Twitter (Last 5 entries)

Here is some script I customised to show the last 5 Twitter entries. It is based on Jon Aquino's code, but made to display 5 items. I loaded it into Typepad Notes (which enables HTML code).

The result looks like this:

...I have uploaded some code for Twitter at http://my.agoge.net 10 mins ago
..."Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It's too high! Come to the edge! And they came, and he pushed...... and they flew." 2 days ago

The code is:

<script type="text/javascript">

            function twitterCallback(obj) {

                        var id = obj[0].user.id;

                        var html = '';

                           html += '...' + obj[0].text + '<span style="font-size: 0.6em;"> (' + obj[0].relative_created_at + ')</span></br>';

                           html += '...' + obj[1].text + '<span style="font-size: 0.6em;"> (' + obj[1].relative_created_at + ')</span></br>';

                           html += '...' + obj[2].text + '<span style="font-size: 0.6em;"> (' + obj[2].relative_created_at + ')</span></br>';

                           html += '...' + obj[3].text + '<span style="font-size: 0.6em;"> (' + obj[3].relative_created_at + ')</span></br>';

                           html += '...' + obj[4].text + '<span style="font-size: 0.6em;"> (' + obj[4].relative_created_at + ')</span></br>';

                        document.getElementById('my_twitter_status').innerHTML = html;

            }

            

</script>

<span id="my_twitter_status"></span> <span id="my_twitter_status_time"></span>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.twitter.com/t/status/user_timeline/1368091?callback=twitterCallback&count=5"></script>

I put your code at: www.wallawallawinenews.com/twittertest.htm but it only displayed a blank page with error. I changed your line of code:
"http://www.twitter.com/t/status/user_timeline/wwwinenews?callback=twitterCallback&count=5", replaced "/t/status/" with "/statuses/" and now the tweets display fine except the time is shown as "(undefined)".

How do I fix this latest issue?

Thanks,

Michael

I had a quick play with it but can't get it to work sorry.

I orginally got the code from http://jonaquino.blogspot.com/2006/12/twitter-increasing-number-of-twitters.html

and updated it. You could try that. I havent been using the code for a year or so, so twitter may have changed some of there fields??

Sorry could be of more help
