While adding a twitter timeline to your meeting microsite is not a built in feature in MatrixMaxx, it is pretty easy using a Twitter Widget and the the following steps.
- Go to your Twitter account settings page.
- Click the ‘Widget’ menu.
- Click the ‘Create New’ button.
- You will automatically land on the page to create a ‘User Timeline’ widget, which is what we want to create.
- Fill in the username you want a timeline for and any other options you want to change. You can see a preview of your timeline to the right.
- Once you are done, click ‘Create Widget’.
- A text box will appear under the preview with the code for your widget. Copy this code.
- Go to the page to edit your Microsite in MatrixMaxx. Browse to the area where you can enter content for the page where you want the timeline to appear.
- If you haven’t already, next to the ‘Add Content’ label, choose to add HTML text.
- Once the text box appears where you can add your content, click the ‘Source’ button. This should be the first button above the text box. This will switch you to the HTML view of your content.
- Find the place in your content you want the timeline to appear and paste the code you copied for the Twitter widget.
- Save your changes
Note: you will not see the timeline appear in the content box when you switch back out of source mode, you will only see a link, but the timeline will be there when you preview your microsite.
