Twitter sidebox Cached

[Phil Lomas]

Help. I am still working my way through zencart and getting to grips with it but am struggling to get my Twitter feed to work. I am posting feeds on twitter but they are not coming through on my site bikeporn.co.uk. Any thought or help as to why this is not working would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Phil

Maybe I should document the cache feature better? I just manually refreshed your cache (by adding ?refresh_twitter_cache to the url) and I see a tweet :-)

Hi Paul

Thats great . Not sure I understand this as I was clearing my browser cache. Does this mean I will have to manually refresh it every time I want new tweets to come through?

Normally it should refresh itself every 20 minutes (you can edit this value in the config file). But if you want a new tweet to appear right away you can manually refresh.

where do I start on this? I downloaded the Twitter Side Box for 1.5 and have the files. I had someone design baystatetoolsupply.com and don't know where to place it or how to place it

HI There,

I installed the latest file and tested the sidebox in zencart with the live tweeter account however, I am getting a dutch translation of the 'Twitter data not available!'
Can you please advise? my site is mmaapparel.com.au

I see tweets on your site, so I assume it was just the cache that wasn't refreshed yet?

@bcolby99: please be more specific about what's unclear about the installation instructions.

I was getting this until I uploadded the new version. However now I get One minuto ago, 5 days ago, 6 days ago etc - shouldn't I be seeing the tweets? They are in the cache file...

The mod seems to be working and I can read tweets in the cache file but they don't appear in the sidebox. I only get links with the number of days ago tweets were posted. Help gratefully received.

Finally got this working - removed this from functions/extra_functions/twitter_cached_sidebox.php:

 if (!(CHARSET == 'utf-8')) { 
  // convert UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1
    $text = iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $text);
  }
