Thread

I recently tried implementing the Twitter Timeline plugin and I could not get it to display my Tweets. It would only (it seemed) display the “Public” Tweets.

Here’s how I had the code setup:

{exp:twitter_timeline type=“user” user=“[email protected]” password=“my_twitter_password” limit="5"}

<div class="tweet">
  <div class="date">{created_at format="%d %m %g:%i %a"}</div>
  <div class="status">{text}</div>
</div>

{/exp:twitter_timeline}

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Jason

Greetings!

Have you followed the steps under troubleshooting in the plugin’s documentation to see if any errors are being returned?

Hi Greg,

Thanks, but I have not. I’ll give that a try when I get home later.

Best,
Jason

cool.  Thanks.  Keep us posted.  😊

Okay, I tried again with debugging turned on and I used the same code as shown in my original question above. Of course my password has been swapped out for display here in the forum. But here’s what Expression Engine returned to me:

Notice above it says it is using the ‘public’ timeline which is consistent with the Tweets that were showing up in my blog. It’s as though it’s ignoring the fact that I specified the ‘user’ timeline. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hm- can you double check the tag- make sure there aren’t curly quotes/odd characters in it.  The debug suggests there are, but that could be a copy/paste issue.  I’d go in, delete and retype the quotes.  Clear the cache.  See if that made any difference.  If not, I’ll try it on mine.

Oh- and make sure you’re running the latest version- looks like 1.2.

That fixed it Robin! Sweet!

I guess the quotes I copied in have a different ASCII code from the ones entered from the keyboard.

Thanks a lot for your help and congratulations on your promotion, btw 😊

Glad to hear Robin helped you get things working again. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
