Mephisto Twitter
Twitter Status plugin for Mephisto
A quick edit of Dan Webb’s (http://www.danwebb.net) lastfm plugin to give you a nice little liquid tag for your templates to display your twitter status or a few other timelines in your mephisto blog.
Usage
To display your statuses, you’d want to do something like this…
{% twittertimeline user: ‘username’, type: ‘user_timeline’ as status %} {{ status.text }} – {{ status.relative_created_at }} {% endtwittertimeline %}
Check out http://twitter.com/help/api for more information on all the attributes of each status. You can also use {{ twittertimeline.index }} to reference what index number your at in the loop.
You can display a few other timelines as well. Try replacing user_timeline with friends_timeline or friends. Currently, these are the only timelines supported because the followers timeline needs some basic auth that I haven’t implimented yet. Caching should work too. You can change try and change the value in twitter.rb for @@expire_cache_every if you wish cache to auto flush quicker or not so quick. In the future, I’m going to look into implimenting the the basic auth stuff and maybe even a way to update your status via your blog. We’ll see
Most of the credit for this plugin has to go to Dan Webb. Head on over to http://www.danwebb.net to check out his blog and his work. This plugin was pretty much just a very quick edit of his lastfm plugin (which also works great, btw).
