Libraries

gplus2others uses a few external libraries and due to the way Google App Engine deals with this, you'll need to deploy those along with the app. As of version 1.7.4 of Google Appengine SDK, the $GOPATH environment variable is respected so you can install the libraries as usual with go get.

The libraries expected are:

• robteix.com/v1/fblib
• robteix.com/v1/tweetlib
• robteix.com/v1/adnlib
• code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth
• code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client

Simply go get them and you should be fine. For example:

go get robteix/v1/tweetlib
go get code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth
...

Setting it up

You will need to create a configuration file with information from apps you create on Twitter and Facebook and your Google API access credentials.

1. Go to https://code.google.com/apis/console and request access to the Google+ API. Set up your redirect_uri to http://your-domain.com/oauth2callback and appropriate alternatives (say http://localhost:8080/oauth2callback)

2. Now go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create a new app. This is the app that will write on your Facebook wall on behalf of gplus2others. Again, take note of the app ID and Secret.

3. Visit https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new and create a new app. Not surprisingly, that's the app that will post to your twitter feed on behalf of gplus2others.

4. Create a file named config.json on the app root directory and set up all of the fields, like this:

    {
     "FacebookAppId" : "123456789012345",
     "FacebookAppSecret" : "abedcaefddca26db75a9199bc480789a32f42c",
     "GoogleClientId" : "1234567890.apps.googleusercontent.com",
     "GoogleClientSecret" : "1fKTqZBAadWyrFM-W3c_J1Pa",
     "TwitterConsumerKey" : "4legr0KASbkS2cyb0RgcsYH",
     "TwitterConsumerSecret" : "bfg69KxZHrs28ZyCeQr3tVoL4qUlggoS0nQyflwa3",
     "AppHost" : "gplus2others.appspot.com",
     "AppDomain" : "gplus2others.appspot.com",
     "SessionStoreKey" : "some-key-to-encrypt-cookies"
    }
   

5. That should be it. Upload it to appengine and have fun.
