The Chirp Plugin is an extension for Grav CMS.
With Chirp you can embed Tweets with the [tweet] shortcode and customize the template as your theme needs.
This plugin requires Shortcode Core to work.
Installing the Chirp plugin can be done in one of three ways: The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method lets you quickly install the plugin with a simple terminal command, the manual method lets you do so via a zip file, and the admin method lets you do so via the Admin Plugin.
To install the plugin via the GPM, through your system's terminal (also called the command line), navigate to the root of your Grav-installation, and enter:
bin/gpm install chirp
This will install the Chirp plugin into your /user/plugins-directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/chirp.
To install the plugin manually, download the zip-version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to chirp. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/chirp
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which may require other plugins to operate, please see its blueprints.yaml-file on GitHub.
If you use the Admin Plugin, you can install the plugin directly by browsing the Plugins-menu and clicking on the Add button.
Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/chirp/chirp.yaml to user/config/plugins/chirp.yaml and only edit that copy.
Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:
enabled: true
built_in_css: true # Set to `false` to use custom CSSNote that if you use the Admin Plugin, a file with your configuration named chirp.yaml will be saved in the user/config/plugins/-folder once the configuration is saved in the Admin.
You can insert a tweet passing an URL through the property.
