Gnome Tweets

Gnome Tweets is a simple Twitter module for Joomla. Its simple, it pulls the RSS feed from twitter and displays the tweets in a plain unordered list. This means your template will provide the default styles, and it doesn't try to 'skin' anything for you.

Keep it simple and try this Joomla Twitter module.

Features

• Easy installation through Control Panel
• Can follow any public Twitter timeline
• Display 1-20 of the latest tweets
• Easy to style
• Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6+ compatible

Installation

To install first download the file from here if you have not already. Then log into the administrator and go to the Extensions menu->Install/Uninstall. From this spot you can install the module by clicking Browse and locating the file. Then click Upload and Install. It will install the module by default as disabled in the left position. So you need to go to the Extensions->Module Manager area and locate the new module called 'Tweets Module' and click on the title. Here you can edit the parameters, such as the number of tweets, the user name, and the cache time. Make sure that you enable the module and put it in the module position you desire. Save and view!
