This is based off of this http://www.axllent.org/projects/mytwit

it basically calls your twitter feed

to install

upload the attached file to your sites server

Create a new plugin and use these details

Hook Location = global_start
Title = twitter call
execution order = 5

Plugin PHP Code =
PHP Code:
ob_start();
include(
DIR '/twittercall.php');
$twitter = new myTwit();
$twitter->user 'your twitter name'
$twitter->cacheFile 'twitcache.txt';
$twitter->postLimit 5;
$twitter->initMyTwit();
print 
$twitter->myTwitData;
$latest_twit ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 
where it says your twitter name in the bit of code above, you need to place in the name you use, for example, ours is webprocafe

then place this in your css

/* ***** twitter sidebar ***** */

ul.twitbox {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul.twitbox li{
border-bottom:1px dashed #D2DADA;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 14px;
font-family: 'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;
color: #333333;
}
ul.twitbox li.mytwitHead {
height: 60px;
}
ul.twitbox li.mytwitHead a {
font-size: 22px;
font-weight: bold;
}
ul.twitbox li.mytwitHead img{
float: left;
padding-right: 10px;
}
ul.twitbox li a {
color: #0084B4;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.twitbox li a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }
ul.twitbox span.twhen {
color: #999999;
font-family: georgia;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: italic;
padding-top: 5px;
}
that can be adjusted to however you like

then all you have to do is place

$latest_twit

wherever you want this displayed on the homepage by editing the forumhome template ( sorry, I cant give a specific place yet )

and you should be done

for a demo, please go here http://webprocafe.com/

Anyone who requires help, must have this marked as installed


thank you

there is no need to update if you are having no issues once installed
  • update: added $twitter->cacheFile = 'twitcache.txt'; to make sure it points to the cashe.. a couple of people had issues.. please make sure twittercall.php is set to chmod 777.
