Twitter Widget Is Blank

This topic has been marked as resolved.

The Twitter widget is not showing any tweets.  It’s blank.  It appears to be occuring on my live store and also on the demo store, so I guess it’s a Shoppica-wide problem.

Here’s a screenshot of the demo store:

My store is http://www.preciousbedding.com

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

Hey just so you know, I think it’s twitter’s fault cause I have other sites using twitter widgets and none of them are displaying.

Hi,

Unfortunately, Twitter retired their old API and for the moment you will have to disable the Twitter widget, until we provide a normal solution. Hopefully, this won’t take more than a couple of days.

You can also follow these steps to integrate the default Twitter timeline widget:

1) Go to Twitter > Settings > Widgets > Create new > User timeline and create a new widget.

2) Open catalog/view/theme/shoppica2/template/common/footer.tpl, find this code block:

<?php if($footerInfo['twitter_button'] == '1'): ?>
<a href="https://twitter.com/<?php echo $footerInfo['twitter_username']; ?>" class="twitter-follow-button right" data-show-count="false" data-lang="<?php echo $footerInfo['twitter_button_text']; ?>" data-show-screen-name="false">Follow @<?php echo $footerInfo['twitter_username']; ?></a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
<?php endif; ?>
<h2>Twitter</h2>
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $tbData->theme_javascript_url; ?>twitter.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $.getJSON('https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=<?php echo $footerInfo['twitter_username']; ?>&count=<?php echo $footerInfo['twitter_tweets']; ?>&callback=?', function(tweets) {
      $("#twitter_update_list").html(get_tweets(tweets));
    });
  });
</script>

and replace it with the embed code provided from Twitter.

Unfortunately, you can’t style this timeline the way it was before. You will have to wait for the solution that we are preparing.

Best,

Any update on when this might be available? I’d sure like to have Twitter working again.

Thank you.

Hi,

Here is a topic that explains the current footer situation :)

For those that have problems with the Facebook likebox width, be sure to use the “Like box” widget type from the theme CP.

Best regards,
