Twitter Addon

Main authors Tobias Diekershoff, Michael Vogel and Hypolite Petovan.

To use this addon you have to register an application for your Friendica instance on Twitter. Register your Friendica site as "Client" application with "Read & Write" access we do not need "Twitter as login". Please leave the field "Callback URL" empty. When you've registered the app you get the OAuth Consumer key and secret pair for your application/site.

After the registration please enter the values for "Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" in the administration.

'addons' => [
	...
	'twitter' => [
		admin => true,			
	],
]

Add your key pair to your config/twitter.config.php file.
