Hi Paolo ,

Thank you. I tried the javascript approach which wont work. Because the standard twitter stream is based on Ajaxcall back. So the javascript can only execute once on document ready. After that , the twitter stream will back to Normal. The clientside approach, i guess you are saying "Endpoint" solution. I guess it will be nice to have an example how to these kind integration, because i think many clients are looking for fetch the information from facebook, linkedin and twitter.

Any helps will appreciate . Thank you.

Cheers,
Qing

Hi qinglau 

 

If you want to fetch information from external third parties, and these are providing an API, then endpoints are definitely a good fit. See here and the surveyGizmo integration example to get an idea. Going back to your problem, have you considered listening for ajax updates as well instead of only running your code at page load?

 

Hope this helps,

      Hi qinglau 

       

      Have a look at this very basic example - I hope this demonstrates what I was suggesting.

       

      Kind Regards,
