Adding Twitter Badge issue

Trying to post a Twitter Badge on my http://bikefitness.net site

I try to add this code to center widget:

<div id=”twitter_div”>

<h2 class=”sidebar-title” style=”display:none;”>Twitter Updates</h2>

<ul id=”twitter_update_list”>

follow me on Twitter

</div>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js”></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/bikefitness.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=5″></script>

But it strips out everything after the </div> tag

Anyone had success doing this?

widgets don’t like <scripts>

that’s a security issue:

you should manually insert the script into the sidebar, or create a custom sidebar with your script in it.

The MU build is still confusing to me because it doesn’t have the editor function in the dashboard like the regular wp install… ALl I ave in MU under appearance is just widgets and themes…

I did a quick look in the raw files… all I see is sidebar.php

But can’t find left/center/right sidebar code to edit like ij standard wp install under editor.

Where do I go to add the twitter code so it appears in the center column?

you would edit your bp bp-themes/ or theme/buddypress-home/

depending on where you want it.

you could also add the “tweet” stuff directly to the functions.php file

/themes/buddypress-home/home.php

(the above is the home page, which calls the left,center,right sidebars)

you could manually insert your code there.

there’s a few different way to do that…. some would say creating a plugin/function/bp-custom code is the best
