Included Blocks
- timeline -- Allows you to display public or a user timeline within a block
Included Hooks
- Create -- Allows a status update to be sent from the site account when new items are created. The hook allows you to send an update for content created by all users, or just items created by the site account owner. Status will include a link to the new item. You can optionally specify a field to include an excerpt from.
In these cases, the Twitter module provides the hook functionality.
Included Dynamic Data Properties
- Twitter provides a twitterscreenname property
- Add a twitterscreenname property to the Roles Users dynamicdata object. Once added your users will be able to enter an account name and password. Their Twitter profile will display in their user account profile, and will also be listed in the Users tab (if you enable it in Module Modify Config).
