How to add a Twitter feed to a page

1. From the Content or Layout perspective, insert the Composite.Feeds.TwitterReader function ( Insert > Function), or add the following code:
   Expand code

   <f:function name="Composite.Feeds.TwitterReader" xmlns:f="http://www.composite.net/ns/function/1.0"> 
     <f:param name="Username" value="compositec1" /> 
     <f:param name="TweetsCount" value="5" /> 
     <f:param name="LoaderText" value="Loading tweets..." /> 
     <f:param name="SlideIn" value="True" /> 
     <f:param name="SlideDuration" value="750" /> 
     <f:param name="ShowHeading" value="True" /> 
     <f:param name="HeadingText" value="Latest Tweets" /> 
     <f:param name="ShowProfileLink" value="True" /> 
     <f:param name="ShowTimestamp" value="True" /> 
     <f:param name="TwitterReaderId" value="TwitterReader" /> 
   </f:function>

   
   
2. In the Username parameter, specify the username whose tweets you want to publish on your website (for example, "CompositeC1").
3. If necessary, set up the optional parameters:
   • TweetsCount: the number of tweets to show (5, by default)
   • LoaderText: the text to show while tweets are being loaded ("Loading tweets...", by default)
   • SlideIn: use the slide-in effect when loading tweets ("True", by default)
   • SlideDuration: the duration of the slide-in effect in milliseconds (750, by default)
   • ShowHeading: show the heading above the tweets ("True", by default)
   • HeadingText: the heading text to show ("Latest Tweets", by default)
   • ShowProfileLink: show the link to the profile ("True", by default)
   • ShowTimestamp: show the timestamp under each tweet ("True", by default)
   • TwitterReaderId: the Id attribute of <div> element used in HTML ("TwitterReader" by default). The Ids must be different for different twitter readers.
