Hi all

I would like to paste the Twitter photo feed shown on this page (http://www.giffmex.org/news.html) into a tiddler. I am planning to replace my website with a TiddlyWiki. Is this currently possible? I tried copying and pasting, but the script ends up showing.

Blessings,

Dave

Hi Dave

It is possible, but the process is a little involved:

1. Visit https://twitter.com/settings/widgets while logged in to Twitter

2. Click the "Create New" button at the top right

3. Configure the widget as you like

4. Click the "Create Widget" button

5. Copy the generated HTML code to the clipboard. Mine looks like this:

<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/Jermolene" data-widget-id="570677909237792768">Tweets by @Jermolene</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

6. Create a blank HTML file containing the following template with the Twitter widget embedded in the middle where indicated:

<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>

7. Save the HTML file as (say) "myfeed.html" in the same folder as your TiddlyWiki HTML file

8. Embed the HTML file via an iframe such as:

Let me know how you get on,

Best wishes

Hey that was easy! Thanks a lot! Here is the result: http://www.giffmex.org/aboutus/index.html#Twitter%20feed

Note that our site is now a TiddlyWiki. Check out also http://www.giffmex.org/aboutus/index.html#TiddlyWiki
