show Tweets from multiple accounts sorted by ..

There are several ways to do this.

The first is just to list several accounts in the shortcode or widget, e.g.:

[rotatingtweets screen_name='account1 account2']

Another way is to add the accounts to a Twitter list and show the list:

[rotatingtweets screen_name='account1' list='list-slug']

Or use search

[rotatingtweets search='from:account1 OR from:account2']

Thanks a lot!
I dit it.Everything OK.One more thing.Is there a way this particular list -output to show more screened results?Lets say aroung 10 tweets.I dont mind if its not rotating.

Thanks again
George

At a time? Try version 2 of the JavaScript on the settings page and

[rotatingtweets screen_name='account1 account2' rotation_type='carousel' carousel_count=10 tweet_count=20]

All the settings are listed here.

I tried it but with no luck.
I tried the version 2 of the java script and placed the command on widjet and on a page area.The problem is the carousel mode and its counts.Its not working.It shows as before only one screened sorted rotating tweet (of multiple twitter accounts).I am using the rotatingtweets widget.Is in this widjet a particular command or set up to apply?
I have reviewed the settings you mentioned but couldnt figured this.
Thanks a lot

It’s hard to judge that without seeing your site.

Are you using a widget or a shortcode?

I’ve just tried two shortcodes that definitely work on my site. What happens if you copy and paste them onto your page?

[rotatingtweets screen_name='mpntod winacc' rotation_type='carousel' carousel_count=10 tweet_count=20]

and

[rotatingtweets screen_name='mpntod winacc' no_rotate=1 tweet_count=10]

Be careful that there is no line-break in the middle. They must be on one line. Also make sure there are no spaces either side of the = sign.

Thanks Martin!
You were right.I put both shortcodes on pages and its working.It was my mistake.One more last thing.What about pictures of twitter accounts – not showing – is something i could do?and can i change fonts.Can i place a shortcode??
Thanks again
George

Sure. Including pictures of Twitter accounts is done via including official_format=1 or official_format=2 in the shortcode.

Changing fonts is done via a stylesheet. If you put a file called rotatingtweets.css into wp-content/uploads you can change all aspects of the look via CSS like:

.rotatingtweet {
   font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive, sans-serif;
}

etc. (although that’s not a font I’d particularly advise! ??

Other ‘selectors’ you can use include .rtw_main and .rtw_meta.

Thanks very much Martin!
Everything is ok.I ll try at a later time the css selectors.
I just sent a 5/5 star review
Thanks

Hello Martin again!
The plugin is Great!

I have some questions – if you can help in any of them?

1)I dont get real-time tweets without refreshing the whole page
is a java – ajax script needed or am i doing something wrong with
settings?I dont use any cache plugin.I use this plugin on footer as a
shortcode via text- html widjet not RTwidjet beacause RTwidjet cannot
achive the above screen results i need.
2)Though i set carousel_count=10 and tweet_count=10 i sometimes get less
results on screen…around 5-7-8?.Same problem with no_rotate option as
well.I have set a number of tweeter accounts…that tweet often.
3)Some of the tweets on top and bottom- only on carousel mode – are showing
half?(Its not so important though…)Is it a Css thing?
4)One last..Is it possible by clicking on tweets to link to an internal page
on my site?I have achieved though to open tweets on a new window that i
its ok.

Thanks a lot
George

George,

1. It doesn’t currently get real-time tweets while the page is open.
2. I would set the tweet_count to be much higher than 10. Sometimes Twitter doesn’t return as many Tweets as you ask for. Their search function is quite pernickety. You might need to switch to a list to get more entries.
3. Yes. I’m not sure that’s avoidable unfortunately. I’ll look into it.
4. Only if the Tweet itself links to your site, I think. Or do you mean something else? Would the idea be to have a page per tweet or something similar? You have a choice to have a new window or not.

Martin

OK Martin i understand.

1)I suppose is difficult to partially refresh through a script the footer…and its widjets..

2)If i switch to a list what would be the shortcode? At carousel mode and tweet_count=10?In order to show 10 rotating tweets at a time.I’ve tried it with RTwidget but without success.It does get tweets from a list but shows one at a time not 10..

4)I have set the option to have a new window OK.
i also set 4 categories of tweets at footer and the thought is to link
each category of tweets(text-html widjet with RT shortcode) with a
relative page on my site.So by clicking on a category tweet i would like
instand linking on my relative site page and not to open a new window on
the relative twitter acoount.So i suppose i am looking for an intercept
kind of thing…

Thanks for the prompt support
George

1. Yup. Although some work I’ve done on making RT work with Total Cache means it’s not totally impossible. But it’s a project!
2. Something like:

   [rotatingtweets screen_name='mpntod' list-slug='my-list']

   It would normally depend how many Tweets are on the list. It should show the carousel of 10 if you select it. I’ll see if there’s a bug.

3. So you’d like the whole widget to link through rather than the individual links in the Tweet to change? Changing the individual links would probably confuse people.

Thanks Martin,

for your quick answear,
i ll see about it.

George
