WebNuggetz Twitter Feeds: The Settings Manual

How to use the twitter feed codes on WebNuggetz

Lesley wrote an amazing post on the new Twitter Feed feature that allows you to publish a Twitter feed right inside your WebNuggetz posts. You can see Lesley’s post here  http://www.webnuggetz.com/twitter-feeds-inside-your-post-pages/

 

Examples can be found on this post: http://www.webnuggetz.com/twitter-feeds-inside-your-post-pages-examples/

Lesley gave some great examples. In this post, I am going to list the options that you have when entering your Twitter Feed short code. You have a total of 12 options to customize the look, feel, and behavior of your Twitter feed:

They are:

  1. Search term (term)
  2. Type (type)
  3. Number of Posts (number)
  4. Border Size (bordersize)
  5. Border Type (bordertype)
  6. Border Color  (bordercolor)
  7. Background color  (backgroundcolor)
  8. Link Color  (linkcolor)
  9. Link Size  (linksize)
  10. New Window  (newwindow)
  11. Show Twitter Photos  (showtwitterphotos)
  12. Ignore Retweets  (ignoreretweets)
The text in the parentheses are what you can enter into your tweet codes.

From Lesley’s post, we have a great example which is

Search Term (Required)

  • You can enter any keyword that you would search for on Twitter. This is required. Without it, you post will show no tweets.

Number of Posts (Optional / Default 3 / Maximum 10)

  • How To Use: number=”10″
  • This setting is optional. If you leave it out, 3 tweets will be displayed.
  • This is the number of tweets that can be published. This number can be any number you want, but it may be limited what Twitter returns. Also, our program will automatically cut it off at 10, so if you exceed this number, you only get 10.
Border Size (Optional / Default 1)
  • How To Use: bordersize=”3″
  • This must be entered as a number.
  • If you leave it out, the default border size will be 1.
Border Type (Optional / Default “solid”)
  • How To Use: bordertype=”solid”
  • You must enter one of these values: solid, dotted, dashed, or double
Border Color (Optional / Default “gold”)
  • How To Use: bordercolor=”red” or bordercolor=”#FF0000″
  • You can enter an English color name or for your web designers out there, you can enter one of 16 million hex values for your color.
Background Color (Optional / Default “white”)
  • How To Use: backgroundcolor=”red” or backgroundcolor=”#FF0000″
  • You can enter an English color name or for your web designers out there, you can enter one of 16 million hex values for your color.
Link Color (Optional / Default “blue”)
  • How To Use: linkcolor=”red” or linkcolor=”#FF0000″
  • You can enter an English color name or for your web designers out there, you can enter one of 16 million hex values for your color.
Link Size (Optional / Default “medium”) – The size of your links.
  • How To Use: linksize=”large”
  • You must enter one of these values: small, medium, or large
Ignore Retweets (Optional / Default “no”)
  • How To Use: ignoreretweets=”yes”
  • You must enter one of these values: yes or no.
  • Explanation: Some people want original tweets. This setting, if set to yes, will ignore anyone’s retweets. This setting, however, may lessen the number of tweets that display based on what you entered in your number settings.
Open in a New Window (Optional / Default “yes”)
  • How To Use: newwindow=”yes”
  • You must enter one of these values: yes or no.
  • Explanation: This setting gives you the option of opening the tweet in a new window (or tab on some web browsers).
Show Twitter Photos  (Optional / Default “yes”)
  • How To Use: showtwitterphotos=”yes”
  • You must enter one of these values: yes or no.
  • Explanation: This setting is a cool one. It allows you turn on or turn off the twitter icons for the Twitter members who wrote that tweet. The icons will also link to the Tweet.
Note about the search type. This setting is in development right now and is not available, but our plans are to allow you to specify whether to use tweets from a keyword or tweets from a Twitter user.
That is it. We are working on new options all the time for this. I look forward to your comment.
