Twitter Timeline through Expression Engine

Question

Can anyone help me integrate Twitter through Expression Engine. I am new to expression engine and I have tried to follow the example the Twitter Timeline developed by the EE team but couldn't get it working.

Can anyone help me with step by step process in EE2?

Thanks

You'll need to post the exact code you're using if you want some help here I'm afraid. Though since Twitter Timeline is a "first party" plugin (developed by EllisLab themselves), you should just post your questions in the technical support forum instead. — Derek Hogue

Using the example from the Twitter Timeline Plugin download page, insert the following code into one of your ExpressionEngine templates:

{exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="ladygaga" limit="3"}
    <div class="tweet">
        <div class="date">{created_at format="%m-%d %g:%i"}</div>
        <div class="author">
            <div class="icon">
                <img src="{profile_image_url}" width="48" height="48" alt="" />
            </div>
            {name}
        </div>
        <div class="status">{text}</div>
    </div>
{/exp:twitter_timeline}

Note: The plugin only works on public Twitter feeds, so make sure that the feed your trying to display is not private. For this example, I'm using Lady Gaga's twitter stream.

All error messages are logged in the Template Parsing Log.

Therefore if you have no output, or unexpected output, enable the Template Parsing Log in the Control Panel's Output and Debugging Preferences at: CP Home > Admin > System Administration > Output and Debugging.

Reload the page in your browser and look through the Template Parsing Log for information from the Twitter Timeline:

If you still can't get the Twitter Timeline plugin to work, post a description of your problem to the ExpressionEngine 2 Technical Support Forum — they'll be able to better help troubleshoot your issue.
