## Description

Generate inline content previews on Twitter.com and Twitter clients by including
[Twitter Card](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards) HTML meta elements for individual
posts.

All cards are a Twitter Card summary by default. Tap into the `twitter_card_properties`
filter to reference the Twitter accounts of your site or author.

Test your site’s Twitter Card display through [Twitter’s card preview tool](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/preview).

### Filters

 * `twitter_cards_properties` – act on an array of properties before they are output
   to the page
 * `twitter_cards_htmlxml` – override the default treatment of `html` with `xml`.
   XML will self-close the meta void element ( “” vs. “” )

## FAQ

  Why don’t you support feature X?

I wrote this plugin for my own site, [NiallKennedy.com](http://www.niallkennedy.com/),
added some slight flexibility through filters, and released the plugin on GitHub
as [a PHP library](https://github.com/niallkennedy/twitter-cards-php) with [a WordPress plugin wrapper](https://github.com/niallkennedy/twitter-cards).
I use summary cards for my site’s articles. If you would like to add better support
for photos, galleries, videos, apps, or products exposed to Twitter you can fork
my work and optionally send some code in a pull request.

  How do I add my Twitter account?

First you need to hook into the filter from code in your theme or site plugin(s).
You can add this code to your theme’s `functions.php` file or create a new file 
in `wp-content/mu-plugins/twitter-cards.php` or something similar.

    ```
    add_filter( 'twitter_cards_properties', 'twitter_custom' );
    ```

Next you need to modify the array passed to the filter with your own values.

    ```
    function twitter_custom( $twitter_card ) {
        if ( is_array( $twitter_card ) ) {
            $twitter_card['creator'] = '@niall';
            $twitter_card['creator:id'] = '1085';
        }
        return $twitter_card;
    }
    ```

The values generated by the plugin are passed to your new function for manipulation
before output.

The Twitter API function users/show is a good way to lookup your account information.
Copy the `screen_name` and `id_str` to `creator` and `creator:id` array values respectively
in your filter function referenced above.
 https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.
json?screen_name=niall

Your Twitter screenname may change but your Twitter ID will remain the same. Grab
both while you are setting up your site to provide Twitter with the best data.

  You forgot to include a trailing slash on meta elements

The plugin outputs HTML-style void elements without a trailing slash by default.
Add XML-style trailing slashes by returning a value of `xml` on the `twitter_cards_htmlxml`
filter.
