Embedded Timelines Questions

Codling · 2012-10-10T12:42:08.000Z

to fix this issue you have to make sure in the domain option you put both domain name with www and without, example: thiswillwork.com, www.thiswillwork.com. This fixed the issue for was scratching my head all weekend but it was that simple to fix. Hope it works for you

Yeah, I thought it might have been that, but it’s actually set to both already and still no joy. Not sure why this would prevent the preview from displaying in the widget generator on twitter itself either.

To clarify, I can get any user timeline to work on the site and in preview aside from for this user @NurserySurveyor (https://twitter.com/NurserySurveyor)

on the page where you configured your widget, there was a field labeled “Domains” – you need to have “lantos.databasespace.net” in that field to tell us where you’ll be running the widget.

I’m struggling with embedding a Twitter list in our application. The problem is that we only want the Twitter widget to be displayed when the user clicks on a “News” link. If we follow the normal procedure of embedding the script, then the Twitter feed displays in our home page. If we only run the TWTR.Widget script from a javascript method launched by clicking the “News” link, then the Twitter feed doesn’t appear in the correct place in the DOM. What I’m trying to do is very simple and obvious behavior, so I must be missing something obvious.

This is the script that I’m using:

                <script>
                new TWTR.Widget({
                    version: 2,
                    type: 'profile',
                    rpp: 8,
                    interval: 30000,
                    width: 'auto',
                    height: 223,
                    theme: {
                        shell: {
                        background: '#9ebbc7',
                        color: '#4069a6'
                    },
                    tweets: {
                        background: '#ffffff',
                        color: '#000000',
                        links: '#1b6694'
                    }
                 },
                 features: {
                     scrollbar: true,
                     loop: false,
                     live: false,
                     hashtags: true,
                     timestamp: true,
                     avatars: false,
                     behavior: 'all'
                 }
                 }).render().setUser('GTExPortal').start();
                </script>

GTExPortal · 2012-10-10T16:30:55.000Z

As a work-around, I’ve embedded the script on the page in div with display:none. My javascript code then displays or hides this div as needed.

Is there a delay with embedded timeline? If so what is it? Just created one with a search query but the latest tweet is from 18h ago, even though I’m seeing tweets on twitter.com at 4m and 8m ago using the same hash tag.

lingerieplusUk · 2012-10-10T19:26:57.000Z

hi guys, was so excited to find out about the widgets and thought id give it a try BUT it wont work I have tried embedding the widget html code into my website home page www.lingerieseduction.co.uk and all I get is a link saying Tweets by @lingerieplusUk which takes the visitor to my Twitter page any help would be much appricieated, cheers x

MyNewsWizard · 2012-10-11T00:56:16.000Z

I am having trouble getting embedded timelines to appear full size, even when I set the width in the HTML code. Specifically, the bottom arrow on the scroll bar does not appear, and the timeline just ends abruptly. In Safari and Chrome, the timeline is about one-third of my specified width, and only one or two Tweets appear. Is there any solution to this?

InReachCo · 2012-10-11T07:42:48.000Z

Guys really sorry to be a pain, can anyone work out why this has just stopped working for me?

My web address is www.in-reach.co.uk and the twitter feed is located in the main area on the right of the page. Used to work fine - Now just loads/spins.

AdaptUK1 · 2012-10-11T09:34:56.000Z

As with previous people my page just displays ‘Tweets by @AdaptUK1’ on my webpage and not the feed. Is this because I am just previewing in Dreamweaver or is something incorrect? URL is adapt-uk.com

bentomedia · 2012-10-11T12:14:41.000Z

My test timeline widget shows broken image symbols where the profile pics should be next to each tweet.
Also, when I build the same URL into an iPad app, the widget appears as just a blank rectangle containing the text ‘Tweets by @bentomedia’. Could you help, please?
I have tried entering my domain a second time without the ‘www’ as suggested in other posts here but the Widget Configurator won’t allow me to do this, producing a ‘Unable to update your widget, please check your inputs’ message.

hannahbarracuda · 2012-10-11T12:57:00.000Z

Hello, this still will not work for me!
the domain is http://properpanda.tumblr.com/

Any advice?

Rootside · 2012-10-11T14:21:35.000Z

I’m looking after several accounts – on one, I can create timeline widgets, on the other, I get the “Something is technically wrong” page. Is there anything I can do to check what’s going on? A setting I have to change? An app to approve? Any info about whether it’s a known issue?
(It’s not a private account)

Thanks

P.S. +1 on the “don’t include @-replies” feature. That can be a very unfortunate dealbreaker for people who “broadcast” via Twitter, but also reply to specific questions.

bentomedia · 2012-10-11T15:28:01.000Z

I’ve fixed the widget’s broken profile pic by removing the pic from my profile and uploading it anew. However, I’d love to be able to get the widget working in Adobe DPS (using its embedded webkit-based in-app browser) for our newspaper app. Is there something I can do to the Twitter code to force it to load the redirect rather than stumbling at the “Tweets by @xxxxxxx” line?

hello

Rootside · 2012-10-11T17:36:43.000Z

I’m getting this error. Any information on this at all?

I’ve been trying to embed a User Timeline widget into my LightCMS website, and it just won’t work. I contacted the LightCMS Support, who have been trying to help me and they eventually took a look at the code. They tried to put the code into other active sites - but they couldn’t get it to work either. Is there something wrong with the code or does it not work with the LightCMS platform?

Thanks,

Suggestion: when creating the widget in your Twitter settings, check your ‘domains’ field: try

www.amandalambmusic.com, amandalambmusic.com, *.amandalambmusic.com

or a combination of those. I see that http://www.amandalambmusic.com redirects to http://amandalambmusic.com. This might be the issue – seems to be the most common source of trouble with this widget here, anyway.
