Requesting Twitter embedding

Malunis 13 Mar 2009 12:25

This is my first post here on the Wikidot community, so, sorry if I make mistakes. I've recently joined Twitter and would like to use it on my own site. I saw that some people here have requested it but haven't really gotten a real helpful response.

I don't want to use the iFrame code for it either. What I want to do is somehow embed the HTML they provide for a miniature frame which provides your most recent posts. If anyone can help make this happen, please post here. :)

I see, but… I can't seem to make it work. All I get is the plain text of the iframe code. I'm doing what the page says, but it doesn't work.

EDIT: Here's what I get; http://www.majhost.com/gallery/MalTenshi/zScreenshots/iframeissue.png

Have you tried this: http://community.wikidot.com/howto:use-html-scripting ?

You can also take a look at this tutorial: http://community.wikidot.com/howto:add-a-custom-google-search-engine and follow steps 1), 2) and 4). What you need to do for Twitter should be analogical.

Well spotted maki. plus:-

http://psc.wikidot.com/test:twitter/

is my code.
you need to replace it with something like

http://malunis.wikidot.com/nav:side/code/1

if you go to permissions in admin:manage, you can set them so that "show page options to " registered at wikidot. then i can see the full code that you have on that page

good stuff! its working. now just to tidy it up… put [!-- before the code and --] after it

[!--
[[code type="html"]]
<html>
<div style="width:176px;text-align:center"><embed src="http://twitter.com/flash/twitter_badge.swf"  flashvars="color1=13209&type=user&id=24114515"  quality="high" width="176" height="176" name="twitter_badge" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /><br><a style="font-size: 10px; color: #003399; text-decoration: none" href="http://twitter.com/Malunis">follow Malunis at http://twitter.com</a></div>
</html>
[[/code]] 
--]

this will "hide" the code block

I see, thanks! :) This helps a lot. I seem to have an issue where the window is too big for the nav bar, but I can just put it on the main page if needed.

Thanks again!

to fix this we need to change the css setting for the side bar, and the page content. This is done in admin:manage custom themes.

or change you theme to one with a wider side bar :-)
