For some odd reason, my twitter user name will not work. I've tried some of my friends user names, and they all work fine.

my user name is februaryson

any suggestions?

Awesome widget! Just one thing I noticed: when I use it with a query and without a username, it still inserts the (default) user into the hashtag link. It should be possible to turn that off, maybe by setting the username to null.

The relative timestamp is neat, but it was taking up too much space in my sidebar. I had to hack the JS to put a short string ("said:") there instead. This should be another option in the configuration.

Setting the alt is great, but it's not shown by all browsers (and is not actually supposed to be shown). Setting the title in addition, to only the name, means that people can mouse over the avatar and see the username.

Hi, I'm about to use your plugin for displaying a twitter feed in a website and when making some tests I noticed that it was displaying an heart in a tinyurl for the following tweet:

39 minutes ago @TheGRAMMYs David Archuleta's new #Christmas from the Heart album is amazing, snippets won't do them justice:) http://tinyurl.com/♥gnr

This is an issue with the regex, you are using [&lt ;]+[3] for matching the "<3" but what that it's doing is matching any string containing those characters followed by a "3" so the "lt3" in the following url is also matched: "http://tinyurl.com/lt3gnr"

I replaced that regex with (&lt ;)+[3] this means that it will match the group of characters and not any of those characters, I test this doing a search for "<3" and all of those where successfully changed for a heart also "http://tinyurl.com/lt3gnr" was not modified this time.

Great plugin btw!

The search api method for twitter only grabs tweets from the last 10 days. So, if you havn't tweeted in a while your tweet widget comes up blank.

If you switch to the user_timeline api method it will grab all the tweets regardless of length of time since last tweet.

This involves changing the url variable to

var url = 'http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/'+s.username+'.json?count='+s.count+'&callback=?';

and editing the each loop to support the new json format.

I want to use the hashtag #gen2010. When I use it with the # sign, the script doesn't show anything.

The reason this is an issue is because there is a user that has that username, and the organization I am working for is using the hashtag #gen2010. They don't want her tweets to show up.

Any solution?

I am trying to put tweet into my blog (blogCFC) and it isn't pulling the most current tweets. It is pulling the the 15th and 16th oldest tweets. I am using the code directly off of there website, so I don't understand why that is happening.

I'm having some trouble, the tweet(s) display no problem with a single-name username, but when theres an underscore in the user name: like_this - it doesnt work.

Is this something that I have to escape in the on load javascript?

Thank you for your urgent help!

Okay. So I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post support issues here. But I had my tweets running on my website for a while and then they just disappeared one day.

www.carolinaandhuy.com

The tweets are supposed to load under the main navigation.

And also on this page: http://carolinaandhuy.com/en/contact.html

You can see that it says "Loading tweets..." But nothing happens.

If anybody can have a look or point me in the right place to post this question it would be much appreciated. Can anyone tell me what happened? Because I haven't made any changes to the site in months.

Anyways, Thanks.

Hi seaofclouds

First of all, thanks for providing this great script :)

After implementing it on my site, I noticed there's an issue - some of my tweets appear and some doesn't. I've been trying to notice a pattern but unfortunately I wasn't able to isolate the fault.

If you check out my site here http://bit.ly/7ErxCi and compare it to my twitter page at http://bit.ly/6dNi1t, you would notice the problem.

I hope you could help to look into this, or at least point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Cheers,
Damian
