Plugin: Tweet This

Hmm, I wonder if that would be why I am getting a blank page when I try to use the plugin. No error message, though. Just a blank page.

You may have error reporting set to not display. You might could try adding this to the plugin file:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

Then run it.

Or maybe create a blank php file with something like this:

<?php
if ( ! cul_init())
{
echo 'CURL NOT INSTALLED';
}

Yep, it was the bit.ly issue for me too. Working like a charm now. 😊

Thanks for the plugin!

Just installed it on http://QN5.com for our blog posts, songs, videos, etc. I’ll try to adding the functionality to our forum threads later.

Maybe it’s just me, but I had to tweak the _convert_chars() function to return a urlencode() version of the text. All our ampersands and hashes were mucking with the link.

Also, changing the API url from “bit.ly” to “j.mp” (which is owned by bit.ly) worked. Gotta save them characters.

hello eric, where can I donwload the twitter plugin and where can I see how can I setup? is it possible to be exacly the twittmemo button? the small version??

thanks, allan

Hi Allan,

I just replied through pm. 😊

You can download it from this page: http://github.com/mdesign/shortn-tweet.ee_addon

Just click the download image.

That page also includes instructions on how to use it.

I’ve done it but I didn’t understand what to do to work this out can u explain me please regards, allan

It will probably be easier to help if you can post the code you are using.

I was unable to get the url to parse at all, either with bit.ly or is.gd

{exp:shortn_tweet title="{pet-name}" url="{url_title_path=adopt/view}" short_url="bit.ly"}
<a href="http://{twt:twitter_url}{twt:title}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tweet {pet-name} to Twitter</a>
{/exp:shortn_tweet}

Everything shows but the url when you end up at twitter.com. Any ideas?

I just forked this to work with EE 2.0 PB http://github.com/ericbarnes/shortn-tweet.ee_addon

great plugin. What if you wanted to add a topic tag, like #twittertopic . So the final output will be something like:

Reading: Post Title - Shortened title #twittertopic

here is my current code:

{exp:shortn_tweet title="{title}" url="{title_permalink=blog/article}" short_url="bit.ly"}
<a href="http://{twt:twitter_url}Reading:">Tweet This</a>                            {/exp:shortn_tweet}

I think you could use:

{exp:shortn_tweet title="{title}" url="{title_permalink=blog/article}" short_url="bit.ly"}
<a href="http://{twt:twitter_url}Reading:">Tweet This</a>                            {/exp:shortn_tweet}

Although I didn’t test that. Just going from memory. 😊

Eric:

not working. everything works fine except that string - it doesn’t show up.

Hi,

For some reason I cant make it work.

I keep getting this error:

Invalid Unicode value in one or more parameters

Any ideas?
