Twitter Block is a lightweight module which allows administrators to create
|
|
20
|
blocks which display embedded timelines.
|
|
21
|
|
|
22
|
Twitter Block will never provide advanced Twitter integration such as OAuth
|
|
23
|
user authentication or the ability to tweet from Drupal. These capabilities are
|
|
24
|
provided by other modules such as Twitter (http://drupal.org/project/twitter).

INSTALLATION
|
|
35
|
------------
|
|
36
|
|
|
37
|
Twitter Block can be installed via the standard Drupal installation process
|
|
38
|
(http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7).

PERMISSIONS
|
|
41
|
------------
|
|
42
|
|
|
43
|
The ability to create, edit and delete Twitter Block blocks relies on the block
|
|
44
|
module's "Administer blocks" permission.
|
|
45
|
|
|
46
|
USAGE
|
|
47
|
-----
|
|
48
|
|
|
49
|
Administrators can visit the Blocks administration page where they can create
|
|
50
|
new Twitter Block blocks and update or delete existing Twitter Block blocks.
|
|
51
|
|
|
52
|
Administrators can also position Twitter Block blocks as they can with standard
|
|
53
|
or custom blocks provided by the core Block module.
|
|
54
|
|
|
55
|
Each Twitter Block block requires a unique widget ID which determines, among
|
|
56
|
other things, the source (user timeline, favourites, list or search) of the
|
|
57
|
tweets to display.
|
|
58
|
|
|
59
|
You can view a list of your existing embedded timeline widgets (and their
|
|
60
|
widget IDs) or create new embedded timeline widgets by visiting
|
|
61
|
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets (make sure that you're logged in).
|
|
62
|
|
|
63
|
You can determine a widget's ID by editing it and inspecting the URL (which
|
|
64
|
should be in the form of https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/WIDGET_ID/edit)
|
|
65
|
or by looking at the widget's embed code (look for
|
|
66
|
data-widget-id="WIDGET_ID").
