Integration with social media allows you to deal with two issues at once: show your customers that you apply popular features to your store and keep users informed about all the current news you find interesting. It is not that difficult - you may just add a feed with posts on your website at that will be all. The main thing is that a user doesn’t have to perform any extra steps like following a link. With our extension they will see posts from your feed right on your store. So, they are able to subscribe to your account after they see your posts.

Twitter Widget allows you to integrate one of the most popular social media to your store and to share your posts with all the visitors. It is you, who decides on the content - your tweets will be displayed. You may show information on the store updates, upcoming events and discounts, new arrivals, and so on. Display what you like and improve your clients’ experience without much efforts. Simple installation and convenient functionality are included as well.

Features of Twitter Widget for Magento 1

What Twitter Widget is

Twitter Widget gives you a possibility to have a Twitter timeline in any block of your store and modify it the way you like. The extension is easy to install and configure and as it is presented as a widget, it is very mobile. Show your users, what you want and improve their experience by that.

Easy to install and configure

Enjoy simple and understandable widget configurations

When adding a new widget or editing the existed one, you will come across its man configurations. The whole list of settings is made clearly in order not to allow users to get lost among masses of incomprehensible and complex configurations. You will find everything for setting up your widget without any mess.

Turn on and off the whole extension or just a particular widget quickly

You can quickly disable and enable the whole extension with one simple action - just find the option in the general configurations. Moreover, you can turn a particular widget on and off when you need - Twitter Widget supports this function as well. Find it in the configurations of a definite widget you want to manage.

Install the extension simply

Twitter Widget offers smooth installation with no code manipulations. You just need to move particular files from the downloaded folder to your Magento installation folder. No extraordinary and super hard actions needed. After you clean your cache, everything should work as intended.

Add Layout Update

Set a specific place for your widgets

Due to the fact that the extension allows users to set widgets on your website, you can indicate the exact place for any of them. Decide on a page or a number of them and the particular block on them to set your widget. You are free to choose here.

No need for authorization

Show tweets of any account you want

You don’t have to display only your own posts. Set the Twitter username of any person you want and have his or her tweets displayed on your website. It may be a profile of your public account, your supplier, or your business companion. Decide on which posts will better suit your store and display them with no extra efforts.

Have your posts displayed without logging in

Twitter Widget allows you to set the username of a profile, whose posts you want to show, and that is all. You don’t have to log in manually and connect your account with your Magento Admin Panel. Just set your username without additional actions.

Set the appearance of widgets and posts

Choose the number of posts to display

One of the options to customize is the number of shown tweets. Decide on the amount that won’t be too much and too little for your visitors and set it in configurations. Another option that will help your widgets look even better.

Publish different widgets on different pages

Your widgets don’t have to be the same on all pages. Create a separate one for each of them. Set different number of displayed tweets in a widget and add different accounts to take posts from. Let your every page have unique widgets.

Setting up the extension and widgets

Enable the extension

The main configuration responsible for general extension functioning lies in System > Configuration > Neklo > Twitter Timeline > General Settings. You will come across the only option here applicable to the overall extension work. In the field “Is Enabled” set “Yes” to have your extension work. You can easily disable the extension for a while if you need here as well.

Creating your widget

To appear on the page for widgets creation and configuration, go to CMS > Widgets and press here the button Add New Widget Instance. To see all the configurations, you should at first set the type and the design package for the widget. After you click on the button “Continue”, you will come across all the existing configurations.

Configure the widget

Managing Frontend Properties

You will immediately appear in the tab “Frontend Properties”. The first new option you will see is “Widget Instance Title”. It is responsible for setting the name of your widget that is displayed in the table “Manage Widget Instances”. In the following setting you can assign your widget to a needed store view or to all of them. “Sort Order” indicates the numerical order of this widget in the table with al widgets. The last block here that is called “Layout Updates” sets the exact page and a place on it for posting your widget.

Setting the right Widget Options

Another tab with the extension configurations is called “Widget Options”. Here you will find options that are directly applicable to content display. “Is Enabled” regulates the appearance of this particular widget. It allows you to show and hide it when necessary. In the graph “Username” you can set the name of the account you want to take tweets from. The widget configurations end with the line “Count post”. It is done for setting the number of the posts you find the most suitable for your store.

Installation process

The whole process of installation is very simple. It consists of only two steps:

Unpack the downloaded zip file and extract all the files in it to the Magento installation folder.
Clean the cache in your Admin Panel. To do so, go to System > Cache Management.
