Are you scheduling posts? havuz on "[Plugin: Tweetable] Autotweet delay" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/330222#post-1276213 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:52:28 +0000 havuz 1276213@http://wordpress.org/support/ The autotweet function works but it only tweets hours later. The time lag is variable. Is there any way to get Tweetable to instantly tweet on a new post? <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetable/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetable/</a> redwallhp on "[plugin: tweetable] Auto-tweets won't work" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301020#post-1176753 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:55:57 +0000 redwallhp 1176753@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote>I recently installed Tweetable, version 1.1.4, which is tested through WP 2.8.1.</blockquote> Actually, it's tested up the latest release so far. Updating the tested field just slipped my mind. Thanks for reminding me... The bit you're looking for is in tweetable.php, around line 251. The function name is <code>tweetable_publish_tweet()</code>. It's hooked at line 35 with <code>add_action('publish_post', 'tweetable_publish_tweet', 100);</code> lawschooltransparency on "[plugin: tweetable] Auto-tweets won't work" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301020#post-1176025 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:30:47 +0000 lawschooltransparency 1176025@http://wordpress.org/support/ I recently installed Tweetable, version 1.1.4, which is tested through WP 2.8.1. Everything went off without a hitch, except that it will not post new tweets when I create a new blog post. I ran over the code for a little bit and couldn't figure out where/how the auto-tweets were binding to new posts. Granted, I'm a novice WP user, so I may just be missing a concept or two that precludes me from figuring this out on my own. In any case, I'm a part-time PHP developer, so can understand (at least) most of whatever response I got. Thanks in advance! Edit: I searched each file for "update_status" - to no avail - since it was referenced in one of the support posts. This makes me wonder if I'm just missing a file altogether. For what it's worth, I added the plugin through WP. joefish on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-696722 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:41:07 +0000 joefish 696722@http://wordpress.org/support/ You're very welcome. :) thepete on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-696548 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:43:32 +0000 thepete 696548@http://wordpress.org/support/ Ahhh, very helpful advice. Thank you! That's not a major sacrifice to make (filling in the post slug field) or perhaps will another plugin that would fill the slug automatically would do the trick? I think I remember one from a couple years back. Either way, thanks again for the advice! joefish on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-692029 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:12:55 +0000 joefish 692029@http://wordpress.org/support/ Submission to Twitter is handled through the action hook <code>publish_post</code>, which calls my function <code>auto_tweet_submit</code>. You're correct that <code>post_name</code> is the post slug, but unless you've filled in the Post Slug field in the Write Post form, <code>post_name</code> is a null value when <code>auto_tweet_submit</code> is called. You may have better luck trying to generate a cruft-based URL, like <a href="http://blogaddress.com/?p=1234" rel="nofollow">http://blogaddress.com/?p=1234</a> (where 1234 is the ID of the post). That URL will redirect to whatever is the "real" permalink according to your settings. You can experiment with dumping the values of $post_id and/or $_POST to see how the post ID might be stored in either of those two variables. thepete on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-691818 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:21:36 +0000 thepete 691818@http://wordpress.org/support/ Well, I can't seem to work out how to call the permalink or even the slug. I thought the slug was "post_name" but swapping out "post_content" for it causing the plugin to do nothing. Any ideas what the correct tag would be? thepete on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-691778 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:30:13 +0000 thepete 691778@http://wordpress.org/support/ Cool, thanks! I don't know if Twitter Tools is troublesome for anyone else. My particular install of WP often presents challenges regarding commonly used plugins. Not sure if it's me or my server, but Twitter Tools just ain't working for me and it's too complicated for my feeble coding skills to try to tweak. However, your plugin does just one thing and does it really well. How difficult might it be to just swap out where your code calls the post content for the title and post permalink? I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck--I may still be in over my head :) joefish on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-691300 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:27:42 +0000 joefish 691300@http://wordpress.org/support/ Ah. I didn't know that feature of Twitter Tools was troublesome for some people. Auto Tweet is licensed under the GPL, so you're very welcome to tweak it to your heart's delight, and release your own version as well. I believe Alex's Twitter Tools is also GPL (but you'll want to double check on that), so you can use his code as a guide for how to add the function you want to Auto Tweet. Or add Auto Tweet's functionality to Twitter Tools, for that matter. thepete on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-690531 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:36:32 +0000 thepete 690531@http://wordpress.org/support/ I appreciate your interest in creating a plugin just for that purpose, but sadly Twitter Tools doesn't seem to work properly on WP 2.3.2--at least it doesn't on my install of 2.3.2. Your plugin works *perfectly*. Also, even before When I was on WP 2, Twitter Tools would post to Twitter even when I would edit a post, with no way to tell it not to (unlike your plugin). Now, under 2.3.2, not only does it Tweet with every post edit, it pulls from Twitter my latest Tweets and miscategorizes them and assigns them to the wrong author. I've tried posting about this to Alex King's website, but he hasn't replied. Perhaps I'll try tweaking your plugin myself, and see how far I can get with making a new plugin that simply cross-posts the subject title and URL. I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it and then, if you don't mind, perhaps I can release it on my own with the proper credit to you, of course. joefish on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-690193 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 00:07:58 +0000 joefish 690193@http://wordpress.org/support/ I don't have any plans to add a feature like that. I wrote Auto Tweet mostly to satisfy my own needs. I wanted a plugin that would cross-post my short-form blog posts to Twitter. I couldn't find anything that would do that, so I wrote Auto Tweet. The exact behavior you're looking for can be found in other plugins, like Alex King's <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/">Twitter Tools</a>. thepete on "Auto Tweet just post title and link to post?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155948#post-690140 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:53:41 +0000 thepete 690140@http://wordpress.org/support/ I'm wondering if there is a simple way to change this plug in so that it Tweets the post title and a URL to the post, as opposed to the post content and that's it. Or perhaps a check box somewhere that will tell the plugin to post only the post title and a URL instead of the content. This would give users a choice. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-tweet/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-tweet/</a> joefish on "Always checked?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/147777#post-666887 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 15:30:03 +0000 joefish 666887@http://wordpress.org/support/ The current version of the plugin does not have a mechanism for that, but you can modify that simply enough. In version 2.0, line 85 is: <code>echo ' <input type="checkbox" name="auto-tweet-checkbox" id="auto-tweet-checkbox" onclick="if (this.checked) { document.getElementById(\'counter\').style.display=\'inline\'; } else { document.getElementById(\'counter\').style.display=\'none\'; }" />' . "\n";</code> Change that to: <code>echo ' <input type="checkbox" name="auto-tweet-checkbox" id="auto-tweet-checkbox" onclick="if (this.checked) { document.getElementById(\'counter\').style.display=\'inline\'; } else { document.getElementById(\'counter\').style.display=\'none\'; }" checked="checked" />' . "\n";</code> Note that the only change is the addition of <code>checked="checked"</code> to the end of the input tag. (Mind the extra space as well.)

Thanks.
