To Enable Twitter Single Sign On Integration in YAF.NET (2.00 or higher is required)...

  • You need to Enable "Enable Single Sign On" in the Host Settings of your Forum.
  • And you need an Twitter Application for your website.

Register your Website on Twitter.com

Everything you need to know can be found on the Twitter Developers Portal (Of Course you need an Twitter Account)

  1. Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps
  2. Click on "Create a new application"
  3. Completly Fill Out the "Application details" Form. Do not forget to Define the Callback URL, you can enter anything you want it will be automatically replaced by YAF.NET
  4. In the Application Settings the Application Type needs to be set to "Read and Write"
  5. After your Application is created your Consumer Key/Secret are created, which are needed for YAF.NET.
  6. The Consumer Key/Secret needs to be entered in the app.config in your Forum

<add key="YAF.TwitterConsumerKey" value="XXXX" />

<add key="YAF.TwitterConsumerSecret" value="XXXX" />

When Everything is setup correctly a "Login with Twitter" Button should occur on the login page.
