#Latest Tweets SilverStripe widget

This SilverStripe widget shows the latest tweets from a named Twitter account.

It makes use of tmhOAuth, an OAuth 1.0A library specifically for use with the Twitter API: https://github.com/themattharris/tmhOAuth

To use the widget you will also need to create a Twitter App: https://dev.twitter.com/apps

##Installation & Usage

Simply rename the folder to widget_latesttweets (that bit is important), drop it into the root directory of your SilverStripe site and run a /dev/build. You will then see the widget in your list of available widgets.

You will need the SilverStripe Widgets module installed and a widget area in your template.

Because the new Twitter API v 1.1 requires all calls to be authenticated you will also need to create a Twitter app in order to create the neccessary access tokens.
