3rd Party Requirements: ------------ MUST READ: You need to purchase the jQuery Social Timeline plugin:

dpSocialTimeline

It is currently $7. I did not create that plugin, I only ported it for use with Drupal, I do NOT make any money off of this whatsoever. If you have issues with newer releases of the jQuery plugin please try an older version. The creator of that plugin does not work with me in any way and does not want to be involved in this whatsoever so I am forced to wait for his releases and try and upgrade based on them. Sorry for the inconvenience!

IMPORTANT: The 7.x-1.7 release included a lot of bug fixes. If you haven't updated yet, do it!
Please make sure you are using a jQuery version higher than 1.5. Use the jQuery Update module: https://drupal.org/project/jquery_update. 1.7 is recommended.

For version 7.x-1.6 and above:

The new version of the jQuery Social Timeline plugin does not support Colorbox anymore, it is using something called MagnificPopup. This is included in the plugin when you purchase it and there is nothing extra you need to do. This is bittersweet as it means you don't need to install the Colorbox module and library but it's also not as appealing out of the box. You may customize it using your own CSS however.

If you are using version 7.x-1.6 or above of this module please make sure you have the latest jQuery Social Timeline plugin if you want to use a lightbox/modal.

Usage: The Social Timeline module has two parts to it, the configuration page and the block that is provided on the Structure -> Blocks page. Once you configure the module on the configuration page: Configuaration -> Social- Timeline, you can then go to the Blocks page and place the jQuery Social- Timeline block in a region of your choosing.

Drupal 8
I have created a Drupal 8 dev release. Please try it and test it out if you are curious. It provides more flexibility than the Drupal 7 version. You can create as many blocks as you want, each with it's own configuration.

When you purchase the jQuery plugin extract it to the Social Timeline module root in a folder called "library". Set the credentials as described above.
