Twitter Avatar Reloaded

Descripción

Twitter avatar reloaded Plugin adds a new field to the comment form to get the user’s Twitter username and stores it together with comments and using it replaces gravatar with twitter avatar when the comment is displayed.

This Plugin works seamlessly and you don’t need to edit your theme files to add the new field to the comment form. It automatically adds it when activated.

Note: Because of the changes in the way Twitter API works, from v2.0 of the plugin you need to create a twitter app and provide the access key and token. Refer to the installation instructions to find out how to do this

Template functions

This Plugin provides 7 template functions which you can use in your theme to customize the way the comment author’s twitter id/profile should be displayed.

• get_comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id) – Get the Twitter id of the comment author
• comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id) – Print the Twitter id of the comment author
• get_comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id) – Get the Twitter profile url of the comment author
• comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id) – Print the Twitter url of the comment author

• comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id) – Print the twitter profile image url of the comment author
• get_twitter_profile_image($twitter_username) – Get the twitter profile image of a user using twitter id
