Conflict with twitter embed code script

What happens when you go here:

http://drupal6.vandervortsweb.com/

Do the timers show? They do for me in FF, IE, and Chrome at least.
I am running 6.x-1.x-dev though.

When you turn off jstimer, does the slideshow still work with twitter?
I've read that the twitter widgets like to be included in the section of the html.
How are you doing that?

Hi there,

I don't use JavaScript timer, but am encountering the Twitter conflict. I have a custom module developed which does use JavaScript time intervals, and since I have included the Twitter profile widget it returns errors in Chrome and Safari, it's fine in FF...

Error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object function (E,F){var D=F||window;var A=[];for(var C=0,B=this.length;C ...

any ideas on how to resolve this conflict?

Thanks,

I think you guys will probably want to bring this up with drupal core. I don't think jstimer has anything to do with it. It seems like it is a conflict somewhere between Drupal core javascript code, jquery and twitter.

You are right, this doesn't look like it's a jstimer issue. I may have found the answer in this post: http://tech.avivo.si/tag/twitter-widget-js-error/

The problem is in included JS file: http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js

Recipe:

1. Download their JS file http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js
2. Open it and use Find command in notepad and look for the Array.forEach and then change it to Array.prototype.forEach
3. Save this file again locally and put it somewhere in your web application folder
4. Reference this script in widget directly instead of their JS file

This fixed it for me...

I'm having a problem with Javascript Timer on a page with a Twitter widget as well. I have tried the above fix and it didn't work for me.

Message: Object doesn't support this property or method
Line: 24
Char: 5
Code: 0
URI: http://www.mywebsite.com/sites/default/files/jstimer/timer.js?2

The line showing when I use IE's script debugger is:

active_widgets[i].attach();

The problem only exists in IE. Firefox's error console shows no errors and the timer works fine there. It will not display in IE and the problem only exists on a page where the Twitter widget also resides. When I pull the Twitter widget off the page, no problems. Note that this problem did not exist prior to me upgrading to the Javascript Timer module. When I used Countdowntimer, it worked fine having a Twitter widget on the same page in IE.

Any advice for getting these to co-exist on the same page with no IE error?

@wildlife:
Try disabling jstimer and see if all of the rest of Drupal javascript runs normally. In the past the twitter widget crashed everything and the error message was not indicative of anything wrong with jstimer.

Everything works fine when I disable jstimer as far as I can tell. In fact, I reverted back to the old countdowntimer module and it is working fine. I can leave it like it is now because it works, but I'd rather keep the module up to date if possible. Jstimer is working on all other pages of the site where the twitter widget is not present, and it works when I remove the twitter widget from that page. I can let you take a look at it if that would help.

@wildlife
#9 should be fixed now in 7.x and 6.x
Make sure to start new issues when the error message is not the same as the original.

I'm still getting a similar error. Should I start a new issue?

@wildlife,
sure, if the error looks different.

@wildlife,
try a dev snapshot from tonight.
Make sure to regen the js file by "submitting" on the admin page.

Just to let you know that the latest dev release (6.x-1.x-dev from March 26) fixed the problem for me (conflict with both Twitter widget and Views Slideshow). Thanks!

#8 comment worked for me too.

Comment #8 worked for me in Chrome and IE9, but not in IE7 and IE8. In the end, I ended up getting the widget.js source code and found out that using the following widget fixed the problem:

I've made 2 hacks. Search for 'Hacked by Bas' for those.

Hi there,

We used the search type until about a month ago. It has just stopped working. Has there been any updates to this widget or changes to access ?

<script src="widget.js"></script>
<script>
//http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets/widget_search
new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: 'search',
  search: 'word',
  interval: 6000,
  title: 'Search Results: ' + '<%=sid%>',
  subject: '',
  width: <%=width%>,
  height: <%=height%>,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#8ec1da',
      color: '#050505'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffffff',
      color: '#444444',
      links: '#1985b5'
    }
  },
  features: {
    avatars: true,
    scrollbar:true,
    loop: true,
    live: true,
    hashtags: false,
    timestamp: true,
    toptweets: true,

  }

Twitter has updated its API. I believe you can't use a widget any more and must rewrite your Twitter App and authenticate to it via OAuth.
