Simple Twitter Search Plug-in

I created a simple Twitter Plug-in - using the Twitter Search Widget - to incorporate something similar in your APEX application as shown here below. The APEX demo is here.
You can download it (soon) from http://www.apex-plugin.com.

Hi Roel. Have installed the plug-in. looks Great.
Am I missing something as I don't seem to be able to change the code anywhere to allow it to bring in the feed from my twitter page? All I can see the posts from the APex Group?
Thanks in advance
Mark.

Hi Mark,

You can create an additional region (named P4_TWITTER_SEARCH in the example) and reference that when you use the plug in in the field "Search for field". You can enter &P4_TWITTER_SEARCH. there - so it will search for the contents of P4_TWITTER_SEARCH - (or a fixed tekst if you like).

Thank You. I realised the search box info, just after I posted the message. I didn't want the search box to show to our users and realised that I could edit the plug-in code in the line:

apex_application_page_regions.attribute_03%type := nvl(p_region.attribute_03,'APEX Plugin');

and edit the "Apex Plugin" bit to reflect the default twitter account it uses.

Anyway, it's really good and thank you for your fast response.
Mark.
