Older Tweets #144

Hi,

Love the widget, but have a question. Is there somewhere I can request older tweets? It seems it only pulls tweets that are a couple of days old. Is it possible to get older tweets to display as well?

Thanks!

Does the page option do what you want? ie., set page: 2 in your options. I know somebody used it to add "< older" and "newer >" links to his customized jquery.tweet.js widget.

I don't want to use pages. I have it set to display 10 tweets from various tweeters. But if they haven't tweeted anything in a few days nothing shows up. I would just like it to pull from further in the past to make sure it is never blank. Does that make sense?

Aha, well that's a different issue. I guess you have:

username: ["user1", "user2", ...]

and that means tweet.js must use the twitter search API. That API often returns stale results, and doesn't return old tweets.

Instead, try creating a list on twitter which follows those users, then configure tweet.js to display the list.

There's sample code on the examples page.
