you follow updates its status. The SMS feature is only available for certain countries.

How it works : This plug-in has 2 modes.

1. Manual mode : The plug-in acts like a gateway to twitter and you can send messages to twitter like if you were connected to the official twitter web site. This is done by accessing the plug-in interface.
2. Auto mode : Your messages are generated based on a mask with pre-defined tags. When you article goes online, the message is generated and sent to twitter.
   These 2 modes use the Twitter API to send messages to the Twitter platform.

Configuration interface : It has been designed to be simple and efficient. Most of the fields are already preset with their default values.
This interface gives you the ability to shorten url via is.gd service.
You can also review the latest published messages and for generated messages, you can post then again (re-twit)

Online help : To make things easier, the interface comes with an online help. You can also check the connectivity with twitter.

Tag (a.ka. “balise”) : To work properly, the plug-in must be linked to your templates. #SPIPLOVESTWITTER is a dynamic tag. You can use it with or without parameters depending n your needs.

Parameters :

• process=(oui*|non) : Specifies if the plug-in has to search for an article to published a message on twitter. By default, this parameter returns nothing.
• item=(url|followers) : If “url” is used, the tag will return the url to your twitter homepage. If “followers” is used, it will returns the number of people following your twitter feed.
  If you use the tag with no parameter, it’s equivalent to use it with ’process=oui’. Both parameters can be combined. together.

Exemples :

• [(#SPIPLOVESTWITTER{process=oui})]

Post a message if one is available. Returns nothing.

• [(#SPIPLOVESTWITTER{process=non,item=followers})]

Doesn’t publish any messages, displays on the number of followers.

• [(#SPIPLOVESTWITTER{process=oui,item=url})]

Post a message if one is available and return the url associated to your twitter homepage.

It’s important to use the tag with ’process=oui’ if you want automatique messages to be published.
