Embedding the Twitter widget into my Joomla 2.5.1 site

[fotografa]

Hello,

I obtained the following code from the Twitter Widgets page to embed into my site in order to display tweets.


<script charset="utf-8" src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 6,
interval: 30000,
width: 'auto',
height: 300,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#000000',
color: '#db1f1f'
},
tweets: {
background: '#474747',
color: '#ffffff',
links: '#db1f1f'
}
},
features: {
scrollbar: false,
loop: false,
live: false,
behavior: 'all'
}
}).render().setUser('USERNAME_HERE').start();
</script>


It says to insert it into an HTML page. I went to the MODULES manager, selected NEW, then selected CUSTOM HTML and inserted it in there. When I went to preview my site, I notice that all the scripting is there and not the Twitter Widget.

HELPPPPP????

If you are using the default WYSIWYG editor in Joomla, it will automatically strip out Javascript, PHP, CSS, etc.

You need to use a module that will either displays custom code or a module designed to display twitter. I suggest the latter. Here is a good one:

Hope that helps,
