Twitter feed

deadherring

Has anyone had any luck getting a twitter feed working on the magic mirror? I installed the module and inputted my account information in config.js per the instructions and just get a black screen on startup. If I remove the Twitter info from the config file everything works fine.

Thanks,

Nathan

@deadherring I have not. But I do want to report that I am having the same issue.

Post your config so people can check it

Sorry for the delay. Here’s the relevant portion of my config:

{
     module: 'twitControl',
     position: 'middle_left',
          config: {
               maxNumTweets: 3,
               consumer_key: '[redacted]',
               consumer_secret: '[redacted]',
               access_token_key: '[redacted]',
               access_token_secret: '[redacted]'
               }
},

Did anyone ever get the Twitter module working?

Negative. I have, however, made some progress. Just FYI - If you attempt to position a module into a segment that doesn’t actually exist, you will receive an error of cannot read property 'appendChild' of undefined. This actually means “The position ‘center_left’ doesn’t actually exist, jerk.”

Having fixed this, I now see the title “Twitter Feed” on my mirror. It does not, however, actually display any tweets. Still… progress.

Got any updates on this problem? I was about to use twitcontrol on my mirror but get same problem as above. Can only see the Title, but no feeds.

I converted the the desired twitter feed to RSS using https://twitrss.me/

@enith2478 does this give you a static or a dynamic feed from twitter?

Hi, does anybody has had any issues with TwitControl recently? My module stopped working, anything changed with API codes?

It’s possible that the recent changes at Twitter with regard to their API has caused some issues although these changes I believe went into effect in August…

@MaxPower hello

i m working with https://github.com/ulrichwisser/MMM-Widget2 and https://publish.twitter.com/# to embed the code…easy to integrate

MaxPower

@chassain-0 Thank you! I will try to do the same!

MaxPower

@chassain-0 sorry, quick question, do I just copy and paste the code line from the https://publish.twitter.com/# and enter it in to the config control widget, under the code? I get a syntax error under this line.

@MaxPower just past the code line like this :

		{
  			module: "MMM-Widget1",  //ok tweet hyeres
			disabled: false,
			position: "left",
  			config: {
				refreshInterval: 1000*60*60,
				code: `<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/villedhyeres?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by villedhyeres</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> `, // https://publish.twitter.com/
 				iframeStyle: {
				width: "700px",
        				height: "820px",
     					},
  				}
		},

Hi - did you have any other dependencies configured prior to adding this to your config? I just tried this (after installing the MMM-Widget2 app), but nothing is being displayed on the screen. My objective is to display the CNN breaking news feed from twitter.

{
  			module: "MMM-Widget1",  //ok tweet CNN
			disabled: false,
			position: "left",
  			config: {
				refreshInterval: 1000*60*60,
				code: `<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by CNN</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>  `, // https://publish.twitter.com/
 				iframeStyle: {
				width: "700px",
        				height: "820px",
     					},
  				}
		},

looks like this in config MMM Widget2. no try in my magicmirror
