Hi,

I've just installed and configured the Twitter module. I have a block which displays my recent tweets, but I'm not able to display this block on the frontpage of my site.
Settings are: show this block for anonymous/authenticated users on every page.

Any idea's why this block doesn't show up on my frontpage?

+1..

I just tried out a few things, turns out if you create a page and put that URL (node/node_id) under show this block on the listed pages it shows up perfectly on that page. In fact just try any other URL other than .

Any specific reason why this doesn't show up on front page ?

Please help.

Thanks,
Swarad

Took a look at the 'tweets' view this module creates by default. It seems like it is taking uid in the argument. The defdault argument for uid is configured to take the uid from URL or take the node author's uid. So may be on pages where the above case doesn't provide the uid the block wont show.

I changed that to "display all values" if argument is not present, as I want only administer's tweets to be shown. Now the block shows up on the front page as it should.

Cheers,
Swarad

I don't suppose this is the issue with line 215 of the twitter.module.

For me, (and I have patch mine) it reads

$key = $row->twitter_uid;

which should be

$key = $twitter_uid;

Sorry if this is not this issue

Comment #3 is correct. It's just a matter of changing the view settings. The reason the block is showing up on other (node) pages is probably that the node is authored by the user whose Twitter account contains the tweets you want.
