I'm really glad I found a JW module for the tweet feed. Always like JW stuff .

I needed to translate the font end to dutch. No problem here. Just cop the English language ini file for this module to the NL language file, rename and change the translation in the ini file. Always good to see developers use the ini-way for translations...

About the translation:
1. There was one 'about' hard-coded in the script.Around line 80 of the file mod_jw_latesttweets.php. I also added

return '".JText::_('about a minute ago')."';

Instead of the hard-coded string here. (Line 79). Then added the translation string to the dutch ini file. This is missing in the English language file...
(ABOUT A MINUTE AGO=Ongeveer een minuut geleden)

Feature requests:

1. The ability to chose whether or not to add a link on the date or title (link to twitter). And the option to select where to put the link. On the tweet message or the time/date.

2. Use multiple tweet accounts (combine). Maybe by allowing to insert multiple usernames (separated by ,)in the Twitter username field.

3. Allow filtering of the tweet feed. (Words?)

Or do I have to submit feature request somewhere else?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Regarding no.2, I think it's better to use our Simple RSS Feed Reader module to combine multiple Twitter feeds.

How about the ability to restrain the shown tweets to just tweets and not "@" replies?

I second that last comment. I would love to be able to exclude @replies in the list. To me, they do not make sense on a webpage for a company. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it becomes weird.

A link to each Tweet on the internet from the module would not be bad either.

And I would like the ability to turn off the "Follow" link at the bottom in an easier way. I can always edit the .php file, but not a good ide when an upgrade comes.

A last word - of all the Twitter modules I have tried so far, this is the one that comes closest to being a standard tool for me. Simple, and it just works. Congratulations!

Regarding the hardcoded 'About'... How exactly is it possible to change this to local language? I already took the en-GB file and made changes and saved as da-DK in my language/DA folder, and the changes I have made so far works perfectly.. I just keep getting the damn 'about'...

I guess there's something around lines 76-89 to be changed in the mod_jw_latesttweets.php but what?

I have tried just to write 'ABOUT=omkring' in my da-DK file, but do I need to take the whole term and translate or.... ??

Code:

 if (delta < 60) {
   return '".JText::_('less than a minute ago')."';
 } else if(delta < 120) {
   return 'about a minute ago';
 } else if(delta < (60*60)) {
   return (parseInt(delta / 60)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('minutes ago')."';
 } else if(delta < (120*60)) {
   return 'about an hour ago';
 } else if(delta < (24*60*60)) {
   return 'about ' + (parseInt(delta / 3600)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('hours ago')."';
 } else if(delta < (48*60*60)) {
   return '1 day ago';
 } else {
   return (parseInt(delta / 86400)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('days ago')."';

HA! - So much for patience... Tried myself with this code, which seems to have done the trick..

Code:

  if (delta < 60) {
    return '".JText::_('less than a minute ago')."';
  } else if(delta < 120) {
    return '".JText::_('about a minute ago')."';
  } else if(delta < (60*60)) {
    return (parseInt(delta / 60)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('minutes ago')."';
  } else if(delta < (120*60)) {
    return '".JText::_('about an hour ago')."';
  } else if(delta < (24*60*60)) {
    return '".JText::_('about ')."' + (parseInt(delta / 3600)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('hours ago')."';
  } else if(delta < (48*60*60)) {
    return '".JText::_('1 day ago')."';
  } else {
    return (parseInt(delta / 86400)).toString() + ' ".JText::_('days ago')."';
  }
