This is the Latest Project from Console Zoom. It is a custom Wikidot CSS3 style twitter widget. There is going to be a tutorial and code in order to place this in your wikidot site, or any other site!
Step 1:
- To get this code to work and be able to see the full features of it, you are going to need a CSS3-capable Internet browser (e.g. Apple Safari, Google Chrome). This is to really see what this widget can do.
Step 2:
- Once you have downloaded the Chrome Browser or the Safari Browser you can now enter the code below into the bottom of the desired page that you want (NOT THE CSS STYLESHEET!!). Please note that you must copy and paste the Entire Code if you want to keep this feature free for Wikidot user's.

It works now but theres a glitch!

Seems that this module is no more working, any fix?
Thanks in advance.
No there isn't a fix because this was broken when Twitter retired API v1. As a result almost all 3rd party Twitter widgets across the world stopped working (a google search will bring up a lot of information about this). Under API v2 there are a few twitter widgets that work, for example the one on our community site at http://community.wikidot.com/forum:recent-posts, but none of them are as good as what we had before. Sadly it's all Twitter's fault.

I can easily update CSI to match this page. Just as long as I can see what has changed (using history)

I would like to start adding more sizes to the box heading 3 container tho, just in case users would like to make it bigger horizontally.

Is there any way you can write on the csi package that I created the widget and you created the csi?

Done: http://csi.wikidot.com/package:41
But I had to restrict the height and width to increments of 100 pixels due to a few limitations… the header with @username in it wouldn't have been the correct width if I did it any other way.

Sure! You can make one if you would like. I just made this code like 2 or 3 hours ago so I'm sure there is other things to be changed also.

Do you know how to make a CSI froopi? That would make this easier for people to use. Otherwise I can convert it into a CSI for you if you'd like.
