Installation

Unless otherwise specified, you should always download and install "master" version, which is compatible with all supported versions. Release branches are not supported and may be outdated.

  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'TwitterTag' );

Usage

Currently the extension supports individual tweets, profile timeline and list timeline. Likes timelines are deprecated by Twitter and pages containing them are added to a tracking category since version 1.2.1.

To add a tweet, use following code: ‎<twitter screen-name="screen_name" tweet-id="tweet_id" />

To add a profile timeline, use following code: ‎<twitter screen-name="screen_name" />

To add a list timeline, use following code: ‎<twitter screen-name="screen_name" list-slug="list_slug" />

To add a likes timeline, use following code: ‎<twitter likes-screen-name="screen_name" />

Alternatively, full URL can be provided using parameter href=.

Most parameters provided by Twitter, such as height=, width=, and lang=, are supported.
