Abivia's Multi-Twitter Plugin lets you construct complex twitter searches, filter and edit the results, and display them the way you want. Multi-Twitter can perform multiple searches then merge the results into a single feed.
Other Twitter modules simply help you build a search query. Multi-Twitter doesn't. We let you use Twitter search syntax and add value by handling the search results in an intelligent manner.
Here's a screen shot of the setup parameters:
Twitter Names
This parameter lets you specify the Twitter names of the people you want in the feed. Specify one name per line. You can also add additional search terms to the name, so if, for example you wanted to include @ev, but only if he's talking about travel, you would write "ev travel". If you only wanted to exclude his Tweets about football you would write "ev -football".
You can also "trick" the module into doing unnamed searches by using a dash for the name (make sure you follow the dash with a space). so if you wrote "- journalism", then all tweets that mention journalism would be part of the feed.
Global Search Terms
If you want to add the same terms to every name in the list, do it here. For example, if you put "joomla OR php" in this parameter, then only tweets that contain either Joomla or PHP will be part of the feed.
Kill List and Method
The kill list lets you define terms that won't be included in the feed. Enter one term per line. The Kill List Method specifies how the data in the list will be processed. The default is a case-insensitive match. If you put "Abivia" in this list, then any Tweet containing "Abivia", "abivia", "ABIVIA" (and so on) will be removed. In case sensitive mode, only those matching "Abivia" would be removed. The third mode allows you to use powerful regular expressions.
Edit List and Method
Entries in the edit list contain two terms, separated by a comma. Thus if you wrote "dick,d*ck", all ocurrances of "dick" in a Tweet will appear as "d*ck". As with the kill list, the Edit List method lets you specify case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or powerful regular expression matches.
Tweet Count
This is the maximum number of tweets to display.
One Tweet per Author
If set, this option will try to include one tweet from every author in the Twitter Names list. This prevents very active users from flooding out the entire feed. the module includes the most recent qualifying Tweet from each user, then the second most recent, etc. until the maximum count has been reached.
Link Authors, @ References, and http References
Thse setting control whether or not author names, references to other Twitter users, and embedded links are treated as links or not.
Show Image
If set, the user's Twitter image will be displayed.
Show Time and Time Format
If set, the time will be displayed according to the Time Format parameter.
