Description

Drupal Twitter is a simple-to-use module that allows creation of multiple blocks with Twitter feeds. Each block has independent settings and pulls results from Twitter with the help of public queries or the Twitter REST API. (The OAuth module available at http://drupal.org/project/oauth is required for this.)
The style of the Twitter feed is fully customizable using the drupal-twitter-list.tpl.php template.

Installation

  1. Download and install the module as usual.
  2. Download and install the Oauth module if use of Twitter API is necessary. Go to Administration » Configuration » User interface » Twitter, and configure your access keys there.
  3. Go to Administration » Structure » Blocks, and create a new Twitter block using the “Add twitter block” link.
  4. Configure the block settings with desired Twitter parameters using the on-screen instructions.
