TwitterX v1.3.2

This uses twitteroauth: https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth

This package loads Twitter feeds using the new (and very annoying) Twitter 1.1 API. You will need to create a Twitter app here:

https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new

Once you've created your new application you will need to generate tokens and use those tokens when you call the TwitterX snippet which will load your statuses:

Snippet TwitterX

This should be called uncached if you are using :ago in the chunk otherwise it can be cached.

[[!TwitterX? &twitter_consumer_key=aaaa &twitter_consumer_secret=bbbb &twitter_access_token=cccc &twitter_access_token_secret=dddd &limit=4 &timeline=user_timeline &chunk=TwitterXTpl &cache=7200 &screen_name=Qodo,Microsoft &include_rts=1 ]]

  • twitter_consumer_key - your twitter consumer token (REQUIRED)
  • twitter_consumer_secret - your twitter consumer secret (REQUIRED)
  • twitter_access_token - your twitter access token (REQUIRED)
  • twitter_access_token_secret - your twitter access token secret (REQUIRED)
  • limit - limit how many statuses to display (default: 5)
  • timeline - which twitter timeline to load (default: user_timeline, retweeted_by_me etc)
  • chunk - which chunk to load when rendering the statuses (default: TwitterXTpl)
  • cache - how many seconds to cache the twitter data feed (default: 7200)
  • screen_name - which user you want to load
  • include_rts - should this include retweets (default: 1)
  • cache_id - unique ID for caching in case you want to view multiple feeds or different feeds (default: TwitterX_PAGEID)
  • toPlaceholder - a placeholder ID if you want to use content as a placeholder instead of outputting directly (default: '')
  • toPlaceholderPrefix - if you want to prefix the placeholder values. E.g. 'twitterx' would create placeholders like [[*twitterx.text]] (default: '')
  • slug - for when loading a twitter list, you must specify a screen_name and a slug (default: '')

Loading timelines

As the 1.1 API is more restrictive the tweets available have changed. The snippet defaults to user_time line but you can load any of these:

  • public_timeline
  • public_timeline
  • friends_timeline
  • user_timeline
  • mentions
  • retweets_of_me
  • favourites

Loading lists ** New as of 1.3 **

You can now load lists by using the following:

&timeline=`lists/statuses`
&slug=`NAME_OF_YOUR_SLUG`
&screen_name=`SCREEN_NAME_OF_LIST_OWNER`

An example of this would be the MODX List: https://twitter.com/modx/the-modx-team

&timeline=`lists/statuses`
&slug=`the-modx-team`
&screen_name=`modx`

Searching Twitter

TwitterX now supports basic Twitter searches using the &search parameter:

&search=MODX

Snippet TwitterXFormat

Use this snippet in your chunk placeholders to format the status text and automatically link any search, usernames or topics:

[[+text:TwitterXFormat]]

Chunk options

The package comes with a chunk for displaying the statuses called 'TwitterXTpl'. You can customise this by using the following placeholders:

  • created_at - date status was created
  • source - source of the Tweet (application like web, iOS etc)
  • id - status id on timeline
  • id_str - status id on Twitter (twitter.com/user/statuses/id_str)
  • text - status main text
  • name - Twitter name
  • screen_name - Twitter username
  • profile_image_url - Twitter avatar image url for this user
  • location - This users location
  • url - This users URL (if specified)
  • description - This users profile information

Retweets (where applicable)

  • retweet_created_at - date status was created
  • retweet_source - source of the Tweet (application like web, iOS etc)
  • retweet_id - status id on timeline
  • retweet_id_str - status id on Twitter (twitter.com/user/statuses/id_str)
  • retweet_text - status main text
  • retweet_name - Twitter name
  • retweet_screen_name - Twitter username
  • retweet_profile_image_url - Twitter avatar image url for this user
  • retweet_location - This users location
  • retweet_url - This users URL (if specified)
  • retweet_description - This users profile information
