Will it provide Ajax to auto refresh the webpart without have to refresh the entire page?

Hi there,

In case anyone's interested, my client wanted the Twitter feed to return all Tweets (not just theirs). You can do so by changing this line (ShowTweets?.cs, line 150):

TwitterStatusCollection? userTimeline = TwitterTimeline?.UserTimeline?(tokens, options);

to this:

TwitterStatusCollection? userTimeline = TwitterTimeline?.HomeTimeline?(tokens, options);

Hi,

I'm attempting to deploy this twitter solution to my sharepoint 2010 farm but on the last deployment steps within the command prompt I receive: "Failed to find the XML file at location '14\Template\Features\BrickRed?.WebParts?. Facebook.Wall\feature.xml'"?

Same problem as "pearl..", nothing showing up under "Show Feed". Can it be that Twitter have done some modifications that is not mentioned in the instructions above?

Hi, I have managed to install the solution and I have it activated on my intranet. I have also create the access tokens from Twitter, but whenever I attempt to add the ShowTweets? webpart I receive the error page and have to go into the Maintenance Page to remove the web part. Does anyone know when this might be occurring? Thanks.
