Features include:
* Set the number of tweets to display
* Choose whether to display your avatar or not
* Select whether to display just your tweets or all tweets related to a particular topic
* Select auto join phrases according to the nature of your tweet eg specific intro text for replies, verbs, replying to tweets and more.
* Set the text to appear while the tweets loads.
* Filter your own tweets via keywords. eg only display tweets that contain the word "joomla".
v1.0.2 Now loads the scripts on the fly making the module xhtml compliant. Please note that the module now requires the JB Library plugin in order to work now. The JB Library plugin loads the jQuery library automatically into the head of your template. The jQuery library is required for the jTweets module.
Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.

Excellent module - just what I needed. All the changes that I wanted to make were not possible through the GUI so I simply edited the .js file which worked quite well.
Just a small question - I changed my twitter avatar but the module is somehow still using my old one. (I have deleted the cache and everything). Do you know why this could be the case?

While I find the module to be very well done and the presentation to be good, there is one major drawback to this module. The fact that it requires a library plug-in which I have found frequently conflicts with other modules and components which make use of the JAVA tools already built-in to Joomla 1.5. While the twitter display on the site is "nice" to have, it is not worth breaking other, more critical, features of the site, such as Forums.

Hi thanks for your review. jTweet and JB Library wont actually conflict with other javascripts because they use jQuery running in no conflict mode and they work perfectly fine with the Joomla core mootools scripts. Where you will run into trouble is if the jQuery library itself is called from another script, module or component and then the solution is to remove the second instance of the jQuery library but there is no inherent conflict with core Joomla scripts.

Very nice extension but keep in mind that you have to install at the same time the JB plugin that you can find at http://www.joomlabamboo.com/downloads/view-document-details/224-jb-library-plugin. I spent lot of time before understanding this point!!

I initially had a hard time getting this to work, but that was because I was using a third party template without installing the JB LIbrary plugin. Once I installed the plugin everything worked great. I didn't even have to do any additional styling. It looks and works perfectly even with a third party template.
My only suggestion is that it should be written to work with Mootools, since that is what will be built in to future versions of Joomla.

This works so well! Such an easy set up, easy to configure, easy, easy, easy.
Joomla Bamboo are amazing, they have heaps of great mods and templates, check them out!

Skinable à volonté grâce à l'import de la feuille de style, adaptable à volonté grâce aux requêtes intégrées, ce module est idéal pour mon site.
Il ne lui manque peut-être qu'une gestion du cache pour être parfait.

Fantastic extension! I've ben struggling with many solutions to add a Twitter feed to my website and JTweet is the best one so far. The only change I made was on the CSS file - to make the font sans serif (which was also surprisingly simple to do). Thanks to the developers for giving us this great extension for FREE

I needed a way to communicate my twitter.com updates and this simple yet powerful module allowed me to have this happening in less than 5 minutes.
I didn't want to display my avatar so simply set the avatar size to 0 and instantly it was not being displayed. Just what I needed.
Thanks for a great module to help me use the twitter services better.

jTweet is just great. Perfect styling through a seperate CSS file to get the design neatly integrated in your template and even better: great support from the developers at Joomla Bamboo.
They reacted instantly on a Saturday and Sunday to help make jTweet XHTML compliant.
Just follow these simple steps:
1. Add to the section of your template HTML.
2. Delete from the mod_jTweet.php file in the module directory (somewhere around line 45).
Tip hat and all thumbs up!

Yet another great module from Joomla Bamboo. I just started twittering and wanted something to port my tweets to my business site.
Jtweet is exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly out of the box.
Love the settings available in the parameters.
I highly recommend this twitter module!

A perfect turn-key module although as the site it is running on doesn't have a white background I modified the style-sheet and it was sorted - all of 2 minutes work!
byjfmoney on March 6, 2009
Tried lots of the other Twitter modules on here. None did exactly what I wanted. Until I tried JTweet, don't think I'll be looking back!

I wish everything I tried to implement into my site was this straight forward. plug and play baby. Nice very simple mod. that does exactly what I wanted with no fuss.

I tried to install several Twitter extensions and none worked. This one works beautifully. See for yourself.

I'm a Joomla newbie and was looking for an extension just like this! I tried some of the others listed but they either didn't work right or did not display properly. I had this downloaded, installed and "tweeting" to my site in under two minutes. Works great and looks great! Very happy with it, thank you!
