Configuration

1.1.1. Creating the Twitter / X Application

Go to the Twitter/X Developer Portal:

https://developer.x.com/

Log in with your Twitter/X account and create a Developer account if you do not already have one.

Create a new Project and App.

Once the application is created, locate the following information in the application settings:

• API Key (Consumer Key)
• API Key Secret (Consumer Secret)

Configure the application's callback URL.

Replace:

https://your-domain.com

by:

https://your-domain.example/tiki/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=Twitter

1.1.2. Configuration in Tiki

Log in to Tiki as an administrator.

Go to:

Administration → Features

or directly:

/tiki-admin.php?page=features

Enable:

Social Networks

and click 'Apply'.

Go to:

Administration → Users & Community → Social Networks

or directly:

/tiki-admin.php?page=socialnetworks

In the 'General' tab, select:

Twitter

from the list of available social networks and click 'Apply'.

Open the 'Settings' tab and locate the 'Twitter' section.

Fill the following fields:

Consumer Key

Enter the API Key provided by Twitter/X.

Example:

ABCDEF123456789XYZ

Consumer Secret

Enter the API Secret provided by Twitter/X.

Example:

1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Social networks login base URL

Enter the URL used by Tiki to receive the authentication callback.

Example:

https://your-domain.example/tiki/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=

For example:

https://your-domain.example/tiki/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=

If Tiki is installed at the web root:

https://your-domain.example/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=

An incorrect value may result in errors such as:

No route found

or

Not Found

during the authentication process.

Twitter login allowed?

Check:

Twitter login allowed?

Twitter auto-create user?

Check:

Twitter auto-create user?

This allows Tiki to automatically create a local user account when a user logs in with Twitter/X for the first time.

Click 'Apply'.

Administration → Users & Community → Social Networks → Settings → Twitter

Testing the Configuration

Log out of Tiki.

Open:

tiki-login.php

You should see a button similar to:

Login via Twitter

or

Login via X

Click the button and authorize the application on Twitter/X.

If authentication succeeds:

• The user is logged into Tiki.
• A local Tiki account is automatically created (if auto-create is enabled).
• Subsequent logins will use the same Tiki account.

Troubleshooting

Error: No route found

This usually indicates that the callback URL is incorrect.

Verify:

Social networks login base URL

matches the actual installation path of your Tiki instance.

Example:

https://example.org/tiki/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=

instead of:

https://example.org/tiki-login_hybridauth.php?provider=

when Tiki is installed in a /tiki subdirectory.

Error: Not Found

Verify:

• The file tiki-login_hybridauth.php exists.
• The callback URL is correct.
• Apache rewrite rules are properly configured.
• The Twitter/X callback URL exactly matches the one configured in Tiki.

Error: Authentication succeeds but login fails

Verify:

• PHP sessions are working correctly.
• HTTPS is consistently used.
• Social Networks feature is enabled.
• Twitter auto-create user is enabled if new users should be created automatically.

• Module Facebook
• Social Networks
