This discussion is related to the Twitter Feeds addon.

How can I use it and where?
Every addon must to have a documentation, help or How to use.

Yeah, I'd like to know too. I just can no figure it out.

1. Download, install & activate the Plugin
2. Go to your User Profile-page
3. Click on "Edit User Account"
4. In the very bottom, there is a new Textfield "Twitter Name" --> add the desired Twitter account
5. Save the changes
6. Refresh your Profile-page...

Is this OK, @otto1303 & @theocas ?

@oliverraduner I activated it on my profile page. It showed me few of my Twitts but then titts disapeared and all I see now is a header which shows @mytwittername and nothing else. I published a Twitt to test it but still nothing.

Most likely an issue with the newest build of Vanilla. I am still running 2.0.17.6 so I cannot test it at the moment... but I will investigate this issue and let you know when a fix is available.

Problem with version 2.0.18b. As soon as I upload it to Plugins folder it complitely knocks out entire website. Any idea why?

My problem with it is on my own profile. My Twitter name is : ol_hippie ,but when I enter it I get this message : Username can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and must be between 3 and 20 characters long. hmmm...

@berdia I hope it were not your personal titts disappearing ;-) Jokes aside, there was indeed an issue with gathering the *right* tweets. I have fixed this for the new release. This version will also (optionally) consider Retweets & Replies.
I have to add though, that Twitter changed their API which of course influenced the functionality of the plugin...

No clue what might cause this behaviour, I couldn't reproduce it. But anyway, as mentioned there will be a new version out the next few days - I have it quite finalised it already.

@olhippie Cannot reproduce this either, but have to check with Vanilla 2.0.18b if it might be a new restriction. Will consider it for the new release of the plugin.
