Twitter Block is a lightweight module which allows administrators to create
|
| 21 |
|
|
blocks which display embedded timelines.
|
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
Twitter Block will never provide advanced Twitter integration such as OAuth
|
| 24 |
|
|
user authentication or the ability to tweet from Drupal. These capabilities are
|
| 25 |
|
|
provided by other modules such as Twitter (http://drupal.org/project/twitter).

INSTALLATION
|
| 36 |
|
|
------------
|
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
Twitter Block can be installed via the standard Drupal installation process
|
| 39 |
|
|
(http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7).

PERMISSIONS
|
| 42 |
|
|
------------
|
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
The ability to create, edit and delete Twitter Block blocks relies on the block
|
| 45 |
|
|
module's "Administer blocks" permission.
|
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
USAGE
|
| 48 |
|
|
-----
|
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
Administrators can visit the Blocks administration page where they can create
|
| 51 |
|
|
new Twitter Block blocks and update or delete existing Twitter Block blocks.
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
Administrators can also position Twitter Block blocks as they can with standard
|
| 54 |
|
|
or custom blocks provided by the core Block module.
|
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
Each Twitter Block block requires a unique widget ID which determines, among
|
| 57 |
|
|
other things, the source (user timeline, favourites, list or search) of the
|
| 58 |
|
|
tweets to display.
|
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
You can view a list of your existing embedded timeline widgets (and their
|
| 61 |
|
|
widget IDs) or create new embedded timeline widgets by visiting
|
| 62 |
|
|
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets (make sure that you're logged in).
|
| 63 |
|
|
|
| 64 |
|
|
You can determine a widget's ID by editing it and inspecting the URL (which
|
| 65 |
|
|
should be in the form of https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/WIDGET_ID/edit)
|
| 66 |
|
|
or by looking at the widget's embed code (look for
|
| 67 |
|
|
data-widget-id="WIDGET_ID").

|
|
Embedded Timelines offer a number of customization options such as theme, layout
|
| 73 |
|
|
and border color but, due to the way embedded timelines are implemented, custom
|
| 74 |
|
|
theming using CSS can be difficult.
|
| 75 |
|
|
|
| 76 |
|
|
To add custom CSS to embedded timelines check out the
