Another Twitter widget is rolling your way! This widget will scroll through the most recent tweets that mention the account associated with the keys! To get this widget up and running you only need to add your keys into this area of twitter.rb:

 config.consumer_key = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY'
 config.consumer_secret = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY'
 config.access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
 config.access_token_secret = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'

If you haven't got your keys yet, head over to https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom and grab them there.

To display the mentions, the comments widget provided with dashing was used. This is what you need in your dashboard .erb file to make them work. The widget also inserts the twitter bird logo behind the widget for astetics.

  <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="2" data-sizey="1">
      <div data-id="twitter_mentions" data-view="Comments" style="background-color:#00afd7;" data-moreinfo="Tweets @sourceclear" ></div>
      <i class="icon-twitter icon-background"></i>
  </li>

twitter.rb

require 'twitter'


#### Get your twitter keys & secrets:
#### https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/tokens-devtwittercom
twitter = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|
  config.consumer_key = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY'
  config.consumer_secret = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY'
  config.access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  config.access_token_secret = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'
end

SCHEDULER.every '15m', :first_in => 0 do |job|
  begin
    user = twitter.user
    if mentions
      mentions = mentions.map do |tweet|
        { name: tweet.user.name, body: tweet.text, avatar: tweet.user.profile_image_url_https }
      end

    send_event('twitter_mentions', {comments: mentions})
    end    
  rescue Twitter::Error
    puts "\e[33mThere was an error with Twitter\e[0m"
  end

end

The avatar is not working. Managed to get it working with the folliwing change:
{ name: tweet.user.name, body: tweet.text, avatar: tweet.user.profile_image_url_https.to_s }

I followed the insctructions and changed the things mentioned above.

But i always get an "undefined" in the widget. There's no error in the terminal. The dashboard works, the twitter-icon is there, but the text is only "undefined".

Any ideas?

Nice widget! I have one question: how can I change the rotation speed of the tweets being displayed? it seems to be by default around 10 seconds.

Despite hellogerard's instructions, i have the same problem as PeterBi87.
The dashboard works but the widget shows "undefined".

Can somebody help ?
