SpreeSocial

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", :path => "../spree_social"

bundle update

rake spree_social:install

rake db:migrate

Spree Setup to Utilize OAuth Sources

Login as an admin user and navigate to Configuration > Social Network Providers

Click on the New Provider 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.

Please note that you will still need to restart you server after entering you keys. This is required otherwise Devise and OmniAuth will not have the key pair available to them for use. Also if you are running Spree with SSL, make sure you setup you applications at the social network of you choice EXACTLY as it in seen in the browser, OAuth will fail if it experiences a local redirect through the various handshakes (e.g. if you have https://www.example.com as your domain for SSL, that is the URL that need to be uses as the domain at the OAuth source of your choice).
