Twitter-related Configurations

Live Center can make use of Twitter in a number of different ways, which makes the configuration options related to Twitter potentially confusing. The different ways in which Twitter can be used are:

Twitter monitoring

To set up Live Center to support Twitter monitoring, you simply need to set the twitterAPIKey and twitterAPISecret properties in Configuration.properties, as described in General Settings. Live Center then logs in to the specified Twitter account and events can be configured to monitor Twitter for relevant tweets, and the user can drag tweets into entries as described in Using Social Media Feeds.

Posting entries to Twitter

If you want users to be able to post Live Center entries to Twitter, then you can enable this functionality by creating Twitter profiles. A Twitter profile is defined in a .properties file as described in Creating Twitter Profiles.
