Examples and documentation

Tweet Rotator gets the latest Tweets from a user, a hashtag or another search operator and publishes it in an interactive banner. It is completely written in JavaScript using the jQuery framework. In other words, NO database or serverside programming language is required. Its lightweight, 8kb and easy to integrate into your website.

Current features:

• Load in any Tweets based upon 'Twitter Search Operators'.
• Horizontal and vertical directions supported.
• Manual or auto-rotation mode available.
• Set the time between cycles in seconds.
• Multiple backgroundcolor mode.
• Load in as many Tweets as you want (default: 6)

How to implement?

First include the jQuery library to the 'head' section of your webpage. Then include Tweet Rotator, I'd recommend using the minified version (js/tweetrotator-min.js).

Example:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/tweetrotator-min.js"></script>

Setting up
When the implementation is done you can setup Tweet Rotator by adding the following lines to the end of hour 'head' section on your webpage:

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#example").tweetrotator({operator: "#google"});
});
</script>

And you are done, Tweet Rotator will now look for an element with the id 'example' and load in Tweets that match the operator, in this case #google. Don't forget to add an width and height to your 'example' element!.
