Twitter feed in the Cloud

england_k Jul 9, 2015 6:14 AM

Hi Jivers - we are working out the layout for our new cloud instance, we're super excited, one thing that is missing from the News page is the ability to add a HTML tile. So how are folks who've moved to News handling this? We'd like to include a twitter feed (an amalgamation of all the different Pearson handles and key tweeters) I can't see how I could incorporate this. It is going to be a deal breaker for us turning our homepage off altogether in favour of News.

Thanks

I think you can add an html tile. Once we enabled the html tile for our instance, it shows up as an option on the News page. It's one of the options under "Create a new tile."

    It should be in the Add-on library: Installing an Add-on from the Global Registry

      Nailed it! Thank you Dennis! We've been looking forward to using this but didn't recognize the need to add it in this manner.
      
      We thought that perhaps it didn't make it into the last release, as expected.
      
      Thanks again!!!

    Would love for champions/customers and community managers to share their feedback about the HTML Tile (good/bad/other) with TAMs and PM when you can. his was a feature that we pushed to get into the product, and want to make sure that it is properly supporting your needs.

      Thanks for the tip Dennis - i've added it.
      
      Ryan Rutan - looks great i've added twitter but it isn't looking so good for another item, its made the page have a scroll. Do you want to take a look?

        You may need to adjust the height of the Tile to accommodate your snippet. nfortunately slammed at the moment, so don’t really have time to look into it. I’ll ask someone internally though to see if they know if this is a limitation or just a nuance of setting the content height.

        Sorry should have been more clear, if you want to see how we're using it feel free to take a look.

        Hi Kim,
        
        Go back to Twitter https://twitter.com/settings/widgets and edit your widget.
        Follow these steps for the edit your code
        Now replace your "new copied code" into your HTML widget
        Save Properties
        Publish Layout
        It should be about 2 tweets tall (tweets with images will make it a little less). Remember you can always go back and try a different Height. If you do, then just follow these steps all over again and it will display as you set it.
