Hi,
Anyone know how to do a current live Twitter feed?
Looking back through the archives, Walter’s Chirp action seemed the answer, but I can’t find it at Action Forge - does it still exist?
Thanks

Hi Jon,
It’s pretty simple – go here: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/new and choose the options you want. When you’re ready, click the Save button and paste the code provided into a markup item in Freeway (Insert>Markup item). the code will look like this:
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt="true" href="https://twitter.com/softpress" data-widget-id="601318227952726016">Tweets by @softpress</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>
Hope this helps,
Joe

Indeed that works in terms of getting the feed onto the page.
Where do you set the attribute for the height to be a maximum to keep it within a set space?
Currently it extends beyond where I’d like it to go.
Many thanks.

Just to let you know, Chirp was discontinued when Twitter changed their rules around their API. There’s no way for a third-party to do what Chirp did – get the data you wanted from Twitter, without the penalty of injecting their JavaScript and tracker cookies into your page. Twitter want to be Facebook, and unfortunately, that means becoming evil and creepy.

Thats a pity about Chirp. Sounds like it was what many folk were looking for.
I managed to work out the issue regards the height by adding in the height attribute into the markup item.
All is as it should be.
