How to Add Twitter to a Drupal Site

Tags:

I installed the Twitter module today, and was thoughtful enough to create a photo album of instructions for any Googler that stumbles upon this page. Album captions explain everything.

It is very cool to have posts on Twitter and Pztrick.com automatically syndicating one another.

One tip not noted in the photo album: The default behavior is for all tweets, even those tweets announcing posts on your Drupal site, to be displayed in the Twitter block. This is redundant and perhaps undesirable. To “filter out” those redundant tweets, you can open the Views 2 module administration page, edit the Tweets view block, and add a filter for type “Twitter Text” with the operator -does not contain “New post:”- or whatever your default string of text may be. I have not implemented this for my Twitter block(as of writing).
