- Use the NICKNAME_FMT constant for detecting nicknames.

Prerequisites
=============
of registered users.
* xmppconfirmhandler.php - sends confirmation messages to registered
users.
-* twitterqueuehandler.php - sends queued notices to Twitter for user
- who have opted to set up Twitter bridging.
-* facebookqueuehandler.php - sends queued notices to Facebook for users
- of the built-in Facebook application.
Note that these queue daemons are pretty raw, and need your care. In
particular, they leak memory, and you may want to restart them on a
config section below for how to configure to use STOMP. As of this
writing, the software has been tested with ActiveMQ (
-Twitter Bridge
---------------
-
-* OAuth
-
-As of 0.8.1, OAuth is used to to access protected resources on Twitter
-instead of HTTP Basic Auth. To use Twitter bridging you will need
-to register your instance of StatusNet as an application on Twitter
-(http://twitter.com/apps), and update the following variables in your
-config.php with the consumer key and secret Twitter generates for you:
-
- $config['twitter']['consumer_key'] = 'YOURKEY';
- $config['twitter']['consumer_secret'] = 'YOURSECRET';
-
-When registering your application with Twitter set the type to "Browser"
-and your Callback URL to:
-
- http://example.org/mublog/twitter/authorization
-
-The default access type should be, "Read & Write".
-
-* Importing statuses from Twitter
-
-To allow your users to import their friends' Twitter statuses, you will
-need to enable the bidirectional Twitter bridge in config.php:
-
- $config['twitterbridge']['enabled'] = true;
-
-and run the TwitterStatusFetcher daemon (scripts/twitterstatusfetcher.php).
-Additionally, you will want to set the integration source variable,
-which will keep notices posted to Twitter via StatusNet from looping
-back. The integration source should be set to the name of your
-application, exactly as you specified it on the settings page for your
-StatusNet application on Twitter, e.g.:
-
- $config['integration']['source'] = 'YourApp';
-
-* Twitter Friends Syncing
-
-Users may set a flag in their settings ("Subscribe to my Twitter friends
-here" under the Twitter tab) to have StatusNet attempt to locate and
-subscribe to "friends" (people they "follow") on Twitter who also have
-accounts on your StatusNet system, and who have previously set up a link
-for automatically posting notices to Twitter.
-
-As of 0.8.0, this is no longer accomplished via a cron job. Instead you
-must run the SyncTwitterFriends daemon (scripts/synctwitterfreinds.php).
-
-Built-in Facebook Application
------------------------------
-
-StatusNet's Facebook application allows your users to automatically
-update their Facebook statuses with their latest notices, invite
-their friends to use the app (and thus your site), view their notice
-timelines, and post notices -- all from within Facebook. The application
-is built into StatusNet and runs on your host. For automatic Facebook
-status updating to work you will need to enable queuing and run the
-facebookqueuehandler.php daemon (see the "Queues and daemons" section
-above).
-
-Quick setup instructions*:
-
-Install the Facebook Developer application on Facebook:
-
- http://www.facebook.com/developers/
-
-Use it to create a new application and generate an API key and secret.
-Uncomment the Facebook app section of your config.php and copy in the
-key and secret, e.g.:
-
- # Config section for the built-in Facebook application
- $config['facebook']['apikey'] = 'APIKEY';
- $config['facebook']['secret'] = 'SECRET';
-
-In Facebook's application editor, specify the following URLs for your app:
-
-- Canvas Callback URL: http://example.net/mublog/facebook/
-- Post-Remove Callback URL: http://example.net/mublog/facebook/remove
-- Post-Add Redirect URL: http://apps.facebook.com/yourapp/
-- Canvas Page URL: http://apps.facebook.com/yourapp/
-
-(Replace 'example.net' with your host's URL, 'mublog' with the path
-to your StatusNet installation, and 'yourapp' with the name of the
-Facebook application you created.)
-
-Additionally, Choose "Web" for Application type in the Advanced tab.
-In the "Canvas setting" section, choose the "FBML" for Render Method,
-"Smart Size" for IFrame size, and "Full width (760px)" for Canvas Width.
-Everything else can be left with default values.
-
-*For more detailed instructions please see the installation guide on the
-StatusNet wiki:

Sitemaps
--------
Notice inboxes
--------------
-Before version 0.6.2, the page showing all notices from people the
-user is subscribed to ("so-and-so with friends") was calculated at run
-time. Starting with 0.6.2, we have a new data structure for holding a
-user's "notice inbox". (Note: distinct from the "message inbox", which
-is the "inbox" tab in the UI. The notice inbox appears under the
-"Personal" tab.)
-
-Notices are added to the inbox when they're created. This speeds up
-the query considerably, and also allows us the opportunity, in the
-future, to add different kind of notices to an inbox -- like @-replies
-or subscriptions to search terms or hashtags.
-
-Notice inboxes are enabled by default for new installations. If you
-are upgrading an existing site, this means that your users will see
-empty "Personal" pages. The following steps will help you fix the
-problem.
-
-0. $config['inboxes']['enabled'] can be set to one of three values. If
- you set it to 'false', the site will work as before. Support for this
- will probably be dropped in future versions.
-1. Setting the flag to 'transitional' means that you're in transition.
- In this mode, the code will run the "new query" or the "old query"
- based on whether the user's inbox has been updated.
-2. After setting the flag to "transitional", you can run the
- fixup_inboxes.php script to create the inboxes. You may want to set
- the memory limit high. You can re-run it without ill effect.
-3. When fixup_inboxes is finished, you can set the enabled flag to
- 'true'.
-
-NOTE: As of version 0.8.1 notice inboxes are automatically trimmed back
- to ~1000 notices every once in a while.
-
-NOTE: we will drop support for non-inboxed sites in the 0.9.x version
-of StatusNet. It's time to switch now!
+Notice inboxes are now required. If you don't have inboxes enabled,
+StatusNet will no longer run.
UTF-8 Database
--------------
the service, *then* set this variable to 'true'.
inviteonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registration if the user
was invited by an existing user.
-openidonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registrations and logins
- through OpenID.
private: If set to 'true', anonymous users will be redirected to the
'login' page. Also, API methods that normally require no
authentication will require it. Note that this does not turn
dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
or UI error.
+textlimit: default max size for texts in the site. Defaults to 140.
+ 0 means no limit. Can be fine-tuned for notices, messages,
+ profile bios and group descriptions.
db
--
with new installations, but older sites may want to turn it off
until they get their databases fixed up. See "UTF-8 database"
above for details.
+schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
+ tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
+ or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
+ schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
+ queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
+ run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
+ scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
+ plugin.
syslog

- links to your site.
taguri: base for tag:// URIs. Defaults to site-server + ',2009'.
