@all Due to the upcoming Twitter API change, every application will now need an OAuth key for each request. To meet the upcoming shutdown of the old API, we have already updated our Twitter widget.

Please vote this topic up to bring developers attention to this bug. In my view this big is a serious issue.

I just upgraded to the latest WidgetKit and now NONE of the WidgetKit modules I use are working anymore. I only use it with one twitter feed, and all that displays is NO TWEETS FOUND, and yet my Twitter account has hundreds of tweets, AND prior to the so called upgrade it displayed my tweets perfectly! Last upgrade of WidgetKit broke other things, is this software being tested before releasing it??

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.

Take a look here and here.

Please remember: this question is about "display multiple twitter feeds" in Widgetkit. If you have issues with Widgetkit please ask a new question.

Its best to upvote the original bug report to bring developers attention to it.

the answer that is in this thread from the Yootheme guys is not correct. I have two twitter feeds, definitely with recent tweets, and it does not show the last two in one of the feeds, and nothing from the other feed.

The Twitter Feed in WidgetKit is broken, and is effectively unusable for me now. YooTheme need to correct this ASAP, as I need to display feeds from a user account, and directed to a user account. In my configuration, I have set the same User Account in the From and To fields, but no tweets display. If I remove the user in the To field, then the tweets display.

This is an issue, and it has nothing to do with these 6-day API restrictions ....

Hi Everyone,

This doesn't appear to be a Twitter issue. It's a Yootheme issue.

I have Joomla 3 (new install) with Yoo_Catalyst and Widgetkit 1.3.1

I enter a single twitter username in the settings, with no @symbol in front

I clear the entire cache, not in Joomla, but by logging in to backend server, and clearing entire contents of cache directory.

<CTRL+F5> on the home page to force complete rebuild.

Check the cache again; this is what I see;

Widgetkit has spawned and interacted with Twitter.

I see GALLERY directory, I see TWITTER Directory, a widgetkit js and css file. Now I check the TWITTER directory.....

I have a nice freshly minted PHP page which contains, guess what?

5 lovely new tweets from the chosen user!!!!!

NOTHING APPEARS in the FRONT-END of the site! The module remains BLANK. So, I change module publishing position from SIDEBAR-A to the FOOTER; as a test; and what do I see?

NOTHING - module doesn't appear at all; let alone its title and blank real-estate as in the SIDEBAR position;

One more try - this time publishing to ABSOLUTE;

NOTHING DISPLAYS at all; not even module title (expected?);

One last attempt, this time TOP-A

NOTHING DISPLAYS; I do see the module TITLE; but zero content.

Hang on; let's check that cache again?

Oh, what do I see?

":"https:\/\/si0.twimg.com\/profile_banners\/912286158\/1351514186","profile_link_color":"392BCC","profile_sidebar_border_color":"000000","profile_sidebar_fill_color":"DDEEF6","profile_text_color":"333333","profile_use_background_image":true,"default_profile":false,"default_profile_image":false,"following":null,"follow_request_sent":null,"notifications":null},"geo":null,"coordinates":null,"place":null,"contributors":null,"retweet_count":1,"favorited":false,"retweeted":false,"possibly_sensitive":false}]

All the cached content is there (truncated above to protect the innocent).

So? What gives Yootheme team? Your stuff is normally so good. Your code is obviously grabbing the content for the module but is struggling to show anything. I note a bunch of errors in my httpd error_log saying "cannot find personal.css". Could this be associated? I cannot tell which yootheme element is trying to call this CSS so can only guess!

Cheers

Dave

Twitter has new rules, check https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines. That means: minimum size, logo and buttons became mandatory. You can create the embedded timeline using the Twitter site tools, install the code in joomla articles or modules and it does work. But the Widgetkit provided by Yootheme is not complaint with new Twitter rules.

I did that Josh and it does NOT show previous versions.....

does not work with multiple twitter feeds. the update didt work for me

I've the same problem, somebody found a solution?
Regards, Giovanni

Same issue here. If I enter more then one then no tweets appear.

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.

Regards, Giovanni

Hrmm... I just tried it and it didn't work for me. Wish they would just fix this.

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,
artur

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. ;-(

SOmeone post a alternative plugin to use please. YOO theme drop the ball on this!

Hello

Have just update my widgetkid, but i also got the same problem.

Jesper

Where can I download previous version from please someone??

@steve.lees go to the widgetkit download page and click the "Archive" link to view previous versions.

hmmm, you're right. I recommend emailing info@yootheme.com

same problem here, only one account and No tweets found. working great with previous version...
no previous version in the archive section!

Found a working solution from this URL

It was posted by sebastien.desnoulez

I am using joomla 3 and after this change shown below, the tweets work.

Replacing line 150 of media/widgetkit/widgets/twitter/twitter.php

$url = 'statuses/user_timeline';
$params["screen_name"] = trim($from_user,'@');

with

$url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name='.strtolower($from_user);

Same here, can't use multiple tweeter feeds..!

Solution from mohd.meeran.sarjoon worked for me. YOO Theme, please fix this in the Widget Kit install!

I am also having trouble with this aspect of the widgetkit... funny i didnt even think of researching it as i expected, as i was paying for these things that they would work! ha!

I do have the same problem on a worpress based site.
No multiple tweets. Well it does show something but not the tweets from the users I entered. Looks more like it is searching for the words I entered.
I entered DTS_Inc THX and it doesnt show me the tweets from those both users, but all sort of tweets using the words THX or DTS_Inc.
If I only enter one user (DTS_Inc or THX) everything works fine.

mohd.meeran.sarjoon 's solution didnt work on my wordpress site.

And I do have another prob. The tweets just show: BY_X X_HOURS_AGO instead of the real Name and Date.

Working with Widgetkit 1.4.4

Widgetkit 1.4.4, WordPress 3.5.1

My tweets also showed BY_X and X_HOURS_AGO instead of the real name and date. I translated Widgetkit to fix the problem.
