Twitter TL widgets problems

Hi,
After working around a lot with this subject, I'm still pretty puzzled with Embedding Twitter TimeLine Widget into a DPS article.
With current version of the widget, Twitter forces you to specify wich domain(s) are going to use the widget, then generates the HTML-JS code for it. As long as I have seen and read in this forum, local embedding is no longer possible, I made my way through generate an HTML document with the embed code into it, upload to the server which domain is allowed to display the widget, and got to the point where I can see the online web page containing the widget with no problems.
Then, if I use that URL in the Web Content in Folio Overlays, when it comes to Preview the Folio in the iPad, an error message pops up saying something about the Assets not found for the Overlay. If I try to use the same Web Content frame with any other URL works perfectly, only with that URL containing the HTML document with Twitter provided code embedded into it.
I am aware about this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2012/05/26/using-twitter-feeds-in-adobe-dps/ but the code used there is not so far the one provided by your Twitter's profile.
Anybody out there with same trouble?
Thanks
Ignacio

OK Ignacio, this is how far I've got (with some help). I have logged in to a Twitter account, and created a 'user tweets' widget, then pasted the widget code into a blank HTML document, and I have uploaded this HTML file to a web site.
The HTML code looks like this (I've blanked out the twitter name with xxxxxx here):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt=true href="https://twitter.com/xxxxxxxxx" data-widget-id="256053399068491776">Tweets by @xxxxxxxx
<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);}}(docu ment,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
</body>
</html>
By pointing to the URL of this HTML file in Safari or Chrome on my iPad, I see exactly what I should: the user's tweets in a single scrolling column with a 'Tweet to...' field at the bottom.
But if I put this URL in a Web Content frame on an InDesign page, DPS refuses to preview it in either the desktop Content Viewer or on my iPad, producing the error message 'The assets for one or more overlays could not be located. Verify the assets used are available on disk, then update the article.'
If I try to upload the article to a folio in the cloud, I get a Content Generation Error with the same error message as above.
As an alternative, I have deleted the Web Content frame and instead called up Object > Insert HTML and put the following code in the dialog (I have blanked out my precise URL here):
<iframe src="http://www.xxxxxxx/xxxxxx.html" width="440" height="840" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
I click OK, wait a few seconds for the frame to draw and place a low-res preview image of the widget, then position it on the InDesign page. With the frame selected, I open the Folio Overlays panel and ensure Autoplay and Allow User Interaction are ticked in the Web Content options.
When I preview this page in the desktop Content Viewer... success! The widget works! Brilliant!
Unfortunately, when I preview this page to my iPad... failure! The widget appears for a split second (probably just the low-res preview from InDesign) before fading out to a blank frame with just the underlined (i.e. linked) words 'Tweets by @xxxxxxxx' at the top. If I touch this text, the Twitter account's full-size home page opens in the in-app browser, which is not what I want either. The same is true if I upload the page to a folio in the cloud and download it to my iPad.
Curiously, if I go back to the InDesign page, select the frame and untick Autoplay in the Web Content options (Folio Overlays panel), previewing the page to my iPad *appears* to work in that it shows the widget. However, it's not the widget I'm seeing but the same flat preview image that's visible on the InDesign page. When I touch it, the widget preview vanishes, to be replaced by a blank frame with the 'Tweets by @xxxxxx' link at the top.
I've tried launching the widget in the DPS in-app browser from a button link on the page, as opposed to opening the widget in a frame on the InDesign page, and I get exactly the same results.
I'm so very close but can't persuade DPS to handle the widget properly. Still experimenting...

Twitter Hashtag Widget is not loading

Hello Muse peoples.
I am big fan of your product and I have been thurally enjoying learning and using it.
One issue I ran into was trying to work with the official Twitter Hashtag Widget.
Some text does appear via the HTML code twitter provides, but other then that the actual widget interface fails to load.
I'm not for sure if this is an issue with the code they are supplying me or if Muse is having difficulty reading this specfic code.
Any help out there?
It was pretty difficult for me to find Twitters widget interface, so here is a link if you are not familar with it.
https://twitter.com/settings/widgets
Any help would be amazing, especially for my clients sake.
THANK YOU!

Hi there,
Have a look here that should most likely resolve the problem for you - https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines-most-frequent-problems-and-their-solution
This problem seems to be frequently encountered as well - https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/10706
I have tested this at my end and the system domain name in the Domains field appears to work well. Refer to the below screenshot for suitable widget settings.
http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/Vinayak/2012-11-06_0541.png
However, it doesn't appear in Preview mode as the widget code is probably checking for the embedding domain.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Twitter Widget problems

I was trying to get the custom twitter widget to work in my publication and I saw post from May that it was an issue. I could not find anything curtrent. Is this still a problem as I can't get my custom twitter feed to work as I want it to?

Yes, it's still an issue. The workaround is to add the widget to a web page and link to that web page.

Blog summary widget problem

I am getting reports that some users cannot load my iWeb '08 site. I have looked into it and not everyone is affected the same. In safari it's fine but in firefox on a mac it only loads a partial page with a js error. On a windows pc it's a crap-shoot as to if it will load or not. I can get my pc to load it with ie 7 but others cannot. Searching the forums and google I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.
It seems that the "Blog Summary Widget" is the error. I have tried everything including File / Publish All
How can I fix this?

Spry validation select widget problem

Dreamweaver CS3
Im using spry validation for my form but the two spry validation select widgets I am using are not working. When I test them I keep getting errors that nothing has been selected when something has in fact been selected. I've used spry validation before with no problems but this is the first time using the spry validation select widget.
My code:
<tr>
            <td valign="top">Page in Question*</td>
            <td valign="top"><span id="spryselect1">
              <label>
              <select name="select1" id="select1">
                <option selected="selected">Home</option>
                <option>About Us</option>
                            </select>
              </label>
              <span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select an item.</span></span></td>
          </tr>

Image gallery widget problems

First of all, I'm pretty new to coding and using CS4 on my Mac. I'm trying to create a simple lightbox gallery. I'm using the Adobe Widget Browser and downloaded Lightbox Gallery Widget. I had to copy/paste all of the coding because for some reason dragging/dropping didn’t work. All of my thumbnails look good, but when I view in Live mode or in a browser, the large image does not appear. All of my images are in the correct folder and linked, but I'm thinking there's a problem with the 'next', 'prev', etc images. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, but I’m at my wits end. I’ve used the Markup Validation Service and it checks out ok. Here is my site:

I’d appreciate any assistance! Thank you!

Having a similar issue - I had taken some iphoto galleries off my mobile me gallery page but they were still linked to pages published in iWeb.
When I realized this I opened iWeb and took the gallery widgets out.
Then went into iPhoto and republished the galleries to mobile me, then back to iWeb and they still showed blank (like the two didn't know about eachother - name of the gallery is still showing in iWeb, but no longer displays photos).
Next try - delete the widget from iWeb page, delete the mobile me published gallery from iPhoto, setup a new (different name and all) published gallery in iPhoto - works, gallery page in mobile me works, back to iWeb and insert widget menu and the old galleries are still listed, no new galleries are showing up in iWeb now - great.
So, trying the tricks of shutting down iPhoto, iWeb, logging out of mobile me account in system preferences as well as via safari on me.com - then log back into every thing and start up iWeb again - still no new iPhoto published mobile me galleries showing in the iWeb insert-widget-mobile me menu.
Any help? Looking for a refresh in iWeb!?

Web Gallery widget problems

I'm having some issues with the mobileme web gallery widgets in iWeb. I first noticed when one of the widgets would not change photos as you roll over it, even though I had multiple photos in the gallery. I unpublished the gallery and re-published using a different name. The next time I started iweb it didn't find any of my mobile me galleries. Almost every other time I get this message when working in iWeb. If it does find my galleries, It doesn't find the new one, but it still lists the old gallery that I have unpublished. I've tried repairing permissions, rebooting. I've seen that a few people had this problem and it went away. Mine hasn't though. Any ideas?

N97 Widgets problem

I've Nokia N97 with V12.0.024
A lot of times the phone stops responding and I've to take out the battery to restart the phone.
After the restart, when it loads the widgets on the main screen, the pics on the Favorite Contacts widget disappears and in the Music Widgets it dosn't show the media buttons or anything else.
Its irritating becuase after sometime most of the widgets stop working and the phone starts to respond very slowly.
So far only solution I've seen to the problem is to format the phone and restore everything again.
The frequency of formatting the phone has gone up to once a week now.
If anyone else is facing the same problem and know a solution pls help.

Translation Widget Problem

Hello everyone. I am a pretty new apple user. Got to say im loving every minute of it. Well, two days ago my computer auto updated and since then for some reason my translation widget (came with comp) does not work. I can not type anything in it and it I cannot choose languages to use. Is there any way to reinstall it?

I was having the same problem with the translator widget and did what you said: put my preferences folder on the desktop and restarted it.
This led me to believe the problem was in the original preferences folder.
It was! I found, at the bottom of the folder, the widgets. I just trashed them, and
dragged the folder from my desktop back to my library replacing the new one that had formed. Restart and you should be good to go.

Terminal and Widget Problems

I am running into an unusual problem with my computer. I used Terminal to allow my widgets to go to the desktop (witch did not work), but when I typed in the command it added the plus and arrow symbol (the same as when you go to widgets on your mac) to my main desktop. How do I fix this?

Fixed this issue by installing XQuartz. After this the DISPLAY environment variable is set to a value.
plb$ env | grep DIS
DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-fMUlob/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
plb$ ssh -Y oracle@grid1vm1
oracle@grid1vm1's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Wed Aug 8 17:58:09 2012 from 10.187.89.245
[oracle@grid1vm1 ~]$ env | grep DIS
DISPLAY=localhost:11.0
[oracle@grid1vm1 ~]$ xclock
XQuartz starts on the Mac and xclock now appears as it should in my Mac display.

Dashboard Widget Problem!! Need Help?

Heres a link to show you what my problem is. Read the description to understand it. I dont know how to get my old dashboard widgets back.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WELmzhZ2hAw

Are all of your widgets missing?
In Finder, open Macintosh HD, then click on Library, then Widgets. Does this folder have widgets?
If so, it's likely your Dashboard preferences have been corrupted. Click on your home folder, followed by Library, then Preferences and trash these files:
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
com.apple.dashboard.plist
Log out & back into your account and see if Dashboard is working properly.

Widget problem in IE. Please Help!

Hello,
I have a page the utilizes the "Phatfusion Multibox" widget found in the extensions through Adobe. After inserting the widget armed with advise from a previous thread I started, everything seemed to be going just fine... that is until I looked at it in IE6 and 7! In IE6, somehow the links show up way at the bottom of the page. In IE7, they don't show at all! Safari, FF, and Chrome display it just fine. There are two errors when I validated it, but even when I went to fix it, the same thing happened. Thank you so much for any advice you can give!
Cheers,
A.B.

For the life of me, I don't know what this 2nd line is in your document: xmlns:ice="http://ns.adobe.com/incontextediting"
Also, I have no scrollbars in Firefox so something is messed up.
Run your site through these two validation services and fix as many code errors as you can:

Menu widgets problem in Leopard

Hi, I have a G5 205 + 3 gigs of ram. I am having an interesting problem the widgets on the right of the screen. Their menu drop down to the middle of the screen. Instead of directly below the icon.
Thanks

Thanks Joseph. Yes I have third party widgets. And I did as you instructed. Thanks to your help I believe I've narrowed the problem down to one widget, RadarInMotion (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/information/radarinmotion.html). I use to have four of these widgets running at one time, because of my outdoor activities I have become a hobbyist meteorologist and needed four different weather maps. But now I've noticed that if I have more than two of these widgets in the Dashboard all the widgets will freeze.
I'll attempt to come up with another solution for monitoring the weather.
thanks for your help.
