Embedded Timelines Questions

NavisiteTestacc · 2013-02-26T16:48:00.000Z

Another workaround idea that IS working for my issue with display:none divs.

I use an iframe inside of the divs. That way the widget loads up just fine (although after being rendered its technically an iframe in an iframe!) But it works!!

Example:

Then on the twitter_timeline.htm I have the following:

@USJoe_UN

Tweets by @MyUserNameHere

How do I post a message here ???

OK here is some more useful information for those looking to dynamically recreate the widget after page load.

http://tappetyclick.com/blog/2012/12/20/how-dynamically-resize-new-twitter-widget

I was able to change that script around a little and get it to dynamically reload the widgets inside my hidden divs. I added the username and the widgetid to the options being passed in and used that to dynamically rebuild the widgets.

Kinda feel like I’m talking to myself here, but hopefully someone will run across this group of posts and it will help them out.

The code that I’m using (hopefully this will display OK here!)
function loadTwitter(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (!d.getElementById(id)) { js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); } }

function removeTwitter(id) {
$(‘script[id=’ + id + ‘]’).remove(); // Remove the included js file
$(‘iframe.twitter-timeline’).remove(); // Remove the timeline iframe
}

function addTwitter(options) {
var linkStr = 'Tweets by ’ + options.widgetuser + ‘’;
$(linkStr).appendTo(options.element);
}

function showTwitter(id, options) {
removeTwitter(id);
addTwitter(options);
loadTwitter(document, ‘script’, id);
}

Then when I load up one of my hidden divs I call the showTwitterFunction like this:
showTwitter(‘twitter-wjs’,{element:’#yourdivIDorClass’,widgetid:‘123096637326008320’,widgetuser:‘TheUserHere’});

Please note this uses JQuery

Any idea when an embedded search timeline will produce ALL posts and not just “top posts”…?

blouinjonathan · 2013-02-27T06:11:57.000Z

Any time frame?

I created a widget and pasted the HTML code on our Community Assistance Program wesite, It was working fine and showing our feed, but now it only shows “Tweets by @RxMedAssist” on our page. http://www.yousavemore.org/news.html

Should I be using yousavemore.org , *.yousavemore.org , or www.yousavemore.org ?

Thank you,
Michael

When I look at your link it seems to be working fine.

Can we attach javascript tracking events like we do for the “tweet” and “follow” button.

Here is my jsFiddle test for embedded timelines: http://jsfiddle.net/jtassi/x6nFE/1/
And here is the code snippet that works for twitter button, but not timelines:

twttr.ready(function(a){
twttr.events.bind(‘click’, function(){
console.log(‘clicked’);
});

 twttr.events.bind('follow',function(){
     console.log('follow');
});

twttr.events.bind('tweet',function(){
     console.log('tweet');
});

});

Well, this thread suddenly got way more interesting…

jeremyking588 · 2013-03-01T19:52:00.000Z

im trying to get it to work through Adobe Dreamweaver and all i get on my page is tweets by @jerermyking588. I have reviewed everything and cant seem to find the problem. here is the code direct from the widget maker:

Tweets by @jeremyking588

I’m trying to insert a live Twitter feed into a CMS, but all that comes up is the “Tweets by @_____”. As far as I know, the domain name is correct, so I’m not sure why it won’t work. If you have any feedback, it would be much appreciated.

here you can find a fix:

check out the second answer with the hideTwitterBoxElements() method. That works!

Hi,

Using the embedded timeline widgets configurator I created a widget to scan for a hashtag for a local campaign that I am attaching to a blog for it.

https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/308268396879937537/edit?notice=WIDGET_UPDATED

On the blog, I can only see tweets from others and none from myself, despite the preview on the configurator SHOWING my tweets. Also, search does show my tweets:

https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23saveburnagelibrary

but on the blog, the place where it has to show my tweets doesn’t show them. Right hand side of…

saveburnagelibrary.blogspot.co.uk

Save Burnage Library

Save our Essential local library from closure!

But yet it shows tweets from the others without issue.

What I really want to see is all of them or at least know that the preview of the widget actually shows me what I am going to get on the blog so I know something is wrong. I am relatively new to using the embedded timeline widgets and given I can’t control the hosting of the files on the blog server, I am very limited in what I can do (for example, hacking widget.js and uploading locally to the blog is not an option).

How can I get the twitter feed to show all the #saveburnagelibrary hashtag tweets, INCLUDING mine?

Thanks in advance

What was the fix for the @geekREVOLT was having? I have the exact same problem and I believe it is something with my account @lauracabrera

Hello, I cannot get my clients embeded twitter timeline to work. The website is http://www.dream-nyc.org. I added all of the domains to their twitter widget including, dream-nyc.org, www.dream-nyc.org.

I also added the squarespace domain dreamnyc.squarespace.com. Is this not working because it is a squarespace site? I don’t understand this error.

ladybug_3777 · 2013-03-04T19:12:00.000Z

Arnita,
When I did a “view source” of your page I noticed that you don’t have a data-widget-id on your anchor tag.

Your anchor tag looks like this:

Tweets by @DREAM_NYC

But it should look more like this:

Tweets by @DREAM_NYC

See how the “data-widget-id” attribute is missing on the first example? Try getting your code again, perhaps your deleted it accidently. (Or something is stripping it off!)
