============

[](#philetwitter)

Parse content and wrap Twitter mentions and hashtags

### Features

[](#features)

- wrap `@` mentions
- wrap `#` tags
- control output (title, target, class name)

### 1.1 Installation (composer)

[](#11-installation-composer)

```
php composer.phar require phile/twitter:*

```

### 1.2 Installation (Download)

[](#12-installation-download)

- Install [Phile](https://github.com/PhileCMS/Phile)
- Clone this repo into `plugins/phile/twitter`

### 2. Activation

[](#2-activation)

After you have installed the plugin. You need to add the following line to your `config.php` file:

```
$config['plugins']['phile\\twitter'] = array('active' => true);
``

### Markdown Usage

All you have to do is use the `@` and `#` signs like you normally would in a tweet.

#### Basic Examples:

Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out.

```html
You can now mention twitter people like @james2doyle or even use hash tags like #philecms.

```

Output:

```
You can now mention twitter people like @james2doyle or even use hash tags like #philecms.
```

#### Config

[](#config)

Here are the settings. See the above output for where everything goes.

```
'class' => 'twitter-link', // class to apply to the a tag, false is off
'target' => '_blank', // target for the a tag, false is off
'title' => true, // show a title on the a tag, false is off

```

### Why Use?

[](#why-use)

Clients are crazy. You want to make sure the HTML output is good and not a huge mess. It is a pretty good selling point for some people too. Doing things `automagically` always is.
