[Plugin: Twitter Badge Widget] Follow line too wide for widget

  • Nice Plugin!
    Using the ‘Narrow’ format however, the Follow button, Twitter username and number of followers are all on one line meaning that the line is too wide for the average widget width.
    Is there any means of displaying the Follow button, Twitter username and number of followers on either two or more lines or being able to hide the button?

    Hi Ecksteing, thanks for your comment. The interactive follow button code is implemented by Twitter using javascript.

    https://dev.twitter.com/docs/follow-button#width-and-alignment

    I’ve had a quick experiment with the parameters and setting the width to say 150px but that just truncates the information.

    The only solution I can think of is to call the API directly and display the results under the control of the widget rather than letting twitter control it. Then it will be possible to use standard css to control how it displays.

    Will do some more checks and see what can be done.

    Interestingly enough the badge has changed today. It gives options to make the button even bigger and the count appears in a bubble. However it still does not solve the problem of being too wide for the narrow format.

    When the twitter badge shows the day when a tweet was sent, it says 2 day or 3 day instead of days (plural). Is there a fix for this?

    Hi Rob, thanks for your feedback. Just had a look at that and it was an easy fix it should be appearing in the repositry shortly.
