Twitterfeed

Twitterfeed is a WordPress plugin that gives you a Twitter feed without any styling.

It uses Twitter-API-1.1-Client-for-Wordpress to connect to the Twitter API and uses kwi-urllinker to find URL's in the tweets and turn them into links. It uses Mustache to render te templates.

  1. Install this plugin with Composer by running composer require baardbaard/bb-twitterfeed or add it to your project's composer.json, like this:
    {
        "require": {
            "baardbaard/bb-twitterfeed": "0.5"
        }
     }
    
    Make sure require the autoload.php that's generated by Composer somewhere in your project. wp-config.php would be a good location.. You can also download this plugin and run composer install in the root of this plugin's folder.
  2. Create a Twitter app and get your credentials at https://dev.twitter.com/apps.
  3. Enter your Twitter key and secret in the WordPress Dashboard: Settings > Twitterfeed.
  4. Add and activate the plugin and use the following code in your template:
<?php 
$twitterfeed->create_feed( array(
	'user' => 'baardbaard',
	'number_of_tweets' => 5, // optional
	'profile_image_size' => 'mini|normal|bigger|original', // optional, normal = default
) );
?>

Or you can also use the shortcode:

// Add this to your page/post/widget in your WYSIWYG editor.
[twitterfeed user="baardbaard" number_of_tweets="3" profile_image_size="bigger"]

// Or use this in your template files.
echo do_shortcode( '[twitterfeed user="baardbaard" number_of_tweets="3" profile_image_size="bigger"]' );

The output looks something like this:

<ul class="tweets">
	<li class="tweet">
		<a href="https://www.twitter.com/baardbaard" class="tweet__user-photo"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/545552771378712577/gST9ZRmm_normal.jpeg"></a>
		<a href="https://www.twitter.com/baardbaard" class="tweet__user">Stef Thoen</a>
		<span class="tweet__content">“Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Yesterday, you said tomorrow.”</span>
		<span class="tweet__time">about 4 days ago</span>
	</li>
</ul><!-- /.tweets -->

Roadmap

  • Make CSS classes replaceable with custom classes
  • Use caching to save tweets
  • Rewrite to use PSR-2
