Hashtags

[brandudno]

I'm having issues with hashtags and documentation seems to be limited - can anyone help?

Currently I'm trying to pull through a specific hashtag using the following snippet -

  $('.tweet').twittie({

        hashtag: 'networktoolkit',
        dateFormat: '%b. %d, %Y',
        template: '<strong class="date">{{date}}</strong> - {{screen_name}} {{tweet}}',
        count: 10
    }, function () {
        setInterval(function() {
            var item = $('.tweet ul').find('li:first');

            item.animate( {marginLeft: '-220px', 'opacity': '0'}, 500, function() {
                $(this).detach().appendTo('.tweet ul').removeAttr('style');
            });
        }, 5000);
    });

This just pulls through my twitter feed with no reference to the hashtag. What am i doing wrong?

Your snippet is correct. The Twitter Search API just doesn't seem to go as far back in time as the last tweet containing "#networktoolkit". I tested it by writing a new tweet with "#networktoolkit" as a hashtag and it showed up in the feed - and yes, I used the same snippet as you above. Try using another tag or writing new tweets containing the hashtag and you will see, that it works fine.

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly!

I've had a quick look and I'm still not sure it's working 100%.

Does this work for anyone who tweets that hashtag? I only want tweets from anybody who contain that hashtag

As I wrote: "I tested it by writing a new tweet with "#networktoolkit" as a hashtag and it showed up in the feed". Try that yourself.

Thanks, just tried this again and it just seems to be pulling through all tweets regardless of hashtag.

Problem is somewhere else then. I'm having no problems with it. Can I see it somewhere?

[brandudno]

Yep, thanks for helping with this -

Scroll down just a little and you should see the feed.

At the moment, I'm just trying to pull through a trending hashtag so it's current.

   $('.tweet').twittie({
        hashtag: 'PremiosGoya',
        template: '<div class="single-tweet"><p>{{tweet}}</p><br /> <span class="username">{{screen_name}}</span></div>',
        count: 10
    }, function () {
        setInterval(function() {
            var item = $('.tweet ul').find('li:first');

            item.animate( {marginLeft: '-780px', 'opacity': '0'}, 500, function() {
                $(this).detach().appendTo('.tweet ul').removeAttr('style');
            });
        }, 5000);
    });

I copied your script and it works.

Maybe you have a caching problem? It seems you are requesting all tweets with: http://digitronixcloud.co.uk/dev/cihm-toolkit/wp-content/themes/nhs-network-tool/assets/api/tweet.php?username=&list=&count=10&exclude_replies=false But your code doesn't match this request. Clear caches and try again.

[brandudno]

No luck /:

Could the server be caching?

I noticed if I add &hashtag to that url it pulls through all tweets

[jenbuzz]

Yes, it could. You could also try fixing all the js errors on the page. Anyways the problem is not Tweetie.

[brandudno]

Thanks, could I have a look at your example and see if I am missing something? Thanks!

[jenbuzz]

The same code. Just try it out locally or somewhere else instead.
