Sure thing. It’s actually a bunch of game event sites… GDC_Europe, PAX, GETWIGI, Gamification, CasualConnect, GEEXshow, and a bunch of others. About 40 in total I think.

Actually, it’s working now I think… just a bit slow on loading. I also think that some of the accounts were wrong before but I fixed those. If accounts are old is another problem it seems.

Hey Eric. If you don’t mind could you list out the users you are trying to stream?

I’m still getting the “Tweets cannot be decoded from feed.” error. This worked wonderful for several refreshes… then just came up with this . Any way around it? I absolutely love this program otherwise. Thanks.

Mike, I fixed the issue with the status link not working. Twitter changed the way status ids were generated which creates an issue with the max integer Javascript can handle. As a fix Twitter is now including a string version of the number.

Ska, I updated the url to include retweets.

To upgrade to 1.2.4 overwrite TwitterWidget.php.

thanks for the script

> Tweets cannot be decoded from feed

include_rts (Retweets) works for me

if (!curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL,
‘http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=‘
. $user . ‘&include_rts=true&count=’ . $this->count)) {
throw new Exception(‘Cannot set cURL twitter url.’);
}

Hey, Ive been using this widget for about a year and its great, but now when i click on the tweet time (“about _ hours ago”), I get taken to a twitter “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” page. Did twitter update their status pages so that this function no longer works? The plugin seems to link to a /statuses/ directory of the twitter user. The status is actually now in the /status/ directory on twitter. They must have made some changes. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hey Ronak, thanks for the tip. Removing the spaces between users did it for me. Thanks again, great widget. I’d like to see the ability to select how many tweets to show for each user in the future if it’s possible.
Thanks.

Chris, you might have discovered a bug. When I copied in your list of users literally I got the “Tweets cannot be decoded from feed” message. If I removed the space between each user as such: MCRofficial,gerardway,raytoro,mikeyway,frankiero the widget worked. If this works for you I will add this to the list of bugs.
