Near Perfection!

A proper set-up for four tweets at a time is coming soon.

Currently it’s in a very very flaky beta – and only works with the development version of the plug-in and WP_DEBUG (in wp-config.php) set to true!

There are quite a few issues to solve with regard to ‘clashes’ with other plug-ins that use version 1 of the JQuery Cycle plug-in – and some work to do to make the plug-in properly responsive.

The development version of the plug-in now supports several tweets at a time. Try switching to version 2 of the script on the settings page and using rotation_type = 'carousel' ??

Wow! That was fast, how awesome, thanks! It seems to work on my client’s blog just fine, even with WP_DEBUG disabled so that’s great. Just one question, it seems to be roughly based on size, is there any way around that? My guess looking at it is that it takes the height of the first set, but it doesn’t adjust it as it goes because sometimes you can see a portion of a tweet on the top and/or bottom. It’s not a major concern but something to think about. Otherwise I love it! I think this is exactly what they’re looking for.

After thinking about it, was what I described earlier not a problem for you? I forgot that I am including this plugin via a dynamic sidebar inside of an iframe. I think the problem is that the iframe is set to a specific height via jQuery when it first loads. I don’t recall this script every time it rotates, so the iframe does not dynamically adjust to match the current content. Sorry for the trouble! And thanks again for such fast support!

I didn’t write the carousel plug-in but I guess it doesn’t adjust the size of the frame all the time as the tweet size varies – because that would jig the page size around all the time.

I haven’t checked whether it takes the size of the first set – or a multiple of the size of the first tweet. I think it might be the latter.

You can adjust the number of tweets it starts with – although only via changing line 1075 of rotatingtweets.css.

$v2options['carousel-visible'] = 3;

There is a problem that you sometimes get part-tweets at the top of the carousel, but I haven’t worked out how to replicate the problem reliably yet. It may require an adjustment of the jQuery Cycle2 Carousel plug-in – although that’s probably quite tricky!
