Twitter feed for WordPress
==========================

[](#twitter-feed-for-wordpress)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To make the class available, please add the following to your composer file:

```
"atomicsmash/twitter-feed-wordpress" : "*",
```

Next, create a twitter app and generate your API access keys [here](https://apps.twitter.com/).

Then add these inside your environment specific constants to your wp-config file, filling in the values as appropriate:

```
define('TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY','');
define('TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET','');
define('TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN','');
define('TWITTER_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET','');
```

At the current time you can only have one twitter feed per site however this may be changed in the future.

Pulling Tweets from a Specific User
-----------------------------------

[](#pulling-tweets-from-a-specific-user)

Just add a constant specifying the username:

```
define('TWITTER_USERNAME','');
```

Don't worry about adding the '@' symbol. For example `define('TWITTER_USERNAME','atomicsmash')`

Using feed in theme
-------------------

[](#using-feed-in-theme)

You can query the cached tweets simply by calling the `get` method of the twitterAPI class:

```
if( isset( $twitterAPI ) ){

	$tweets = $twitterAPI->get([
		'results_per_page'	=> 4, 		// int
		'order'			=> 'asc',	// 'asc|desc'
		'tweet_type'		=> 'all'	// 'all|tweet|retweet|reply'
	]);

}
```

ParameterTypeDescription`results_per_page`intThe number of results to show per page`order`string`desc` for newest first, `asc` for oldest`tweet_type`stringOne of `all`, `tweet`, `retweet` or `reply`. What kind of tweets should be returned.Background syncing
------------------

[](#background-syncing)

To sync tweets in background, schedule a cron job to run the command:

```
wp twitter sync_tweets
```

If you are using composer in your project, then your WordPress core files might be inside a subfolder. Please modify the path to reflect this. The cron job might look like this:

```
/usr/local/bin/wp twitter sync_tweets --path=/path/to/www.website.co.uk/wp
```
