"InstantPro: 'footer' not been updated."

The other week I went to edit my InstantPro 'footer'.

In the past I've hacked this to display my latest Tweets. I need to update a URL to match a Twitter change to get it working again.

I found when I changed and saved my update my footer hasn't picked it up?

It's a slightly messy update as I'm using some JavaScript so can take a few attempts to get working with InstantPro. But I can't see why the footer changes aren't becoming live?

Can anyone else replicate this problem with footer edits?
I haven't tried again since I saw this problem about 3 weeks ago.

Thanks Eccles.
Leave it with me, I'll try to reposition my AdSense when I get a moment.

Can't wait for the JS Plugin which should makes things simpler ;¬)

Thanks for all your help.

I remember having to hack things to get things working when I did it a few years back ;¬)

I see all my footer 'boiler plate' text has disappeared now - can you pull that back?
Google's cache still has a copy if you haven't.

Also I was only displaying my latest tweet.

Let me know if/when you're finished making changes and I'll get back to it when I've time. Thanks for the help though :¬)

That was me! You've been naughty:P that old code was also in the Adsense box! That gets loaded right at the end of the page so was overriding everything.
The correct Twitter code to put in the Footer HTML is:


<div id="twitter_div">
<script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="twitter_update_list"></div>
<script src="http://api.twitter.com/1 /statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=your twitter screen name&include_rts=true&count=4 &callback=twitterCallback2" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>

without the spaces in the JS URL.

Thanks chaps.

I think I know what I need to correct for Twitter's changes as I did it for some non-InstantPro sites a while back.

My problem seems to be that when I try editing and saving my footer the changes aren't being made live.

i.e. At the moment on the live site I rattle on about "website build with InstantPro" and my privacy statement etc. in the footer, but when I'm editing the footer via MyFreeola I can't see this text in either normal or HTML view?

EDIT: Was that me or you??? I think it was you :¬)
I just cancelled out of the editor and refreshed the page and it's working?

The issue with your Twitter code was that you were missing the HTML for the Javascript to write in to.
I've added <div id="twitter_div">
<ul id="twitter_update_list">
<li>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</div> for you.
However there is still a problem with http:// pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js and one of the twitter js files.

I've had a little look - when I load your site, the console in firebug shows a 404 error for the 'twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline...' url that you've inserted in to the footer.

That's certainly going to be causing some problems, whether it's the main issue or not i don't know.
