Setup

1. Install GNU Social

2. Put all files in /plugins/Qvitter

3. Replace your lib/apiauthaction.php file with the one supplied in edited-gnu-social-files/lib/apiauthaction.php. (not needed if you are running the latest GNU Social nightly!)

4. Add addPlugin('Qvitter'); to your /config.php file.

5. There are a few settings in /plugins/Qvitter/QvitterPlugin.php. By default Qvitter is opt-out for users. If you set $settings['enabledbydefault'] = false; Qvitter will be opt-in instead.

6. Users can go to ://{instance}/settings/qvitter and enable or disable Qvitter.

Optional

For easy updates, you can use /config.php to override the settings in /plugins/Qvitter/QvitterPlugin.php. For example, add this to your /config.php file:

// Qvitter-settings
$config['site']['qvitter']['enabledbydefault'] = true;
$config['site']['qvitter']['defaultbackgroundcolor'] = '#f4f4f4';
$config['site']['qvitter']['defaultlinkcolor'] = '#0084B4';
$config['site']['qvitter']['timebetweenpolling'] = 5000;
$config['site']['qvitter']['urlshortenerapiurl'] = 'http://qttr.at/yourls-api.php';	
$config['site']['qvitter']['urlshortenersignature'] = 'b6afeec983';	

Note: Qvitter is tested with GNU Social version 1.1.1-alpha2 (7e47026085fa4f2071e694d9c3e3fe2aa5142135).
