Twitter Updates Sidebox Contribution Support Thread

[soki]

Because of the security alert I decided to display the twitter sidebox only in main page here is how I done that

go where the twitter sidebox is ,

mine is at /includes/modules/sideboxes/twitter_sidebox.php

edit the file

find this argument

$show_blank_sidebox = true;

delete it and replace with

 if ($this_is_home_page) {
    $show_blank_sidebox = true;
  } else {
    $show_blank_sidebox = false;
  }

i found the solution from here

I had my home page previously like this... however, IE 8 still got security warnings. Make sure you previously didn't allow the page to load with security setting ignored etc.. this may have stored in your cookies thus you don't get warning anymore.

Make sure your checking all browsers and versions etc.

CHrome, firefox and IE7 below are ok.

Haven't tried the BEAT IE 9 Yet.

Many people use IE 8 and with me removing the twitter sidebox sales seem to be climbing slightly.. too soon to notice if much damage was done from warnings.

As I have said before, this is not the best solution for a twitter sidebox.

I have another solution but have not had time to package it for upload to the contributions. I have always provided my mods for free but it's getting harder and harder for me to find the nonpaying time to get them ready for the general public.

The new box uses jquery and I have found that due to the twitter api not always being available, it occasionally doesn't load.

Personally I would not use this twitter sidebox on an ecommerce site at all.

Thanks Delia!

I blame the twitter API not you :)
