Twitter Made Simple Installation

I am trying to install the module "Twitter Made Simple," also called Twitter 2.0.0.

I have CMSms v. 1.11.7 Genovesa, PHP Version 5.3, a GoDaddy Linux server and a MySQL version 5.0 (Direct access) data base.

I have installed the module Twitter 2.0.0 and have CMSForms 1.10.10 installed.

The "Twitter Made Simple" module shows up under Content.(There are no configuration instructions. How should I configure it?)

I need basic help to get the Twitter module working. The module help instructions say:

"Configure your Twitter credentials in the backend. Use {cms_module module="Twitter"} in your pages/templates." Where exactly do I put this? I have tried serveral different pages and get syntax error messages.

The instructions also give an example:

{foreach from=$timeline item=tweet}
<div id="status_{$tweet->id}" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;">
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 20px; "><img src="{$tweet->picture}" alt="{$tweet->author_name}" /></div>
<p><strong>{$tweet->author_name}</strong>
{$tweet->getText()}</p>
<p>{$tweet->getWhen()} from {$tweet->source}</p>
<div style="clear: right"></div>
</div>
{/foreach}

How do I need to customize this and where do I put it?

I can create a tweet button with {Twitter action="tweet"} on a page, but, alas, nothing else.

I would appreciate any help. This is for a dog organization, circletail.org. We had a Twitter feed set up, but Twitter recently chaned their software and our Twitter feed no longer works.

Thank you,

Guy C. Guckenberger

I thought this module doesn't work anymore because Twitter made some changes.

Thank you for responding. The module is here: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/twitter.

The module says it is updated.

The instructions I am working with and do not understand are from the module's help file.
