zenTwitter Plug-in

Here is an adaptation of the code project initialized by Bert Simons (BertSimons) on the Zenphoto forums (Link). His initial code was created as a plain php page and was included via the codeblocks from a zenpage. It also included twitpic updates. I've slimmed the code down a bit and turned it into a plug-in.

Installation

Installation is similar to other plugins. Uncompress zenTwitter.zip and upload to your root "/plugins" directory, not the "zp-core/plugins" directory.
Login to your administration settings.
Activate plugin from the "plugins" tab.
Set your options from the Options -> Plugins -> zenTwitter
Enter your twitter rss feed url. See example note.
Enter your twitter username. See example note.
Place the function call on whichever theme page you want to access it by, for instance I have it currently being called on my gallery.php before the end of the content div:

Support

Please ask any support questions on the Zenphoto forums for centralized support.

zenTwitter was tested on Zenphoto 1.2.6[4681] and will only be supported from this version forward. It relies upon the upcoming 1.2.7's change to plugin structure leaving user plugins in root/plugins.
