    @jac As a quick POC I decided to create a Twitter widget on your Categories page - see below for what it looks like

    6f9f9603-6d23-4a9f-bd8b-36d004dee9de-image.png

    It’s not styled as such yet, but is nothing more than a widget taken from Twitter directly here

    This then gives you the code to place into any widget

    <a class="twitter-timeline" data-height="800" data-dnt="true" data-theme="light" href="https://twitter.com/StockportCounty?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by StockportCounty</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    

    The widget code is shown as below

    ad9435df-3b43-4c50-bfee-fba908b8a62d-image.png

    Save the widget, and off you go 🙂

    Clearly, you need to tailor this a little depending on what you actually want to capture, but this is the overall concept.

    Wow, looks phenomenal mate, is there any way to limit the amount of tweets shown at all? And more specifically how can they be displayed on each category?

    Yes, but only by adjusting the height of the widget itself (via Twitter) from what I recall seeing.

    And more specifically how can they be displayed on each category?

    That part I’m not so sure of. I’d say I’m 99% certain it’ll be possible, but I haven’t invested any time yet to determine this.

    Thanks Mark, at least it’s there and can be added on when possible 👍🏻.

    Is this widget something else that can be customised or is it that little more difficult as it’s a twitter feed?

    @jac That depends on what you are looking for in terms of customisation. If you are thinking about colours for example, then no.

    @phenomlab thanks for the response mate.

    That was my question yes mate, although I don’t know of any other way it could be customised.

    As I’ve mentioned previously I’m just looking to change little bits here and there mate.

    I was looking for a next / last fixture to add into a widget but the last time I tried it the data massively didn’t fit the widget area.

    @jac for example league table widget code.

    <div id="fs-standings"></div> 
    <script> (function (w,d,s,o,f,js,fjs) { w['fsStandingsEmbed']=o;w[o] = w[o] || function () { (w[o].q = w[o].q || []).push(arguments) }; js = d.createElement(s), fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; js.id = o; js.src = f; js.async = 1; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(window, document, 'script', 'mw', 'https://cdn.footystats.org/embeds/standings.js')); mw('params', { leagueID: 6088 }); 
    </script>

    @jac Very easily done. You just use the HTML widgets and place them where you want 🙂

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
