Hello all.  We used to run tweets through Inception and Xpression on one of our shows.  Since then we halted running the Tweets and also upgraded to Xpression 9.0 (don't know if that has anything to do with this or not).  We are looking to run Tweets the way we used to, but when I linked everything up the way we had it before, it doesn't work (or I am missing a step).  

I set up the template for the Tweet body of text to be hooked up to data (RSS Feed).  In the Sequencer, I can manually go into the data source and change the Tweets, but can't set it up so we can add them to our playlist so it will populate automatically.  I have also read other answers given on this subject but still can't get it to work.

Here is my data:

and here is my Scene info

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

Are you suggesting that when you add a tweet on the Inception side (I'm assuming Inception Social?) it automatically adds a new take item into your sequencer (I'm assuming you are in regular Flex?) If that's a thing, I'd love to know how that's possible!

That said though, looking at your datalinq mapping and your key, you're using a datalinq key called TWEET, but it's not being utilized within your text mapping. So the column would be something like:

channel\item<%TWEET%>\description\#CDATA 

This way you could change your tweet dlinq key as needed in the sequencer. Otherwise you could just use %relid% as needed.

Maybe this helps?

Thank you Martin.  I did have this set up incorrectly.  I re-checked my text mapping and made the necessary change.  Thank you for your help.  Sometimes it's the simple details that get overlooked.

Of course, happy to help.

Several years ago the great Andrew Sampson had a tutorial with a nice little tip in it when it came to setting up datalinq items. The tip was that when it comes to something that's going to be using a mullti-item list, always select the second item in your dataset that way it automatically adds the <2> to it, which you can then change to a datalinq key.
