Overview & Features
Twitter Field is a lightweight module that allow you to integrate and setup a field (plain Text) within a Contenttype, that offers you the possibility to display the latest Twitter-Posts from a specific Twitter-Account within a node. You can handle this field like all other Drupal-Fields f.e. with Views etc. The Twitter-Feed appears as a block via Twitter-API.
You can define the Width (hint: define "100%" to setup responsive behavior) and Height, the Theme (dark or light) and Link Color (Hex Color) of the Twitter-Feed-Block/-Posts.
Installation & Setup
Twitter Field can be installed via the standard Drupal installation process.
As soon as the field has been defined in a Contenttype (first you must add a plain text field), you can setup the Twitter-Field within the Display Settings of the Contenttype (second in "Manage Form Display" in the Widget-column choose Twitter and save, third within the "Manage Display" tab you have to choose Twitter in the Format column and the setup appears).
Now you can enter a Node of this Contenttype and type in the Twitter-Account-Name into the Twitter-Field. After Saving the node, the latest Posts are shown within this node in a Twitter-Feed-Block.
Credits
This module is sponsored by HUSS VERLAG (Publisher from Munich Germany) and programmed by KEY-TEC (Drupal-Developer from Munich Germany).
Similar projects
Twitter Field will never provide advanced Twitter integration such as OAuth user authentication or the ability to tweet from Drupal. These capabilities are provided by other modules such as Twitter.
The Module Twitter Block makes it possible to show up a Twitter-Feed within a Custom Block. So the difference to Twitter-Field is, that you setup a field within a Contenttype (Twitter Field) or a Custom Block (Twitter Block) to show up the Feed. So with Twitter-Field every Content-Manager can setup such a Twitter-Feed (main reason for this module), but with Twitter Block you must have permissions to setup Custom Blocks (usually Admin or Sitebuilder but not a Content Manager). There are also other modules that provide such a custom block solution fpr Twitter-Feeds.
