tomasvotruba/statie-tweet-publisher

Statie Plugin that automates tweet posting from Posts

[DEPREATED] Intergated directly in Statie 5.3+

Let Statie & Travis publish Tweets for your new posts fo you., _(*1)

Install

composer require tomasvotruba/statie-tweet-publisher:@dev --dev

Configure

# statie.yml
imports:
    - { resource: 'vendor/tomasvotruba/statie-tweet-publisher/src/config/config.yml' }

parameters:
    twitter_name: 'VotrubaT'
    source_directory: '%kernel.project_dir%/../../../source'
    # set 0 for testing
    minimal_gap_in_days: 1 # how many days to wait before publishing another Tweet

Get Twitter Tokens

• Go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
• Login under account you want to publish in and create new Application
• Then go to "Keys and Access Tokens"
• In the bottom click to "Create my access token"

Now the secret part, be careful about your keys!, _(*2)

• Add config/config.local.yml to .gitignore

• Copy these 4 hashes you see in the page to config/config.local.yml, _(*3)

  # config/config.local.yml
  parameters:
      # for tomasvotruba/statie-tweet-publisher package locally
      twitter_consumer_key: "..."
      twitter_consumer_secret: "..."
      twitter_oauth_access_token: "..."
      twitter_oauth_access_token_secret: "..."
  

• Import this file in statie.yml under the package config, so it has bigger priority and you can test it locally, _(*4)

  # statie.yml
  imports:
      - { resource: 'vendor/tomasvotruba/statie-tweet-publisher/src/config/config.yml' }
      # enabled on localhost only
      - { resource: 'config/config.local.yml', ignore_errors: true }
  

• Add tweet: "some tweet" to headline of your post to test it, _(*5)
• Run vendor/bin/publish-new-tweet and check your Twitter account

Is it there? Good, it works and only few steps remain to fully automate this :), _(*6)

Setup Travis Online

Now we only put that logic on Travis and we're done., _(*7)

• Open Travis for your repository, e.g. https://travis-ci.org/TomasVotruba/tomasvotruba.cz
• Got to More options => Settings
• In Environment Variables add 4 variables with they values. They are hidden by default, so don't worry:
  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
  • TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • TWITTER_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • TWITTER_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
• Then setup cron, so posts are being published even if you don't write and have a break.
• Go to Cron Jobs → master branch → Daily → Always run → Add

That its!, _(*8)

• And let .travis.yml know, that he should publish it, _(*9)

  # .travis.yml
  language: php
  
  matrix:
      include:
          - php: 7.1
            env: TWEET=1
  
  script:
      # tweets posts
      - if [[ $TRAVIS_BRANCH == "master" && $TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST == "false" && $TWEET != "" ]]; then vendor/bin/publish-new-tweet; fi
  

Now you can quit Twitter if you want and you posts will be still there :), _(*10)
