Setup

1. Install GNU social

2. Put all files in local/plugins/Qvitter

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

4. It's highly recommended to use the StoreRemoteMedia plugin. It will cache attachments from remote instances locally and make them appear in the streams. Add addPlugin('StoreRemoteMedia'); to your /config.php file. (Only available in newer GNU social)

5. There are settings in QvitterPlugin.php, but for easy updates, put them in config.php instead. Example:

// 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';
$config['site']['qvitter']['sitebackground'] = 'img/vagnsmossen.jpg';
$config['site']['qvitter']['favicon'] = 'img/favicon.ico?v=4';
$config['site']['qvitter']['sprite'] = Plugin::staticPath('Qvitter', '').'img/sprite.png?v=40';
$config['site']['qvitter']['enablewelcometext'] = true;
// $config['site']['qvitter']['customwelcometext']['sv'] = '<h1>Välkommen till Quitter.se – en federerad<sup>1</sup> mikrobloggsallmänning!</h1><p>Etc etc...</p>';
// $config['site']['qvitter']['customwelcometext']['en'] = '<h1>Welcome to Quitter.se – a federated microblog common!</h1><p>Etc etc...</p>';
$config['site']['qvitter']['blocked_ips'] = array();
$config['thumbnail']['maxsize'] = 3000; // recommended setting to get more high-res image previews

The settings should be self-explanatory. In doubt, ask in the !qvitter group on quitter.se, or email h@nnesmannerhe.im
