Twitter Feed Module
===================

[](#twitter-feed-module)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Allows you to add a custom styled Twitter feed to any page on your SilverStripe website.

The module uses the new Twitter v1.1 API to grab a specified number of tweets from a specified user, allowing you to output them to custom HTML in a template.

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

[](#installation-instructions)

1. Add the twitter-feed directory to the root of your SS install.
2. Go to  and **Create a new application**. Then click **Create my access token**, you'll then have a key, a token, and a secret for each.
3. Add the following lines to your \_config.php:

    ```
     // Allows you to have a Twitter feed on any page.
     Object::add_extension('Page', 'TwitterFeed');

     // Fill in the following from your Twitter Application:
     TwitterFeed::set_consumer_key('XXXXX');
     TwitterFeed::set_consumer_secret('XXXXX');
     TwitterFeed::set_user_token('XXXXX');
     TwitterFeed::set_user_secret('XXXXX');

     TwitterFeed::set_username('twitter'); // The Twitter username to get the feed from
     TwitterFeed::set_tweetcount('4'); // The max number of tweets to display

    ```
4. Use the included TwitterFeed.ss as an example for creating your HTML for the template. **Important: This basic example is designed to be used as a starting point, and does not meet Twitter's new strict Developer Display Requirements:  Please make sure the way you display the Twitter feed meets these requirments or your Twitter app may be banned.**
