Hello,

some users would like to embed Twitter. Just wondering if this is possible; we can't get it to work with the plugins.

Hi Dirk:

Although Twitter doesn't support RSS anymore, a rebel figured out how to do it:

http://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=YOURTWITTERID

You use the External feed block, of course.

Who knows how long it will last? BTW, the site text at http://twitrss.me is pretty funny.

Wait a minute....I have that running on my own profile page.

Thanks Don for remembering. There will be some happy teachers here...actually they are psychologists I think but does it matter anyways?

Cheers

Hello Dirk,

If I remember correctly, the plugins needed to be updated as Twitter made some changes to its API.

Cheers

Hi Kristina,

Do you know if anyone has had chance to update the HTML purifier for twitter?

Currently the embed code is of the following form:

<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/JimJUK">Tweets by JimJUK</a> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Any advice to help get this working would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Jim

Hi Jim,

We haven't had an HTML filter for Twitter yet. There is a Twitter plugin, but that would need updating. We can look into updating the plugin or implementing an filter if you wish.

Cheers

Kristina
