Too long, didn’t read: HELP! My Profile Widgets are no longer displaying/animating new tweets.
For our company I have developed an application which is very similar to the old Profile Widget generator (which seems to have been taken down completely as of about three weeks ago as far as I can tell). This was developed so our clients/users can insert their Twitter feed into their web pages without allowing them unrestricted access to execution of JavaScript on these pages (we do e-commerce so there are security concerns). This “templates” JavaScript similar to the following, conditional on validation, and embeds it on the page:
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 3,
interval: 30000,
width: 215,
height: 300,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#ffffff',
color: '#707070'
},
tweets: {
background: '#ffffff',
color: '#707070',
links: '#818181'
}
},
features: {
scrollbar: false,
loop: true,
live: true,
behavior: 'default'
}
}).render().setUser('OmniFilm').start();
The widgets now are displaying just fine, but are not displaying any new tweets. Previously there was a very pleasant animation of polling / inserting new tweets into the feed. I’m skeptical that backwards compatibility would just break like this, but anything’s possible. Rewriting the existing system to generate Profile Widgets is almost out of the question at this point (coming up on a major deadline). Please help! Thanks.
