Got an error while authenticating

[gbirke]

I've followed the steps in the readme: installed module, added config and set my API key and secret. When trying to authenticate with Twitter, I get the following error message:

Error: Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'

Hi - this will be related to one of the config options in your Twitter Application on https://apps.twitter.com/

You have it configured as a Desktop application. I can't remember the right option and am not currently able to go find out. See if you have tinker with the options to find the right bit to set. If you do manage to track it down before I'm able to look properly, please let me know and we can update the readme to make it clear.

Hi, I have installed Node-RED on Windows and installed node-red-auth-twitter. I have added the adminAuth code in the settings.js file after creating a twitter app and obtaining key/secret. But when I run npm start I get an error. I have tried various syntax combinations to try and overcome the error, can you shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

`C:\Users\anwar\node-red>npm start

[email protected] start C:\Users\anwar\node-red
node red.js

I am not doing anything to functionGlobalContext, just pasted the code exactly as shown...

I placed to code directly below the //Securing Node-RED comments

Make sure there is a comma separating adminAuth and functionGlobalContext

(And please don't post questions to unrelated issues. Use the node-red forum for general help.. link on the website.)

Hi, Apologies for posting here instead of node-red forum, I placed a comma after the final bracket, and now the program runs - much obliged :)

Kind Regards
