62 Resolved! Issues with the Twitter Updates Gadget (and others)
September 23, 2009 /

This issue should now be resolved. I have checked the Twitter Updates gadget (plus others) on various sites, and am now assured everything should be back to normal.

I've been made aware of the issues many Blogger users are experiencing with the Twitter Updates gadget. At present, this is showing "tweets" from the user @undefined and ignores user preferences for the number of tweets to be displayed.

The same issue affects some of my other gadgets too: most notably, the Flickr, Picasa, TwitPic and Juitter gadgets.

As far as I can tell right now, this issue stems from a sudden, random error affecting any gadgets utilizing User Preferences. These issues do not seem to be affecting every blog in which such gadgets are installed.

The Blogger Team are aware of the issue and are investigating now. I'm also testing various changes to user preferences for my gadgets to see if a different solution to registering user preferences could resolve the issue for my gadgets.


I anyone is still receiving errors when using their Twitter Updates gadget (particularly if this displays tweets from @undefined's stream) please do let me know in the comments or send me an email.

TweetMeMe gives me fits on my Blogger blog. It doesn't show the tweets and retweets accurately. It shows zero no matter how many there are.

Hi Amanda, I'm using this g8t widget of yours. But when i entered my username 'hmar' in the search area, i'm getting tweets from other twitters wo posted the word 'hmar'. Can we have the same widget only for username...? with the same instant/auto update.

I'm having issues with this bug again. Anyway to fix it?

7 December 2009 02:14 Beth Lee said...

I'm unable to control the number of tweets to be displayed on my Blogger blog's Twitter badge. Is this the bug you mention? I've set the gadget to display 1 tweet, but it displays them all.

Unfortunately, this is again a problem for some. Tweets from a different user is fed into my Twitter gadget... weird!

my Flickr photostream doesn't display any photos, it's just the heading in the sidebar with a void under the title.

i'm glad i'm not the only one struggling with this. i was about to blame twitter. great post and great feedabck folks

28 December 2009 21:48 Editor said...

The link in the Blogger widget ONLY opens in the tiny window of the gadget -- not a new window. That renders it totally worthless for following links, unless you right click on the link and open it in a New Window. I can't believe nobody has noticed this.

29 December 2009 07:19 Grgg said...

I have no idea if this is related at all, but I'm not sure where to post it...

Your site looks great and very helpful for someone starting out in the blogging world like me, but every time I come, or change pages here I get a password popup from "Twitter API" that I have to click away every time. VERY distracting...

Hi,
I just added your gadget to my blog and it's showing undefineds tweets.

In Firebug I saw, that a call to http://e2a66cn9997j2srbkidin2psq2dusjaa.friendconnect.gmodules.com/gadgets/deps.js returns with a 404.

Blog is http://gloegg.blogspot.com
Twitter is http://twitter.com/gloegg

I am still getting @undefined on my blog www.thekulmanadventures.blogspot.com after months of trying to get help. When are you REALLY going to fix this for ME.

13 January 2010 20:02 Lance and Coralee Kulman said...

It is bad enough you are not answering my e-mails and tweets, but to not even allow my plea for help comment tells me you do not care. Amanda where are you. Tomorrow I am going to take the twitter gadget off my blog since I cannot get my own tweets...only @undefined and I am not going to be very complimentary about your customer service.

Hi there, I'm trying to use your twitter app but it's showing links in white which is a little useless as my page background is white. I've tried over riding this but unfortunately it seems to be hard coded. Is there any way to make links in the twitter feed white?

7 March 2010 22:47 NetPharmacy said...

"It is bad enough you are not answering my e-mails and tweets, but to not even allow my plea for help comment tells me you do not care."

That's a bit harsh, she's probably really busy and this gadget is free....I would understand if you paid for it but I'm sure that's not the case. This site has so much content it's really useful.

Although I would like to know how to change my twitter gadget links from white to a colour of my own choosing..when you have time...:)
