Note: This functionality is included in BrightAuthor 3.8 and newer. No editing of the autorun is necessary.
You can modify the autorun , used by BrightAuthor, to limit the number of tweets displayed. When you publish a project, it puts an autorun.brs file on the sd card. You can modify it, and save a copy on your computer. You can then add this modified autorun to your brightauthor project, before you publish it. In the example below, I'm exiting the loop that displays feeds after one time through, so only the latest tweet would be displayed.
Search in the autorun.brs file on the sd card for this function:
Sub PopulateRSSDataFeedWidget()
1. Before this line:
for each rssDataFeedItem in m.stateMachine.rssDataFeedItems
Add this: tcount=0
Result would be:
tcount=0
for each rssDataFeedItem in m.stateMachine.rssDataFeedItems
2. Inside of this for loop, which is a few lines later:
for each article in rssDataFeedItem.liveDataFeed.articles
m.stateMachine.widget.PushString(article)
next
Make the following change:
for each article in rssDataFeedItem.liveDataFeed.articles
m.stateMachine.widget.PushString(article)
'custom twitter limit
tcount=tcount+1
if tcount=1 exit for
next
