NOTE: If you were contributing to the 0.70.x version of this extension, please make sure you are using the 0_70_stable branch, as this branch has recently been forced push to in order to release the 1.0.x extension rewrite.

Core for all Social media related functionality for Spree. The Spree Social gem handles authorization, account creation and association through social media sources such as, Twitter and Facebook. This requires the edge source of Spree. This gem is beta at best and should be treated as such. Features and code base will change rapidly as this is under active development. Use with caution.

Setup for Production

Add this to your gem file Gemfile

gem "spree_social", :git => "git://github.com/spree/spree_social.git"

bundle update

bundle exec rake spree_social:install

rake db:migrate

Spree Setup to Utilize OAuth Sources

Login as an admin user and navigate to Configuration > Social Authentication Methods

Click on the New Authentication Method button to enter the key obtained from their respective source (See below for instructions on setting up the various providers)

Multiple key entries can now be entered based on the rails environment. This allows for portability and the lack of need to check in your key to your repository. You also have the ability to enable and disable sources. These setting will be reflected on the client UI as well.

You do not need to restart your application after configuring or updating an authentication method.
