Really simple app to show a Twitter feed in your Django application.

It's using a a task to update the feed regularly.

This package has been updated to work with Django 1.8 on servers that have time zones active.

If Django does not detect any migrations for the "twitter_feed" app, it is possible that you will need to copy the models in twitter_feed/modals.py into your app's models.py file.

pip install git+https://github.com/liamdebeasi/django-twitter-feed.git

1.Add it to your "INSTALLED_APPS" settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'twitter_feed',
    ...
)

2.Add your twitter account API access in the settings like this:

TWITTER_FEED_CONSUMER_PUBLIC_KEY = '...'
TWITTER_FEED_CONSUMER_SECRET = '...'
TWITTER_FEED_OPEN_AUTH_TOKEN = '...'
TWITTER_FEED_OPEN_AUTH_SECRET = '...'

3.Run python manage.py migrate (if you use South) or python manage.py syncdb

4.Run the following command lines to test your Twitter credentials and save the initial feeds:

• python manage.py update_tweets
• python manage.py show_tweets

5.In a template, show the latest 10 tweets for example:

{% load twitter_feed_tags %}
{% latest_tweets 10 %}

6.Customise the template - simply create a copy of twitter_feed/latest_tweets.html and edit it.

For example:

{% load twitter_feed_tags %}

<div class="tweets">
	{% for tweet in tweets %}
      <div class="tweet">
	    <p>{{ tweet.content|linkify_twitter_status|urlize|url_target_blank }}</p>
    	<p class="date">{{ tweet.published_at|date:"F d, Y" }}</p>
      </div>
	{% endfor %}
</div>

7.Make sure python manage.py update_tweets is regurlalry called.
