Hi,
In a website I’m developping I want to be able to let the user fill in their Twitter username. For example : @SeazeTheTini . Then I would like to generate their tweets. How would I go about doing this? I know how to get the twitter widget from the dev site for a specific username. However I don’t know how to make the username in this generated code variable. Any suggestions/help are welcome.
Kind regards,
Maarten.
The data-screen-name override could help you out here. Once you have created a user widget, you can use the same widget-id and specify a screen name override.
E.g. Here I specify an override with your username
for some reason, my widget is NOT generating a Widget ID #? I have tried recreating the widget but no luck in getting a widget ID… can anyone help?
We are currently investigating the problem. Currently the only workaround is to get the value for data-widget-id from the URL of the widget configuration page: that page’s URL is of the form https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/XXXXXXXXXX/edit, with XXXXXXXXXX being the widget id.
