This gem wraps oauth and oauth-plugin to make it simple to get tokens for services that muck can interact with various services.
Please note that this gem is no longer being maintained. We are migrating to muck-auth which uses omniauth.
For more documentation see: github.com/pelle/oauth-plugin stakeventures.com/articles/2009/07/21/consuming-oauth-intelligently-in-rails stakeventures.com/articles/2008/02/23/developing-oauth-clients-in-ruby
Add the following to environment.rb
config.gem "oauth" config.gem "oauth-plugin" config.gem "muck-oauth"
Add the following to your user model:
include MuckOauth::Models::MuckUser
Add the following to global_config.yml. Be sure to get keys from each service that you want to interact with.
# Oauth # Twitter api access: http://www.twitter.com/apps twitter_oauth_key: '' twitter_oauth_secret: '' # Google api access: http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/RegistrationForWebAppsAuto.html#register google_oauth_key: "" google_oauth_secret: "" # Yahoo api access: http://developer.yahoo.com/flickr/ yahoo_oauth_key: "" yahoo_oauth_secret: "" # Flick api access: http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply # flickr_oauth_key: # flickr_oauth_secret: # Linked In api access: https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer # linkedin_oauth_key: "" # linkedin_oauth_secret: "" linkedin_oauth_key: "" linkedin_oauth_secret: "" # Friendfeed api access: https://friendfeed.com/account/login?next=%2Fapi%2Fregister # Production friendfeed_oauth_key: '' friendfeed_oauth_secret: '' # Test friendfeed_oauth_key: '' friendfeed_oauth_secret: ''
Add configuration for services to:
intializers/oauth_consumers.rb
Link to each service like this:
<a href="/oauth_consumers/twitter">Twitter</a> <a href="/oauth_consumers/google">Google</a>
Each service provides methods that enable communication with the service’s api via popular gems. For example, the twitter service uses the twitter gem and so you can call methods against a user’s twitter account like this:
user.twitter.client.verify_credentials[:screen_name]
Please see each gem’s documentation for more information: Twitter Docs: rdoc.info/projects/jnunemaker/twitter Twitter Examples: github.com/jnunemaker/twitter-app/ i.e.
user.twitter.client
Linked In Docs: github.com/pengwynn/linkedin i.e.
user.linked_in.client
Google Docs: github.com/pelle/portablecontacts i.e.

If you get an error like this:
uninitialized constant User::TwitterToken
it means you need to setup your global_config.yml with the values specified above.
