Twitter is a popular system for micro-blogging. People can post short messages (or questions), and these messages can then be followed, searched, and viewed by anyone.
The Twitter Search block allows the results of a Twitter search to be displayed in a block.
The Twitter Search block requires the cURL library to be enabled. Information about the cURL library and how to enable it is provided in the initial chapter of this book.
Unlike most modules, the block code for this module is downloadable from the block author's Moodle site. In order to download the block, you will need to log into that Moodle site; guest access is sufficient.
The module is also packaged as a Tar
file and zipped using gzip
; if you are using Windows or Mac, you may need an alternate compression...
