    Great plugin David!

    I was wondering, would it be possible to ignore mentions/replies? I just want to show what I tweet without al the conversations (@‘s).

    Yes.  Is there a way to filter which tweets get posted?  I have posts from my blog get automatically tweeted but then I don’t want that feed to appear on my site.  It’s a circle then, isn’t it.

    I’ve posted the question on GetEE…. hope you have a fix for it.

    This might help : http://www.interactivellama.com/blog/archives/ignore-direct-tweets-and-seo-urls-with-twitter-tools-wordpress-plug-in/

    UPDATE:
    I’m not an PHP expert but this seemed to work for me. It will only display 1 tweet, and it will be your latest tweet ignoring mentions/replies (@‘s). Haven’t tested it with Retweets yet.

    This is de new Foreach loop

    foreach($xml->channel->item as $items) {
            if($i <= 1) {
                $variables[] = array(
                    'title' => substr($items->title,strlen($username)+2), // Depreciated due to conflict with channel:entries tag
                    'post' => substr($items->title,strlen($username)+2),
                    'link'     => $items->link, 
                    'date'     => date("U",strtotime($items->pubDate))   
                    );                    
            }
            
            if (substr($variables[$i-1]["post"], 0, 1) != '@') {
                break;
            } else {
                unset($variables);
                // $i++;
            }        
            
        }

    I released an update to tweetline that adds new functionality. You can grab the latest version at http://www.getee.com

    It adds new parameters for mentions and retweets. Also, I incorporated caching into the plugin. The current parameters / tags are listed below.

    Best,
    David

    Parameters:
    ————————
    username: Twitter username.
    limit: The maximum number of tweets to pull
    retweets: (Default true) - If false then retweets (RT) will be removed
    mentions: (Default true) - If false then mentions (@‘s) will be removed
    cache: (Default 10) How long to store the cache API request in minutes. The minimum value is 3 due to API restrictions at Twitter.

    Tags:
    ————————
    link: Link to post on twitter
    post: Title of the post
    date: Date the post was added (accepts format parameter)
    rel_date: Returns the data in a relative format (i.e. ‘1 day ago’, ‘about an hour ago’)
    count / total_results / switch are available by system default
