How to get more tweets to events view?

Hello! I'd like to see more than 10 tweets in the events view, because 10 just isn't enough if you are following a lot of people. I'd also like to see the whole tweets (currently they are cut off with ... if they exceed a certain limit). Is this posible via modifying some QML/config files? Thanks!

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to cut off the last couple of letters of a tweet, they're only 140 characters anyway so they can take up at most 5 lines instead of 4.

I liked them better in Sailfish <1.1.9. They weren't taking up space (because they were on a sub-page) and you could open the tweets in another sub-page where you could also reply and favourite. I don't know why we don't have that anymore. It can't be because of an API change, because the feature is still functional on phones running 1.1.7.

Why not use Tweetian? Just curious here.

Sure, but I can't be bothered to open and close an app every time I want to read some tweets if I don't have to.

Hmm. I am a regular user of twitter too and find native Twitter integration half-baked...so use Tweetian mostly... (Am almost sure nothing much will ever happen on native side)

Here's an answer to one half of the question: I found that the amount of lines allowed per tweet is set in the file /usr/share/lipstick/eventfeed/TwitterFeedItem.qml. The default value is 4. Also, you can decide if you want to have the urls shortened or not :)

Doesn't work. After edit and restart, still only 10 feeds :(.

@richdb "I found that the amount of lines allowed per tweet..."
It works. It allows more lines per tweet, not more tweets.

Oh, I want more tweets. Is that also possible?

richdb ( 2016-01-11 08:40:06 +0300 )edit

Me too. Did you read the question at all? :) If I knew how, I'd add it as an answer and close this.

Euh .. is the question not I want more then 10 tweets? ;-). Ok, ok ... your answer is for the half of the question. But if I remember well I have seen sailfish 1.0 movies on YouTube with more then 10 tweets. Why the heck they remove this option? Mmmm ... still hope that someone else know the solution for this (if it excists at all).
