Display Multiple Twitter Feeds on your Website

• Display optional images.
• Caches to Disk
• Date Styling Options
• Uses new customised OAuth wrapper from J7mbo to get access to the API
• Can work with single Twitter feeds too
• Object orientated so you can have multiple separate single feeds or multiple double feeds. Currently, a maximum of 2 feeds together at a time.

You should already have a consumer key, consumer secret, access token and access token secret for one or both of your twitter accounts.

If not visit Twitter Apps to create them. https://apps.twitter.com/

PHP Server with CURL – The script has been tested using PHP 7 but should work for 5.6 and above.

A little knowledge of PHP and CSS are beneficial but not essential.

On the page you want to display your twitter feed(s) load the class

  include_once 'twitter/includes/wow-multi-twitter.php';

Adding your Keys and Tokens to an array

//User 1
$consKey = '';//Add your Twitter Consumer Key here
$consSec = '';//Add your Twitter Consumer Secret here
$usrToken = '';//Add your Twitter User Token here
$usrSec ='';//Add your Twitter User Secret here

//User 2 If you only want one user, simply ommit any reference to user2
$consKey2 = '';//Add your Twitter Consumer Key here
$consSec2 = '';//Add your Twitter Consumer Secret here
$usrToken2 = '';//Add your Twitter User Token here
$usrSec2 ='';//Add your Twitter User Secret here

//Creates an array of the above keys for each user
$user1 = array($consKey,$consSec,$usrToken,$usrSec);
$user2 = array($consKey2,$consSec2,$usrToken2,$usrSec2);

$twitter = new MultiTwitter();

//Sets custom options
$options = array('maxTweets'=> 25,
 'caching_intervals' => 10,
 'display_images' =>true,
 'style'=>'ddmm'
);

$twitter->setOptions($options);

//Sets the user. If you only want one user just use setUser1
$twitter->setUser1('username1',$user1);
$twitter->setUser2('username2',$user2);

  echo $twitter->displayTweets();
