SocialPoster.setup do |config|
config.fb = {
access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN'
}
config.vk = {
access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN'
}
config.twitter = {
consumer_key: 'CONSUMER_KEY',
consumer_secret: 'CONSUMER_SECRET',
oauth_token: 'OAUTH_TOKEN',
oauth_token_secret: 'OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET'
}
config.lj = {
user: 'USER',
password: 'PASSWORD'
}
endUsage
In controller or model you can post to different social networks like this:
SocialPoster.write(:fb, 'Something that will appear on your Facebook Wall...')
SocialPoster.write(:vk, 'Something that will appear on your Vkontakte Wall...')
SocialPoster.write(:twitter, 'Tweet tweet tweet')
SocialPoster.write(:lj, 'A long text of the post...', 'A short title of it')For Vkontakte API there is a possibility of providing additional options. For instance, for posting on a group wall use this example:
SocialPoster.write(:vk, 'Text on the Group Wall...', nil, owner_id: '-GROUP_ID')You can specify extra parameters for Facebook API too. For instance, you can post links, or pictures like this:
SocialPoster.write(:fb, 'Text on the Wall...', nil, link: 'http://google.com', picture: 'https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png')Contribute
