Offsetting the tweets.

    Hope I can explain this correctly, am using your plugin to supply a twitter feed on a single page using the short code and all is good, it works brilliantly.

    But I’m also trying to find a twitter solution for the homepage, which has two twitter boxes in it. I originally wanted to use a plugin that turned the tweets to posts, so I could have the latest tweet in twitter box A, and the second latest tweet in twitter box B…

    I can’t find a way to do this, so was wondering… am I able to (using short code) offset the tweets, so in box A have the latest tweet showing, then in box B have the second latest?

    Hope there’s a way to do this, I could then stick to one twitter plugin as it’s the best I’ve found out there.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Aaron,

    There’s not currently a way to do this in two separate boxes.

    You can do two in a single box via a shortcode like:

    [rotatingtweets screen_name='your_name_here' tweet_count='2' no_rotate='1']

    I can see how it would be possible to add an option to start at the 2nd or 3rd tweet. Would you then want them rotating in sync – with one always a tweet behind the other?

    Hi Martin.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    For this particular scenario, I wouldn’t need them to rotate, just start at the 2nd tweet – just so that they don’t show the same content.

    If it’s too tricky to do then I can look for another solution, if there is one out there!

    Thanks again

    I’ve added an offset variable to the development version of Rotating Tweets.

    You can now get the effect you want via:

    [rotatingtweets screen_name='your_name_here' tweet_count='1' no_rotate='1']

    next to

    [rotatingtweets screen_name='your_name_here' tweet_count='1' offset='1' no_rotate='1']
