The Twitter grid property fetches and renders the tweets from a single Twitter account
We use the third party package uTwit to fetch the tweets for 1 Twitter feed which are then rendered on the site.
The current configuration fetches the latest 5 tweets, regardless of whether the tweets are retweet's or reply's, and display within a carousel. Within the LatestTweets view, we can define if the retweet's or reply's should be filtered out when fetching the tweets.
The styling of the Twitter feed is strictly governed by the Developer Display Requirements, so the Designer should take this into consideration when implementing a new design.
To render a clients Twitter feed, we will either need their login credentials for the Twitter account or a Team Viewer session will need organising so we can walk though the steps below with the client.
The clients latest 5 tweets should now be displayed within a carousel.
Remember to test the feed with all the themes for the site as content and SVG styles may need overriding.
Sorry but there seems to be an issue with our Twitter feed.
