Hi, Take a look at the sidebar on http://www.johnchow.com/how-to-get-more-text-link-sales/ There is a section for recent tweets. Does anyone recognize which Wordpress plugin. Thanks
there are several wordpress plugins that can do this with twitter, what ones have you tried? I think one that works is called "tweetthis" but it could be done with an RSS widget as well
Considering it's loading 2 javascripts and there's a link, it;s probably just something he threw together. If you link your twitter account, should take 5 seconds.
A simple google search can give you lots of list. like: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-tweets/
Thanks, just noticed that. I'd like to see if I can find the official source for this, I thought we couldn't call scripts/php from wordpress sidebar widgets.
Maybe you mean wordpress.com text sidebar widgets? Please remember WordPress is the software that you download and host yourself. Wordpress.com is the hosting service. They are different. Hardcoding the javascripts into a new widget takes like a couple of seconds. Heck take longer to upload the file probably. That's though for the WordPress software that you host yourself. As for an official source, I was the support forum moderator for wp.com and the wordpress multiuser support forums for about 2 years until I saw the light as to what a person Matt really is and got the hell out of there. If you want to do it yourself, give this a read: http://www.lonewolfdesigns.co.uk/create-wordpress-widgets/ You probably should rename the functions to more twitter like names but the 2 javascripts and the link go in where the echo is in the sampleHelloWorld() function.
You can also test this one plugin - wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rf-twitterpost/ and also I use this RSS2twitter - rss2twitter.com/
Just in case you want to display it manually and not using widget, here's how : Get & Display Latest Tweets using Javascript
