Tweet Icon Tweet This

What is this?

Tweet This is an Umbraco Content App. It sits in the backoffice of Umbraco and allows a content editor or any backoffice user of Umbraco to create a tweet for the node and then allows you to tweet to a linked account. The tweet will then be published on Twitter with a link back to the webpage.

There is also a history of all tweets created and a link to that tweet from the backoffice.

Install

Install via NuGet: dotnet add package ocTweetThis --version 0.0.1

Nuget Downloads

Setup

You need to get a Twitter API key from - https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard

Once you have the details for your API, you need to update the appsettings.json file in your Umbraco project

"ocTweetThis": {
    "ConsumerKey": "twitter_consumer_key",
    "ConsumerSecret": "twitter_consumer_secret",
    "AccessToken": "twitter_access_token",
    "AccessSecret": "twitter_access_secret",
  }

Test mode

If you want to test Tweet This without an API Key from Twitter you can use Test Mode. Copy and Paste the snippet below in to the `appsettings.json

    "ConsumerKey": "twitter_consumer_key",
    "ConsumerSecret": "twitter_consumer_secret",
    "AccessToken": "twitter_access_token",
    "AccessSecret": "twitter_access_secret",
    "EnableLiveTweeting": "False",
    "EnableTestMode":  "True"

Just add the two optional values to the appsettings.json file - "EnableLiveTweeting": "False" and "EnableTestMode": "True". This will allow you to see the functionality of the package, minus it actually tweeting out to your account.
