Embedding Twitter into a Blog Post

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, i didn't have email notificatiosn turned on. This is a copy of the code:

Embed code from Twitter:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en-gb"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Look out for ISISMag Issue 4 Coming Soon <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/naturalhair?src=hash">#naturalhair</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/beauty?src=hash">#beauty</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/isismag?src=hash">#isismag</a> <a href="https://t.co/JeiMzRpIk9">pic.twitter.com/JeiMzRpIk9</a></p>&mdash; ISIS Mag (@ISISMag) <a href="https://twitter.com/ISISMag/status/597314797152141312">May 10, 2015</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I am pasting this into my blog post textarea through the blogging app.

and would you like the code in my template or the name of it? Sorry, i'm a bit unsure of what you're asking me for.

Hello Rachel,

Here's my template code from post.html:

<div class="hentry">
    <h1><a href="<perch:blog id="postURL" />" rel="bookmark" class="entry-title"><perch:blog id="postTitle" type="text" required="true" size="xl" /></a></h1>
    <p class="entry-published date"><perch:blog id="postDateTime" format="%d %B %Y" /> 
        <perch:if exists="authorGivenName">by <perch:blog id="authorGivenName" /> <perch:blog id="authorFamilyName" /></perch:if>
    </p>
    <perch:if exists="image">
        <div><img src="<perch:blog id="image" type="image" width="320" height="240" crop="true" label="Image" />" alt="<perch:blog id="postTitle" />" /></div>
    </perch:if>
    <div class="description entry-content">
        <perch:blog id="postDescHTML" type="textarea" encode="false" editor="markitup" textile="true" size="xxl" required="true" />
    </div>
</div>

<perch:blog id="excerpt" type="textarea" label="Excerpt" textile="true" order="1" suppress="true" size="s" />
<perch:blog id="image" type="image" width="50" height="50" crop="true" suppress="true" />
<perch:blog id="image" type="image" width="320" height="240" crop="true" suppress="true" />

when i paste the code in it renders as a blockquote but doesn't pull in the rest of the tweet for example, the image, the tweet text, twitter's styles etc.

Oh, is that still the case if I paste it into the Source Code area provided?

Ah, a frequent problem I've had with adding "html=true" is that i'd like to be able to add spaces between lines in my blog post via the editor and when i add the above it doesn't work. Is there some sort of perfect template line that will enable me to have things like the Twitter plugins to work but to be able to add spaces between my copy as and when?

Would the below be correct?

<perch:blog id="postDescHTML" type="textarea" html="true" encode="false" editor="markitup" textile="true" size="xxl" required="true" />

Yes, sorry empty spaces; the equivalent of a html <br> tag.

Ahhh, brilliant - thank you very much. So if i,

1. Install CKEditor
2. Set textile as true
3. Updated my blog app (since updating perch and not the blog app i can't post blogs)

I should be able to successfully embed tweets into my blog posts?

Ahh, thank you very much, i'll try this and see how i get on. In the meantime I'll mark this as a solution.
