Twitter widget obsolete

[nukeador]

Twitter widget code is not obsolete, we need to use the new code.

I tried using the new code:

{% load i18n %}
<a class="twitter-timeline" width="600" height="500" data-chrome="nofooter transparent" data-link-color="#264373" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23{{ event.twitterTag }}">{{ event.name }}</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
</script>

But it seems the new API doesn't allow dynamic widgets, you have to create them on twitter site and then get a unique data-widget-id

WTF?

So we cannot add the hashtag of the event??, Reps portal has that integrated, so it should be a nice feature to have in the events page.

I can't find where the reps events show tweets.

We can, however, just link to the twitter hashtag page

My mistake, only shows flickr photos with the hashtag, and then a "share" button.
I would suggest the "share" option instead of the hashtag page.

We already have a "Tweet" button at the top of each event.
