In reply to: [Bebop] Cannot see RSSHi,
This means that the feed name already exists.
If the feed is not showing, then nothing has been imported from the feed – either as a result of an incorrect URL or simply because nothing could be extracted from the feed.
Without having access to your install it is impossible for me to tell.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi Eric,
Correct, we do not want to handle any passwords, so pass it off to Twitter to deal with. Once the user has accepted on twitter, we can start importing their tweets 🙂
Documentation wise that would be ace.
Thank you,

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingEric,
apologies, didn’t see your first response.
Correct, we are not going to write to twitter, but the app needs full access to the twitter API’s.
Callback url can be left blank, but for security purposes, i suggest you change it to your domain name (don’t forget the http://).

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingEric,
“However, Bebop does not work with Twitter the way I thought it would. I expected users to be able to enter their Twitter handle and have their tweets come into their or the sites Activity Stream.”
That is exactly how it works. Each user has to authorise with twitter, like you just did, to get their contents on their buddypress activity stream.
Also, don’t forget that users will need to verify their tweets in the content manager if you have “should users verify imported content” = yes in the admin backend.
You can change this No, and it will pick up tweets whenever the cron is ran, no verification required.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi Eric,
Thanks for trying that.
No, the long string is not supposed to show, this means an exception was encountered when generating the temporary access tokens. I initially thought this was due to the incorrect keys being saved to the database, but with a fresh install and correct consumer key/token i would not suggest there is something not set right in your twitter application.
Please check that the app’s access level is set to read/write, and the callback URL points to your domain.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingOdd. I suggest you uninstall bebop completely and then reinstall.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi Eric,
Disabling and re-enabling the plugin does nothing.
Twitter is a pain because it requires an automatic temporary oauth token/secret to be made. If this was made with an incorrect consumer token/secret, you will get the problems you are experiencing.
Hence, you need to clear the temporary oauth token/secret from the table i mentioned above.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi Eric,
That’s odd.
Possible because you previously entered an incorrect token/secret. I would advise clearing the ‘bp_bebop_user_meta’ through your webhost database admin panel and then try again.
I will have a look at how i can prevent this in the future.

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi Eric,
You need the tokens labelled “Consumer Key” and “Consumer Secret” for twitter.
Any help on documentation would be welcomed, if not, i will write it when i get round to it.
Thanks,
Dale

In reply to: [BuddyPress] [Plugin: BuddyPress] Twitter, Facebook & Google ConnectJust to clarify, Bebop will NOT break for Twitter when they turn off their RSS feeds.
Bebop uses Twitter’s oAuth powered APIs and not their RSS feeds.
I should know – I’m the developer! 😛

In reply to: [Bebop] Trouble getting Twitter workingHi,
Yes, you need to register an application on Twitter and use the token/secret it will provide to you.
oAuth works by authenticating the application first, and then authenticating the user based on twitter login sessions. This means you can only add one account to the Twitter/Facebook extensions per user. All other extensions can have multiple accounts.
All documentation is on our Github wiki (https://github.com/lncd/bebop/wiki).
The ‘RSS Enabled’ checkbox is for publishing RSS feeds from Bebop – it is not a method of import.

In reply to: [Bebop] Twitter dropping RSS supportHi,
It won’t.
Bebop doesn’t use twitter’s RSS feeds – it uses their oAuth based API’s.
