Changing Title from Twiiter to Blog Post

    Hi,

    I’m using this plugin to display my twitter feed as blog posts. That works great and I have no problems with it. My issue is that when the tweet is imported via RSS to the site it doubles up. What I mean by that is the heading of the article(Blog post) is the same as its content. Here is an image of the issue .

    We use twitter for 1 purpose and that is for the Message of the day. So all I want to do is change it so that when the plugin imports the feed, instead of simply recopying the tweet for its heading its uses a static title called “MOTD”.

    Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you for your time and this kick ass plugin.

    Hello
    Can you give me your twitter feed RSS that you are using so I can see for myself what is going on.
    Thanks

    ok…the problem is that twitter makes the title the same as the content in the RSS feed…the only way to make this not happen with my plugin is to not have the content and keep the title.

    This is easy to do if that’s what you are using the plugin for. Just go into the template and comment out the content line, like this:

    $readable .= showexcerpt($items[“mydesc”],$descNum,$openWindow,$stripAll,$items[“mylink”],$adjustImageSize,$float,$noFollow,$items[“myimage”]);

    change to this:

    // $readable .= showexcerpt($items[“mydesc”],$descNum,$openWindow,$stripAll,$items[“mylink”],$adjustImageSize,$float,$noFollow,$items[“myimage”]);

    If you don’t know how to do this, let me know (and also let me know what template you are using.)

    Just commented out the above line and still showing both the title & content.

    I tried on two of the templates , the “Regular” & ” Default” both don’t work. Also cleared my browser cache to make sure.
