Twitter App
Namespaces
The Perch Twitter App uses the namespace perch:twitter
.
Master templates
Tweets are imported rather than input in the Control Panel so the Twitter App has no Master Template used for data entry.
Default templates
Template | Used for |
---|---|
tweet.html | Displaying a tweet |
Template IDs
Value | Description |
---|---|
tweetHTML | The HTML body of the tweet |
tweetUser | The Twitter user |
tweetTwitterID | The ID of the tweet on Twitter |
tweetUserRealName | The user’s real name |
tweetUserAvatar | The user’s avatar |
tweetDate | The date and time of the tweet |
tweetText | (use tweetHTML under normal circumstances) |
Editing Templates
The default templates are stored inside the perch_twitter/templates
folder however you should not edit these directly.
To modify templates copy the templates from /perch/addons/apps/perch_twitter/templates/twitter
to
/perch/templates/twitter
and then make your changes.
If a template has the same name in this folder as the template in the perch_twitter
folder it will be used rather than the default. You can also create your own templates with any name you like and pass in the name of the template in the function’s options array.
