    Hello there,

    First off my english isn't perfect or even good, so I hope, I'am able to ask the question, so that everybody does understand it.

    I tried to use the getFeed snippet to get my twitter feed on to my homepage, it did work, but the problem is, it wont update.
    The rss feed does get the new tweet, but the snippet doesn't update the new tweet into the page. I tried it through reload and clear the cache, but the tweet wont show up.
    It is alway the same array of tweets. I can show all tweets or just a few, but I wont get the new tweets.

    So I do hope somebody can help me, if you have further questions please ask.

    Greetings

      Hi there,

      Twitter has deprecated RSS as a method for getting Twitter feeds, you're best to use their new API and JSON formatted feeds.

      I wrote a MODX extra which will help you with the hard work: http://modx.com/extras/package/jsonderulo23

      It uses the new API, so you will need to set an app up on http://dev.twitter.com to make it work, but besides that it is very straight forward. Full documentation available on my GitHub page:

      Hope this helps you! smiley
