Known Problems¶
- Usage of the extension is limited to one Plugin per page. This is due to the underlying JavaScript libraries. This is not a bug. It's a feature.
- This extension relies on the Twitter Search API and is thus limited by the features provided by the Twitter API. In other words this means that this extension will just display the results of a query submitted to the Twitter Search API. As of version 1.2.0. of this extension, twitter accounts, hashtags and the number of tweets are queried from the Twitter Search API. If you would like to implement different features provided by the Twitter Search API, see the Twitter Search API Website for more details or contact the author of the extension.
- The Twitter Search API limits requests to 140 characters. This is sufficient for approximately 7 Twitter user names or hashtags.
TODOs¶
- Make inclusion of static JavaScript resources configurable via TypoScript.
- Make usage of jScrollPane optional.
