Description
Adds a just_a_tweet
function and short code that allows you to display only
the most recent Tweet from a Twitter feed.
This came about because I wanted a way to display my most recent tweet in the
header of my site. Looking through dozens of Twitter plugins I couldn’t find
one that just got the most recent tweet without too much extraneous HTML and
also cached the request. This function does both.
For more info, visit Nutt.net or
my Twitter feed.

to the/wp-content/plugins/

takes up to 4 parameters
$twitterUser – Required – The name of the Twitter user you want to request
$cacheAge – Optional – Number of minutes after which the cache is considered stale. Defaults to 5
$forceRefresh – Optional – If true then the cache is not used, although it is
still filled. Defaults to false

way the HTML is returned. Defaults to true
Using the shortcode
There is also a shortcode just_a_tweet that you can use inside your posts and pages.
