Drupal modules for social networks integration
Author:

In our previous blog post, our Drupal web development company has presented a list of 7 popular and useful Drupal modules for integration with social networks. After that we've received some queries like "Are there some other modules of such kind?". Thus, we've decided to make up a new list!

1. “Twitter block” module

“Twitter block” module adds to the site a block displaying the tweets of certain users, tweets with some #tag or search request.

The module enables displaying tweets by pre-defined filters; theming the results with theme_twitter_block_tweet() and theme_twitter_block() functions. The module doesn’t include extensions, that’s why tweets with Drupal can not be added.

Set it up:

Drupal versions support: 7.x.

You can configure it on a block’s settings page.

Download the module: https://www.drupal.org/project/twitter_block

The module is partially translated into Ukrainian.

To install it correctly, use the instruction: https://www.webwash.net
