Twitter Block is brilliant at displaying embedded timelines and that’s it. For more details go to the documentation page and search for “Tweet limit”. This limit is set by Twitter and not by the module. Change the “Tweet limit” drop-down list on the block edit page to display more tweets.
Now if we go to the homepage, we should see the block.īy default, the module displays a single tweet, but in the next release it’ll default to “Auto” (view issue for more details). Paste the ID into the “Widget ID” field, enter a block description and click on “Save Block”.Īssign the block to a region and then click on “Save blocks”. Go to Structure -> Blocks and click on “Add Twitter block”. Now that we have created our widget, and we have the widget ID, it is time to use Twitter Block to display the timeline. Or you can get the ID from the text area that has the embedded HTML code, just search for the data-widget-id attribute. Just grab the long ID number after /widgets. You can copy the ID directly from the URL after creating the widget. The next thing you need to do is get the widget ID that we need for the module. Once you have configured the widget click on “Create widget”. Log into and go to Settings -> Widgets (make sure you’re logged in) and create a widget. Just download and install Twitter Block and make sure you install the core Block module. The biggest benefit to using Twitter Block is the ability to configure a timeline’s options using a form.Īlso, if you’re going to allow users to copy HTML code into a block, they need access to the “Full HTML” text format, which could be a security issue. The module offers a few benefits over just copying HTML code into a block. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to display an embedded timeline using the Twitter Block module. You can add a timeline in two ways: copy the generated HTML code into a block or use the Twitter Block module. To create a timeline log in to Twitter and go to Settings -> Widgets, click on “Create new” and define your timeline.
Not only can you use them to display tweets, but you can also use them to display search results, favorites and lists. The simplest way to display a list of tweets is to use Twitter’s embedded timelines. Setting up OAuth is a pain, if all you want to do is display a list of tweets. They recently changed their API over to v1.1, and now require all requests to be authenticated using OAuth. Twitter seems to be making it harder and harder to pull your own content out of their ecosystem.
