How can I get my Search Widget to show ALL tweets, not just the popular ones?

tulpa_info · 2012-05-27T11:48:23.000Z

I’m running into this exact same problem. Everything in my twitter feed worked fine until a few days ago, now it’s no longer displaying the “All” results, just the “Top” results. It’s vital that my widget displays the “all,” since I’m using it to get a few certain subjects.

What I need, is to be able to have it return “all” results for, at the very least, “from:tulpa_info OR to:tulpa_info”

argh guyz!

I have the same problem on my websites.
Did anybody find any info on this??

Has any developers commented on this yet? I have a very large website that I’m using the search widget on to collect “from:” queries, and the twitter feed is blank right now.

Same problem here.

We have the same problem, the widget on the side bar of our home page (www.strathpeffervillage.org.uk) now only shows top tweets and omit many of the most important ones related to Strathpeffer.

In our widget code we have toptweets: false, but that no longer works.

We want “all” tweets, including those from us at the website promoting events and activities in the village. Over the last week or so it has failed to show our tweets at all, even though the code has from:StrathVillage and our tweets always include the word Strathpeffer. Obviously we are not yet one of the top (most popular?) tweeters on the subject of our village!

So whatever they’ve done at twitter to the coding they’ve completely broken what was a very good widget. Unless it’s fixed pretty quickly we’ll have to search for an alternative widget which is a shame.

Even the widget creation tool on Twitter’s site now only displays the top tweets instead of all of them. It’s really bad what they’ve done.

Same here for the widget on my website - it’s now coming up completely blank, presumably because there are no “top tweets” for my search (#fitbanorth). It was a really useful feature before this weekend, and now it is seemingly gone?

Who do we hassle to get an explanation behind the changes made, and lobby to get it reversed if appropriate?

Exactly the same problem here. About a week ago (maybe longer now), the search widget was pulling “all” recent tweets. Now it is loading only the “top” tweets. I have tried sending in help requests and they just keep sending me to the developer site and the basic info pages and won’t answer my questions??? Getting frustrated. I just want t know if the search widgets are only going to pull “top” tweets now or is it a bug. Cmon Twitter, please respond. Bring back the option to have “all recent” posts, please!

Download the file “widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js”.
Open this file, and search for the string shown below.

if(!this.runOnce){this.url+="&result_type=filtered"}

Change filtered to mixed, and save.
Reading this javascript file, it works as before.

Sorry I’m not good in English…

@kingoro777 THANK YOU!!

Sinned_O · 2012-05-31T11:46:07.000Z

@kingoro777 thank you very much!

tulpa_info · 2012-05-31T15:16:28.000Z

@kingoro777 Thank you, this is perfect!

StrathVillage · 2012-05-31T18:45:55.000Z

@kingoro777 Thank you!! You are a star, that worked perfectly.

fireharp · 2012-06-01T09:42:57.000Z

you’re a truly genius! Thank you very much

gaut_3 · 2012-06-01T12:52:34.000Z

Thank you!
Live stream still doesn’t work. The auto reload shows only the top tweets. Any idea how to fix that?

fitbanorth · 2012-06-03T14:36:06.000Z

Sorry, not quite following that instruction there - how do I “change and save” that script file?

xtgtraining · 2012-06-04T10:38:19.000Z

Do you mean in the HTML code? Because can’t find the string…still having no feeds in search widget

24Usro · 2012-06-05T08:50:00.000Z

Thank you, @kingoro777, I had the same issue and using a modified copy of the JavaScript helped! Unfortunately 3 days after the event where I needed it, but at least it’s useful for the future…

MetSlow · 2012-06-05T12:53:52.000Z

for me when i edit the js file, tweets seem to be shown in latest order, which is great, but i have all the timestamps shown in seconds, for example 3500 seconds ago…if i edit my won html that contains the widget code, and disable time stamp, it dont work. Also, applying that change above to the js file for me, shows the tweets in a funny format…did this happen for everyone else ?

fitbanorth · 2012-06-05T21:47:34.000Z

Where are people saving this js file? I’m not following that part.
