add twitter setup. knock yourselves out.

Usage: Twitter.update('Ya bish')

Don't put credentials in open source files, stupid.

[jneen]

I'll regenerate them if you set it up.

[cjzhang]

It's your pull req. :| you fix it

[wesdotcool]

Umm. What's going on with this PR now? There's no commits. Instead of putting the tokens directly in the code, you can pull it from the ENV variable.

[jneen]

And then anybody who wants to run steggybot has to directly message me to get the credentials and set 4 ENV variables?

[jneen]

New usage:

class MyPlugin
  include Tweetable

  def some_method
    tweet "ya bish"
  end
end

You have to put a config file in config/twitter.rb. There is an example and I'll post the credentials in irc.

[cjzhang]

Nice!

[wesdotcool]

@jayferd well if they want to tweet to YOUR twitter account, they better damn well have to get the credentials from you. Alternatively, they can make their own credentials and use this to tweet to their own accounts. You'll just have to give steggy the creds so he can put them up on the production instance, and then everyone else can either not use this function if they're running it locally, use their own creds and twitter account, or pm you for your creds.

I still like the idea of ENV variables because this means that you have to deal changing this file every time you pull, instead of adding some ENV variables once on every machine you run this one. But if you feel strongly that this is a better solution I'd like to hear you out.

[jneen]

What do you mean "changing this file every time you pull"? The actual config/twitter.rb is not checked in, and I'm actually going to .gitignore it. This file actually doesn't do anything. And really, for dev work, you can just not set it up and it'll print "tweeting: thing" every time you try to tweet.

[wesdotcool]

Oh I didn't realize that this was labeled as an example and the actual file is in the .gitignore. Could you place a comment at top of the file explaining the user should copy this file to config/twitter.rb and replace the keys with their keys? That will be helpful.

[cjzhang]

+1 let's merge this in at some point
