Content Tweetmgr

Post by musicscore »

I think I'm missing some content in the Tweetmgr.
Here is a picture of the tweet on Twitter.com
Tweet_Origineel.jpg
When I look at this tweet via the Tweetmgr I see this :
Tweet_via_Tweetmgr.jpg
So I thing I'm missing the part in the red area.
Tweet_Missing_Part.jpg
How can I add this part to the layout (in the template) of Tweetmgr.

TIA

The tweet is simply a URL.

The Twitter application in your first screenshot uses Twitter "cards" - turning the simple URL into a more attractive image, text, header laid out in a sensible way according to your screen size.

Learn about Twitter cards here:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/t ... outs-cards

It's essentially knowing what special meta tags to add to the page you are tweeting.

Tweetmgr doesn't use Twitter cards, it simply displays a clickable link.

I suspect it would need a lot of changes to the module to implement this feature.

Consider also Twitter widgets which can display your tweets in a reasonably flexible format.
