This feature allows your clients to display their twitter feed within any of their listings. Highlights of the twitter feed addon:
As this feature is in an addon to use this feature you must first install and enable the Twitter Feed addon within the admin tool here:
ADDONS > MANAGE ADDONS
Once installed and enabled you manage the settings mentioned above for this feature here within the admin tool:
ADDONS > TWITTER FEED > SETTINGS
The following is a screenshot of that admin tool:
The "default href" and "default widget-data-id" allow you to display your default twitter feed if the seller does not insert theirs. When you create a twitter timeline code to display that feed in your site you would go to your twitter account details and get code like this:
<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/someone" data-widget-id="123456789015987">Tweets by @someone</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){ js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}} (document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
within that code you'll see the "href" and "data-widget-id" values. You would pull those values and place them within your "default href" and "default data-widget-id" fields of your twitter feed addon admin tool.
This feature will ONLY work in the listing detail template. By default those pages use the following details templates:
listing_auction.tpl listing_classified.tpl
and by default the following tag is within those templates to display the twitter timeline:
{addon author='geo_addons' addon='twitter_feed' tag='show_feed'}
So start using this addon and check your listing. You will only see something if you have inserted the default account value for your twitter account so set that first. Once you get something to display you can then return to the above admin tool and change the look. Your twitter feed will display if the client does not insert their twitter account details when placing that listing. The seller will have a chance to set their twitter feed account number within the place a listing process. It will be one of the options on the "listing extras" section/page of that process.
If you want this feature to display somewhere else on your site you'll need to simply insert the twitter feed code you got from your twitter account and place it manually within your design where you wanted that to appear.
There is no configuration within the software to only display your own Twitter feed and NOT the customers…using this addon. If that's all you wish to do then it would be best for you to place an embeddable feed directly into the client-side design where you want that feed to appear and bypass this addon altogether. To do that just go to the following to start that process:
