Feedback on new Tweet Embeds

Yes, a callback option would be very useful. I actually have a situation where I need to use setTimeout to wait until after the embedded tweet is rendered, so that I can adjust a vertically centered popup dialog for the new height.

Hi Ben. Thanks for your response! Maybe I’m doing something wrong but I’ve tried both per-tweet and page head options but neither of them are changing the link color for my site @ bdevereaux.com

Is there anything else that can be done until the new documentation is complete?

I have been using the Twitter embed codes for some time on our various Blogger pages but now the tweets are not appearing.

Here is an example: http://www.lapcnews.com/2013/01/final-table-of-340-doublestack-with.html

We placed a tweet under the photo and it shows up when you first load the page but then disappears and it is just an empty box.

I checked old posts with embedded tweets and they are all now showing up the same way.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Hi Brooke. Just checked your site and there does seem to be an issue with the colour being applied inside the widget. I’m looking into it for you now!

Looks like the new embed codes were interfering with our poker card graphics code. We found the problem and fixed but just an FYI for others using Blogger that this could be an issue if you have some custom code on your pages.

No worries, I discovered it needs to be a plain vanilla DOM element. Easiest way to do that with jQuery is:

twttr.widgets.load($(’#container’)[0]);

silentmouth · 2013-01-28T19:08:36.000Z

It’s supposed to be that way so that it’s protocol relative (can use either http or https).

Thanks! I didn’t think this would override styles inside an iframe, but it seems to work…

If you want it to be more flexible you could use “min-width” instead, e.g.

#twitter-widget-0 { min-width: 100px !important; }

Hi @BenWard, thanks for this great feature. After this update our embedded tweets now render narrower, at 350px instead of the 550 we set in the blockquote markup. See here:

Daily Spin

Ron Paul, Twitter, PTSD and Chris Kyle

Navy SEAL and lethal sniper Chris Kyle was shot to death at a gun range this past Saturday by a fellow former Marine who was supposedly mentally ill. Ron Paul, who's no stranger to controversy, tweeted that Kyle's death seems to confirm the old...

Even if we omit the width attribute the embedded tweet renders at 350px. Is it something to do with our markup? Thanks.

Hi @jasoncosta. Prior to the updates I had been using this line of CSS:


.twt-reply{display:none;}

…to prevent my embedded tweets from also displaying the tweet to which they were replying. When embedding multiple tweets from the same conversation, this can get rather messy and distracting.

Since the updates, this no longer seems to work. Websites that had previously displayed several clean tweets in a row are now messy with repetitive @replies appended to each and every embedded tweet. See an example here: http://is.gd/8kkGPq. Until a couple of weeks ago, none of the embedded tweets in that post were displaying the tweet they @replied to.

Is there something I can do to once more display only the tweet I’m embedding and no additional tweets from that conversation?

[THIS IS RESOLVED INSOFAR AS I REALIZED I CAN JUST INCLUDE THE data-conversation=“none” COMMAND IN EACH INDIVIDUAL TWEET TO NIX THESE @REPLIES. IF THERE IS SOME LINE OF CSS I CAN INCLUDE IN A PAGE THAT WILL DISABLE @REPLIES IN ONE FELL SWOOP, I’D LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. OTHERWISE, I’M COOL.]

Is there an option to hide embedded media by default, when embedding a tweet, no matter what source it is from?

brianellin · 2013-02-07T21:44:35.000Z

Yes, using the data-cards=“hidden” attribute on the embed code blockquote element. See the new “Controlling Tweet Display” section in the documentation over at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets for more info.

GraceSocial · 2013-02-20T19:29:39.000Z

how do I change the default text for composed tweets through a search feed with multiple search terms?

MonsieurKuda · 2013-03-20T22:19:54.000Z

Hi @SkydivingBS

Could you tell how to modify the max width to 612px the same way you changed the min-width and min-height.

Thanks

MonsieurKuda · 2013-03-20T22:20:46.000Z

Can I change the max-width to 612px?

georgegijo · 2013-06-29T03:06:12.000Z

I am struggling with the new twitter timeline embed. I would like to change the background color. Currently there are only two options light and dark. Please let me know how can I change the background color to some other color, say blue.

benward · 2013-06-29T23:44:10.000Z

Use the transparent chrome setting (see the documentation); rather than support a limited set of background styles thought a background colour attribute we just support making it transparent, and you can set a colour, image, gradient, inset shadow or whatever you please in the container on your own page.

How do I change the font size. I note that some have managed to do it (eg the ABC at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-07-01/rudd-unveils-new-ministry/4790720) but there also seems to be a lot of chatter that it’s simply not possible. Can you clarify…

SLS_DEV · 2013-07-10T19:20:00.000Z

I’ve tried just pasting

Tweets by @pmhfinancial

into my asp.net page under the twitter div, but it wont show anything but the Tweets by@XXXX

I really do miss how easy it was with blogger.js, it was great and worked perfectly for retrieving feeds, before I had to create an OAuth class for a usertimeline, that with json and no wrapper elements and a custom css, just returns ugly no spaced, no line heightended, tweets all in black boring text without clickable links.
