Zitat:MyTwitter Connect
MyTwitter Connect is a plugin which lets you login and register through Twitter on any MyBB installation.

After releasing MyFacebook Connect I've decided to keep up with social development and have a look at the Twitter counterpart. In a few days I've managed to adapt MFC to Twitter's API and today I'm glad to announce the stable release of MyTwitter Connect.

It's very similar to MyFacebook Connect, but since Twitter doesn't let us fetch any email with the current version of the REST API, MyTwitter Connect can't check for existing users comparing the emails.

As an admin and exactly like with MyFacebook Connect, you can decide to use two different types of registration: Fast Registration lets you register through Twitter with only one click and one front-end redirect. This means that every user who would like to login into your board and he doesn't have a registered account will be registered and logged in with a single click of a button. A fictional email will be generated using his Twitter ID and the board's name to prevent the datahandler to fail the validation process. If he has already an account and he's already linked as well, he'll be just logged in.

With Fast Registration option disabled, every user who hasn't got a registered account and logs in with Twitter will be prompted to choose a new username and an email address. By default, inputs will be filled with his existing Twitter data but they'll be able to choose whatever username and email they'll want. In addition to this they'll be asked to select what data to import from Twitter, respecting their privacy in a better way than the simple one-click registration process.

Thanks to all the guys who tested my plugin and thanks to all of them who will test my future versions.
