    Hi

    I am looking to add the Arsenal Players Tweets onto a page on our website www.irishgunners.com

    Is there a way of doing this? Was looking at RSS widgets but they don't seem the best

    What I was looking for was something like This

    Anyone any tips or pointers?

    Thanks

    I don't know of any scripts / widgets out there that will allow you to do multiple profiles, but you could easily write your own script similar to what's being used on that link.

    Write a simple PHP script to read the RSS of the user using SimpleXML function ( e.g. https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/2bscene.rss ) - put all the items in an array and sort by pubDate!

    That's it! :)

    Look up the jtwitter jquery plugin.

    You could randomly go through the players twitter names displaying a tweet at a time.

    Doesn't Twitter have a widget to allow sites to embed tweets (similar to the Facebook like thing)?

    Yes - but for one profile.

    Although - it might be worth looking into see if it's possible to show from your lists

    And it is - https://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_list

    Another possible solution!

    Cannot seem to configure this??

    Found This which is exactly what I am looking for

    A Noobie with no HTMl Java or PHP knowledge everything was done by Dreamweaver

    So the simplest solution possible

    Thanks

    That link uses the script that I posted above.

    Basically, you need to create a list (or use someone elses) that include all your Arsenal players. Put in your username in the link above and select the list and voila - you'll have the code to embed on your website.

    For example, your link users this list : https://twitter.com/#!/OnlyArsenalNews/arsenal-players
