 * Hi scoobydoobydoo,
 * If I did that it wouldn’t be consistent over all extensions. Its a pain that 
   they all give the same thing a different name! What I really need to do is sort
   out the setup guides. Its just time i am struggling with, working 70 hour weeks
   currently.
 * There are some demo screenshots over in out github documentation.
    [The user documentation](https://github.com/lncd/bebop/wiki/User-Documentation)
   shows you what this does. For Twitter, it basically just grabs the tweet history,
   and adds each tweet to the BuddyPress activity feed.
 * The Facebook apps are probably on the same level of complexity as the twitter
   apps. Nevertheless don;t be afraid – I am here if you need me!

 * Hi scoobydoobydoo,
 * The wp_bp_bebop_options table stores data such as what is found in option settings.
   The twitter API key and API secret are stores in that table.
 * The wp_bp_bebop_user_meta table stores any data that is related to users, such
   as usernames, access tokens, etc.
 * If the ‘temp’ token/secret are not being produced then there must still be issues
   with your twitter app api key/secret.
 * Can you please check your are using the correct keys – [as per this image](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8089/8391226069_859cdc4fd0_z.jpg).
   You need to be using the ‘consumer key’ and ‘consumer secret’ that twitter provides.
 * Thanks,
 * Dale

 * Hi Scoobydoobydoo,
 * The setup documentation for each extension is something I have been meaning to
   do but haven;t got round to doing yet.
 * If you are getting the “Failed to validate oauth signature and token” message
   and you are absolutely sure the read/write access and callback parameters are
   now correct, you have a couple of options. Essentially there is ‘bad’ access 
   tokens that are now saved in the database which need to be removed.
 * 1. – check the ‘wp_bp_bebop_user_meta’ table for your twitter oauth tokens & 
   secrets. Delete them and try again. they will look like so (from memory):
 * bebop_twitter_<your-username>_oauth_token
    bebop_twitter_<your-username>_oauth_secret
   bebop_twitter_<your-username>_oauth_token_temp bebop_twitter_<your-username>_oauth_secret_temp
 * 2. – You could also sort the ‘wp_bp_bebop_user_meta’ by extension and then delete
   any data relating to twitter.
 * 3. – deactivate and uninstall bebop, then reinstall and reactivate. This will
   delete and then recreate the database tables. It will however remove all other
   data too.
 * Let me know how you get on.
 * Dale

 * Hi,
 * For what it’s worth, if you are comfortable with development then why not copy
   the original RSS extension and create your own – its a pretty simple process –
   just follow the guides in the github wiki ([https://github.com/lncd/bebop/wiki](https://github.com/lncd/bebop/wiki)).
 * If you need any more help just let me know.

 * Hi,
 * Nothing to be sorry about! these things happen from time to time.
 * Not sure why the commons in a box project keeps such an old version of the plugin.
   I’ll speak with Boone and see if he can investigate.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi,
 * These errors were fixed in version 1.2.2. Can you please clarify what version
   of Bebop you are using?

 * Hi,
 * The RSS feed plugin is a generic RSS importer. It does its best to grap the data
   from RSS feeds, but because all RSS feeds are different it is impossible to guarantee
   it will be able to import data from every type of feed.
 * If you are just wanting to use RSS, then there are much more suitable plugins
   than bebop. May I suggest something like lifestream – they have individual RSS
   feeds for each platform, and each is customised to fit that platform specifically.

 * Hi,
 * I have never used VK.com before so I admit that I don’t have much knowledge on
   what it is/does, but I will take a look at it in the new year and see if we can
   get it to do anything useful!
