GG Twitter

Description

Lets you display a twitter feed in a sidebar widget.
Caches last successful tweet retrieval and only updates if it successfully gets a new list from Twitter.

There are various configuration options including:

• Title
• Twitter Username
• Max Tweets to Display
• HTML to override the View All link
• Time Placement (whether or not the timestamp should appear before or after the tweet)
• Time Format (uses PHP’s date() function for formatting)
