Description

The descriptions for RokTwittie echo the name of the parameter and are self explanatory. However, elaboration of a few key parameters is useful in understanding.

The Twitter Login and Twitter Password options do not need to be filled in order for the module to work. However, Twitter has a maximum of 100 hits in their API so if you have high traffic activity related to the module, you may wish to fill this out. However, entering the username field beneath login and password will allow it to work.

You can load multiple usernames for tweets and searches by separating them by a comma in the various fields.

The options provide you with incredible control over what to display, and are subdivided into sections such as username tweets and search tweets. The frontpage has some of these options disabled but to the left, you should see the module when fully activated.
