Here’s my code at the moment:

{exp:channel:entries channel='profile'}

{exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="{twitter-name}" limit="5" twitter_refresh="15" create_links="user_mentions|hashtags|urls" use_stale_cache="no"}
<div class="tweet">
<div class="date">{created_at format="%d-%m %g:%i%a"}</div>
<div class="status">{text}</div>
</div>
{/exp:twitter_timeline}

{/exp:channel:entries}

where {twitter-name} is a custom field in the channel ‘profile’.

I’d like to create a timeline that pulls in multiple twitter feeds — is that possible with this plugin?

madebysplendid,

What is your outcome of doing the above at the moment? Have you tested it? In theory it should be ok.
Make sure you have a a dynamic=“no” in your channel entries tag if you don’t wish to contend with the dynamic URL

Hi John,

The code above works okay but only pulls in one person’s twitter feed. I guess what I’m after is the equivalent being able to dynamically pull in multiple @names — effectively something like this:

{exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="@name1|@name2|@name3|@name4|@name5" limit="5"}

Does that make sense?

madebysplendid,

Not with that add-on no. There may be one where you can specify multiple usernames though available on devot-ee.com

The code above works okay but only pulls in one person’s twitter feed.

Do you get 5 different twitter names using the below?

{exp:channel:entries channel="profile" dynamic="no" limit="5"}

{twitter-name}


{/exp:channel:entries}

I get two — but I’ve only entered two so far.

As far as I know, there’s not a Twitter plugin that allows multiple users in a stream, though that sounds like an excellent idea for a plugin. I bet lots of folks would love to see that on Devot:ee. 😉

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for confirming that. I’ve agreed a workaround with my client; we’ll use Twitter Search 2 with a hashtag query to pull tweets in.

Awesome, glad you found a solution, madebysplendid. Closing this one up.
