I attempted to add a Twitter widget to a block. I get no output when I add that code to a block (appears as just an empty block). I am using a Normal Block.
See example on my site, all the way down at the bottom right, should see a block named "Twitter" :
http://thatlinuxbox.com/blog/index.php?topic=General
The code for the Widget is from
http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets
The Twitter code (what I pasted into my block) looks like this:
<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 4,
interval: 6000,
width: 'auto',
height: 300,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#333333',
color: '#ffffff'
},
tweets: {
background: '#000000',
color: '#ffffff',
links: '#4aed05'
}
},
features: {
scrollbar: false,
loop: false,
live: false,
hashtags: false,
timestamp: true,
avatars: false,
behavior: 'all'
}
}).render().setUser('thatlinuxbox').start();
</script>
The issue appears to be with the curly braces. When I save the block, the curly brace gets converted to a web-friendly representation.
e.g. When I view page source in my browser, the third line in the script section looks like this instead:
Does anyone else have a Twitter Widget working ok inside a geeklog block?
Suggestions for making it show up?

Which Geeklog version are you on? We did some back and forth in the last two releases (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) there. From the 1.7.1 changelog:
So this sounds like you're on 1.7.0, where that change was introduced?
bye, Dirk
- Reverted parts of the changes for bug #0001057: Do _not_ escape curly braces
when displaying a block's content (bug #0001156). If you run into the problem
that words in curly braces inside blocks are interpreted as template
variables, simply add a space after the opening and/or the closing brace

We also have at least one twitter plugin for GL.
