Twitter Widget Disrupting Site Script

  • I’m using Pageline to build my site, and in one of the widget areas, I want to put a customized Twitter widget (I don’t like the one that WP provides).

    However, whenever I try to copy the coding and paste it into a text box, the widget disrupts the entire site script.

    here is the website: amyhoney.com

    I frustrated beyond belief and I’m done messing with it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • That’s an interesting one – my JS console tells me that TWTR isn’t defined – it could be that you’re trying to access it before it’s finished loading the assets from twing.com.

    Try changing the code to this – it will delay the initialisation of the widget until everything’s loaded properly:

    $(document).ready(function() {
	new TWTR.Widget({
		version: 2,
		type: 'profile',
		rpp: 4,
		interval: 30000,
		width: 'auto',
		height: 300,
		theme: {
			shell: {
				background: '#d9a5d6',
				color: '#bd46a1'
			},
			tweets: {
				background: '#ffffff',
				color: '#000000',
				links: '#cfbb36'
			}
		},
		features: {
			scrollbar: false,
			loop: false,
			live: false,
			behavior: 'all'
		}
	}).render().setUser('_amyhoney').start();
});

    Also, when I view the source in Firefox, there seems to be some extra HTML that could be messing things up:

    }).render().setUser('_amyhoney').start();
</script><center>
</div>

</body></div>

    I don’t see that in IE, so I don’t know if it’s something Firefox is doing, but can you just check and make sure you’re not putting that </body> tag in there?

    Cheers,

    –Jon.

    Hi Chief,

    I tried it but it still didn’t work. Instead of fighting it, however, I chose to simply install a better suited widget called “Tweet Blender.” It works much better than the generic one-size-fits-all-but-doesn’t-really widget.

    Thank you very much for your help!
