Widgetkit twitter bug bug (can't display multiple twitter feeds).

How to reproduce:
Create module and add two twitter users separated by space (e.g. user1 user2) in "From User(s)" field. Under Limit enter 4. Publish the module.

Result:
Only the last users twitter feed is displayed.

I need to display twitter feed from 4 users. Feeds should be mixed or sorted in some way. Single feed is working fine. Am I missing something or this is a bug?

I'm using a different twitter plugin on my site and it don't seem to have this problem with twitter API. Its the same site, same twitter feeds, same Joomla installation. With different twitter plugin I can show multiple feeds and there is no 6 day limit. There are no Twitter API issues.

If what you are saying is correct, than that could mean two things; 1) there is a different API that others are using or 2) others have a code that is not limited by this API. Either way this doesn't speak well of YOO which is known for high quality code and amazing designs.

Anything happening here?? I have the same issue and have been waiting for it to be fixed in updates but nothing yet. I'm using the lastest Joomla, Yootheme and Widget kit. It's not displaying any new tweets if I have 2 or more users listed.

Hi,

I have the feeling it has more to do with the logic behind the widget. It seems it uses "AND" in stead of "OR" to combine the criteria in the back end. This means that in stead of including more Tweets with every criterium you add, more Tweets get excluded, because they have to have all the criteria, in stead of just any. This is a real problem for us. Developers, please solve it! Thanks.

Hi all, I had this problem and I tried many different configurations.
I belive that if you insert more than an user the widget have a little bug but it affect only the old posts. if you add new tweets after the module it's installed you will see them.
Try it:
1) configurate the widget with two account
2) tweet new messages
3) after 2/3 mins they will start to be visible.

hi,

this seems to be because of the restrictions of the twitter api. it just returns the tweets of the last six days. so if you have not posted anything in the last six, the api just returns an empty result.

greets,

I have the same problem. I have tried everything and nothing have been working to publish multiple twitter accounts. It seems, that YooTheme does not have any answer to that either, because I don't see any reaction from their team in this thread. But, I hope they will come and answer to this issue.

I purchased all products from YooTheme and I believe that the Widgets are the worst Joomla Extensions ever. I have purchased third party for each YooTheme Widget and I am really happy with with the widgets I am using. I think, YooTheme Widgets won't be in my renewing services list though. ;-(
