Twisplay

A little helper to display Tweets on your Rails website, taking Twitter's Design Guidelines into account. Tweet's are stored in your local database.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

$ rake db:migrate

config.consumer_key = TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY

config.oauth_token = TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
config.oauth_token_secret = TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
end

Render a tweet in a view using the status id from the URL (E.g. https://twitter.com/#!/rubyonrails/status/186335852467728384 ):

<%= tweet "186335852467728384" %>
