This module uses SS_Cache to reduce the amount of Twitter REST API requests. Default cache lifetime is 30min. You can change this value by putting this line in your _config.php (1800 is cache lifetime in seconds):

SS_Cache::set_cache_lifetime('LatestTweets_cache', 1800, 10);

Usage

Simple. Just place $LatestTweets anywhere in your template.

If you're unhappy with default tweet list template you can override the default LatestTweets.ss template.

Uses tmhOAuth library written in PHP by Matt Harris (http://themattharris.com), specifically for use with the Twitter API.
