Why cant i see twitter? | Twitter Module is not displaying

i'm sorry i forgot to post the link to the site i'm working on:

http://apartypalace.co.uk

the twitter feed is supposed to be appearing on the right-sidebar where indicated..

Has cron run? Try running cron manually from /admin/reports/status.

Twitter module does not have any statuses to display in the block until cron pulls in new ones from Twitter.

hmm i ran cron but its didn't work - twitter does seem to be appearing on the list of modules that are being updated

Same here! Exactly the same problem as lugzmedia -- block won't display and running cron does squat.

same here.

all i want is just display a few tweets in my page.

twitter goodies profile status update good but shows up in the block not exactly where I want.

I have the same problem. It's been recommended to use the Feed aggregator which is gathering the feeds from Twitter (and that's all I need) but that doesn't work for me either. I can't display neither of them in the side panels. I can display anything else and I've updated the permissions as well but it might be different problem from the one you have.

If you visit http://example.com/user/%/tweets do you see a list of tweets? (replace the % with your Drupal user id)

If there are tweets listed then there is probably an issue with the views code in the block.

If there are no tweets listed try putting some watchdogs on the drupal_http_request() results from twitter_fetch_timeline() and twitter_fetch_statuses() to see if maybe you are having connection/rate limit issues with Twitter.

will give it a shot a report back ....

I'm also having trouble seeing the twitter box in a block on a website.

However, having tested the widget code in a page, it works and content created on the site is getting to twitter.

Is it a problem with just blocks???

Hi everyone - ok i have come to a resolution, first of all i was using the twitter module - i then realised that this module is really only good if you want to post updates directly from your site to twitter! i realise it probably does more than that - but hey ho...

the twitter widget that is provided here (i honestly didn't know this existed!) http://twitter.com/goodies/widgets give you the hard code you need, now this doesn't work if you place it into a block - why? i dont know! it just doesn't maybe someone else can answer that!

I chucked this code straight into my page.tpl.php file, into the right hand region div tag - in the Widget script you can chose you colour and the width and height of the API, i chose transparent as the BG colour and adjusted the width and height accordingly see http://apartypalace.co.uk for the final results!

I'm now going to close this thread. Thanks to everyone for their input!!

Hi there,

opening this issue again! #10 lugzmedia I clearly disagree as the module description says:

> Out of the box, it allow users to:
>
> 1. Associate one or more Twitter accounts with their Drupal user account
> 2. Have their tweets displayed in a sidebar block or on their user profile, and
> 3. Post to their own Twitter account or a site-wide Twitter account whenever they create new content.

Point 2 clearly says that it also DISPLAYS your tweets, not only sends your posts to twitter.

By the way, having the same problem over here - posting to twitter works great, but nothing shows, not even blog views.

Set this to critical as it seems to concern quite some people.

I too seem to have this problem. I figured i could just enable the Twitter module, add the global Twitter user name, then put the "All Tweets" block in my sidebar and be good to go. However nothing shows up in the sidebar from the Twitter module.

I'm stuck at the same place as logicalpat. Is there some configuration that I'm missing?

FYI, on my settings page (http://example.com/admin/settings/twitter), I've entered the global user name and password, checked "Import Twitter statuses," and selected "4 weeks" under "Delete old statuses." However, after the screen is saved, the password is blank and the "Delete old statuses" is set back to "Never."

A couple more things:

When I try to preview any of the Twitter views, the result is blank.

On my user account page, the Twitter tab is also blank. Looks like that is rendered by the view, so maybe those issues are linked.

Again, maybe I'm missing some config, but I can't seem to find any info on what to do. Any pointers would be appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the twitter widget code as it worked before with the older style widgets. i have sites which use this and still function properly.

I am also having the same issues, the default blocks provided are empty and if I try to create a view nothing is displayed.

Using the url /user/%/tweets simply returns an title of : 's Tweets

OK, documentation needs some work for very basic usage (single Twitter account updates one block)... I stepped thru the code and got it to work as follows:

• login with your superuser account so no other role permission changes are required
• configure Twitter setup at admin/settings/twitter
  • enter your global account Twitter username
  • enter your password
  • check Import Twitter statuses
• edit your account at user/1/edit and click the Twitter accounts subtab
  • the global account Twitter username should be shown
  • check Import and click Save Changes
  • this will create the default record in table twitter_user
• run cron at admin/reports/status
• ...done

@#10 For the widget to work you'll need an Input Format that doesn't do any processing in your HTML. I've created a 'Raw' input and deselected all the processing options. It's useful also for mp3s.

Twitter Not Displaying in a Block

I was having similar problems as people here with my Twitter feed not displaying in a block. I was doing this from the Twitter widgets , and not the Twitter Drupal module.

I figured out that part of the problem was a conflict with the YUI module and YUI editor. Each time I saved the block with my Twitter script, anything in a tag was getting erased. This makes sense from a security standpoint for Yahoo, so I'm not criticizing that module.

To fix the problem, I disabled the YUI and YUI editor modules (Admin->Site building->Modules). I then went back to the block creation, and again pasted my code from Twitter into the block. Note that you also need the Input format to be Full HTML. I saved the block, the script remained intact, and the Twitter block populated with my feeds.

I was able to re-enable the YUI modules, and assume I won't have any problems unless I try to edit it again.

This might not be the specific problem that people are having, but I hope it will help point to possible conflicts with text editing modules. The comments above all helped me figure this out, so thanks everyone.

#17 Has it right.
I had the same problem and didn't realise you had to manually run that import step in the user account.

Doco needs to be updated to reflect this.
