Twitter Tracker free WordPress plugin
Description
A widget, Twitter Search Tracker, which allows you to specify and display a Twitter search (or a Twitter hashtag) in your sidebar. Twitter searches are very flexible, and you can display anything from Hashtags to individual, or aggregated Twitter streams. Another widget, Twitter Profile Tracker, allows you to show the tweets from a specific user in your sidebar. With the profile and search widget, you can choose to only show tweets with a particular hashtag, to control which tweets get shown on your site. You can also elect not to show retweets or “@” replies. By default this plugin uses a Twitter API to provide avatar images, unfortunately this process triggers Twitter to drop some cookies on visitors. If you want to continue using avatars in your widgets are avoid Twitter cookies, you can use the partner plugin Twitter Tracker Avatar Cache. If you want to avoid the use of cookies, and don’t need avatars in your widget (or are hiding the avatars with CSS) then you can use the Twitter Tracker Blank Avatars partner plugin. The plugin puts “Twitter Tracker” fields in the post and page screens, you can enter a specific query into this metabox and this will override the query entered on the widget editor… this means you can have individual Twitter search queries in the widget for each of your posts and pages. If you enter nothing in those fields then the widget will use the Twitter search query on the widget editor screen. (Developers, you can add this metabox to custom post types although you will need to use the tt_post_types_with_override filter to get the metabox fields to save… check out the code.) The HTML output is fairly well classed, but if you need to adapt it you can. Create a directory in your theme
