HI there,

I'm having some issues with my twitter module, long story short - i cant see it!

i have looked at all the other topics on this and generally refer to the fact that you need views, which i have - and it needs to be correctly adjusted which i watched a video about and followed the instructions carefully!

I have added the account under the user area of my site, the twitter actions works fine and i can post to my twitter account when i update a page; but i just cannot see the feed block.

The block appears in the build blocks page - but when i assign it to a region its not there, its not even showing any indication of being there; like a title or alignment issues.

Does the twitter block respond to any themes built into the site? i have designed a custom theme for my site so perhaps i need to add something in the page.tpl.php file or the style.css?

if anyone could help that would be great! if you need any files let me know!

I'm new to Views so I could very well be missing something. But the Twitter module project page kind of implies "Install Views, Install Twitter Module, fill in your user name and password, enable the block and you're in business". I'm using Drupal 6.14 with the 6.x-2.6 version of Twitter and 6.x-2.6 of Views.

It's not really made clear but if you go to admin's profile and add a twitter account username there, then the 'All tweets' block will start spitting out content. The Twitter username in the Twitter module setting section is ONLY for outgoing, I suppose, since filling it in made no difference.

I had the same problem. Looked like everything was OK, did not show any visual installation errors or anything, but just refused to pull in any tweets and show them in a block or a page, under my modified basic theme.
So, I switched back to default Garland theme, set up everything again (Twitter module), and... it worked like a charm. All I had to do was, switch back to my own theme again.
Never had a problem since.
And, by the way, you must run CRON to pull in the tweets!

Yea that was it. Weird, no documentation on that. I'm sure there is somewhere but who knew.
Cool!
