Twitter Goodies Widgets

Description

This plugin will allow you to create any one of the four Twitter widgets located at twitter's website twitter.com/goodies/widgets with the friendly wordpress drag & drop convenience of widgets. Some of the features:

  • Can create multiple twitter widget instnaces (uses the new WP widget API)
  • Four for one! Four twitter widgets - twitter lists, faves, your twitter profile, or a search
  • All the options available via the twitter widget page are available here too (as of Nov 05 2009).
  • Save multiple themes for your twitter widget. Use one theme (or many) across multiple widgets, no need to retype settings like on the twitter site.
  • Quickly and easly switch between the different twitter widget types.
  • One widget makes for twitter widgets.
  • Place widgets in your posts and pages too with shortcodes (see notes).

    Two things that would make this even better:
    1. Add # of followers count to top panel for the profile view.

    2. Need a fix for turning off twitter images when displaying profile twitter using Arras Theme (http://www.arrastheme.com/). The button is unselected in admin screen, but image still shows up in twitter stream. Note: I am using dnspreview before launching my site. Please let me know if this might not be running right for that reason.

    Thanks!

    hey man great plugin, super easy to activate and pick colors, etc.
    One issue, I’m on newest wordpress 3.1 and I can not disable avatars from displaying.
    By default the box is unchecked but they show up, when “show avatars” box checked – no difference.
    Is this a WP 3.1 Issue? Would this be a simple fix?

    The sidebar on the theme I’m using is only 240px, so taking out the avatars would help fit more text.. thanks!

    I do not see any tweets, the widget shows, looks nice, I have styled it and added a username, which I presume is the username for the tweeter I would like to capture and display,. Is there something I have missed?
