Insert HTML Code on Popup Layer?

**harryd** · 26 October 2018, 12:23 AM

Does anyone know if you can insert HTML code on a popup layer? I am trying to display my Twitter feed via a popup layer. However, when I paste the placeholder with the Twitter HTML code on the layer, I don't see the feed when I display that layer.

I would try an iframe. Put the iframe on the pop up layer and link to the layer. (Import the Embed a Website Widget option in the Content Catalog > Print and Web Components)

harryd, the short answer is yes.

The longer one needs your code uploaded.

Harry - I wonder if the problem is your tweets are protected and only some people can follow. I just tried the code to my Twitter feed using the Embed widget and it shows the feed is protected.

Acorn - The code provided by Twitter looks like this

<a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/yourtwittername?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by your twitter name</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

harryd is after is (1) a view of his Tweets and (2) it to be on a pop-up layer.

IFRAMEs are not liked by Twitter but are possible. The right approach is shown here: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...795#post591795.
I have this working on a layer that is opened by a button link.

I'm going to remove my link. I'll leave the code with a generic name.

NEVERMIND!

Using the Placeholder to display a Twitter feed works fine. It was me that wasn't working. One of these days I'll figure out how to really use this program.
