Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ThinkTwit
There is a known issue where the ThinkTwit sub menus will not expand after you add a widget for the first time. Please simply reload the widgets page and it will now work going forwards.
This is determined by your settings within the widget or your custom call. The default is set to 5.
If using the update frequency "Live (uncached)" ThinkTwit will show tweets that have occurred as far back as "max days" (up to the last 7 days, due to restrictions in the Twitter API). However, any other option will utilise ThinkTwit's own cache and will therefore display anything within the cache (up to "max days"). The exception to this is when the "Paused" option is selected - this will retain tweets (and display those tweets) indefinitely (until the update frequency is changed from "Paused").
If you aren't caching tweets then a message will be shown stating: "There have been no tweets for the past 7 days", but if you are caching tweets then it will simply show the tweets stored in the cache, even if they are older than 7 days. This message can be customised within the settings.
ThinkTwit uses the widget API so should be styled correctly by your theme. It has some default CSS but you may, however, wish to turn this off (in the ThinkTwit Settings) and add your own. If so you should find the following information handy: ThinkTwit essentially outputs tweets as a list The list container can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets All tweets can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitTweet Individual tweets can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets #tweet-n where n is the number of the tweet Odd and even tweets can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitOdd and ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitEven accordingly The author within a tweet can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitTweet a.thinkTwitAuthor The author suffix within a tweet can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitTweet a.thinkTwitSuffix The content of a tweet can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitTweet a.thinkTwitContent The published time within a tweet can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitTweet span.thinkTwitPublished The "no tweets" message can be accessed using ol.thinkTwitTweets li.thinkTwitNoTweets The AJAX error message ("Error: Unable to display tweets") can be accessed using `p.thinkTwitError' NOTE: Be sure to use the id to access each style in order to over-write the default CSS.
Turn on no-caching in the widget settings.
Instead of outputting HTML it outputs Javascript. The Javascript uses AJAX (via jQuery) to make a call to a method that returns the HTML which is then inserted in to the correct location. I'm using no-caching but nothing appears below the title Your theme is probably not setup properly. AJAX requires a location to insert the returned data from the server-side call. ThinkTwit puts it in to the div that contains the widget. A Wordpress theme written correctly should output a unique id for each widget that is output. Inform the developer of your theme to have the following (or something similar) in their register_sidebar function: 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">' I'm getting strange errors or no output You may need to clear and rebuild your cache - please use the Clear Cache button within Settings -> ThinkTwit in the Admin area, and then reload the page containing ThinkTwit. Otherwise please re-install - see uninstall instructions.
You can apply a filter - see the following URL for an example: http://digwp.com/2010/02/remove-nofollow-attributes-from-post-content/
Show when published - indicates whether the time the tweet was made is shown e.g. "This happened 1 day ago" Update frequency - indicates how often Twitter should be contacted to get a list of tweets. Use this to turn on or off caching, and to decide how often to update the cache
The uploads/thinktwit/avatars folder may not exist or it may not be writeable (this folder is required for caching avatars). Check that your Wordpress installation has the write permissions to the uploads folder.
