Displaying favorite Twitter messages
The plugin includes a component Favorites that lets you to output your favorite twitter messages on a page. Add the component to your page and render it with the component tag:
{% component 'twitterFavorites' %}
You can manage the number of favorite messages with the component settings. If you don't like the default favorite messages markup, don't use the component tag and just write your own code:
{% for favorite in twitterFavorites.all %}
<blockquote>“{{ favorite.text_processed|raw }}”</blockquote>
<p class="author">
<img src="{{ favorite.user.profile_image_url_https }}"/>
<span>{{ favorite.user.name }}</span>
<a href="{{ 'http://twitter.com/'~favorite.user.screen_name }}">@{{ favorite.user.screen_name }}</a>
</p>
{% endfor %}
See Twitter favorites API documentation for the information about available fields.

Hello folks!
Great job with the plugin, I have a question, maybe you have a quick solution, I'm implementing an embedded timeline area of tweets, and they are displayed in columns, example: [Tweet 1] [Tweet 2] [Tweet 3] [Tweet 4] There is any simple solution to just display in a row? Like this: [Tweet 1] [Tweet 2] [Tweet 3]
I have already tried adding some styles but I didn't get anything :(
Regards!
