monTwitter

Package Description

monTwitter is a set of snippets used to present twitter easier on you modx webpages.

It is based on Shaun's splittingred blog article http://www.splittingred.com/technology/2010/06/adding-a-twitter-feed-to-your-site.html

I just managed to filter unwanted characters with the twitter snippet used as a filter.

This allow to properly handle the links into the rss flow. (see picture for links in blue)

Hope this wil help other MODx newbyes...

Long live to the modx community
