Twitter Timeline Blank???

    I’ve tried adding the twitter timeline plug-in, however I am having some trouble with this. The plug-in shows up in the plug-in manager, and below the code I have in template.

    {exp:twitter_timeline}
    <div class="tweet">
            {name}
    </div>
    {/exp:twitter_timeline}

    I started with more settings however I slimmed it down to that to test, and still nothing. Also, as suggested, I enabled template debugging, and below is all the info I get for the problem:

    (0.193244 / 9.46MB) Calling Class/Method: Twitter_timeline/
    (0.193420 / 9.46MB) -> Class Called: Twitter_timeline
    (0.193473 / 9.46MB) Using ‘public’ Twitter Timeline
    (0.196277 / 9.46MB) Twitter Timeline Retrieved From Cache.
    (0.204071 / 9.53MB) Twitter Timeline error: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.

    Hi durg,

    Have you added the screen_name parameter to it?

    Try the default code from the docs as a test

    {exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="EllisLab"}
    <div class="tweet">
        <div class="date">{created_at format="%m-%d %g:%i"}</div>
        <div class="author">
            <div class="icon">
                {profile_image_url}
            </div>
            {name}
        </div>
        <div class="status">{text}</div>
    </div>
    {/exp:twitter_timeline}

     

    It looks like you came up against a rate limit for the Twitter API which leads me to believe your change is not working as expected so make sure permissions on your system/expressionengine/cache folder is set to 777
