Hi, This is great thank you! I was wondering if there were a way to move the tweet text up next to the avatar, but below the username & time? Thanks again for this!

Thanks Martin – just brilliant, any chance of a matching version that reads RSS feeds?

Hey everbody. Quick question; why doesn’t this work on newer jQuery libraries, like 1.6.2?

hi, i have question about this:

- can I modify this ticker only for 1 twitter ID just like twitter profile?

- can I make more than 1 ticker windows for each twitter ID that I want to show in my web with CSS? for example, 4 to 12 tickers (each with 1 profile to show)

- can I use wordpress modified theme to put all the ticker windows?

thanks

I’m a newbie and it’s probably a stupid question, but after installing this jQuery Ticker (which is by the way the most beautiful I’ve found on the net: kudos!) in unmodified form, by uploading the “demo.zip” it in my WordPress 3.2.1 website, I got the message that the plugin does not work because it has no legitimate “header”…
The plugin is invisible and cannot be activated.

What do I need to do?

Hope somebody can help! I really searched the internet for instruction on other ways to install this plugin, but to no avail…

Thanks in advance…

I made an improvement so you can have accounts and hash tags.

here it is, hope you find it useful

$(document).ready(function(){

$(‘#twitter-ticker’).slideDown(‘slow’);

for(var i=0;i {
if(i!=0) buildString+='+OR+';

// only add ‘from:’ if it does not begin with %23 – # hash
if (tweetUsers[i].indexOf(‘%23′) != 0) buildString+=’from:’;

buildString+=tweetUsers[i];
}

var fileref = document.createElement(‘script’);

fileref.setAttribute(“type”,”text/javascript”);
fileref.setAttribute(“src”, “http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=”+buildString+”&callback=TweetTick&rpp=50″);

document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(fileref);

});

I was just about to ask about hashtags and mentions. It’s cool that you support your tutorials.

Thanks
