• We were trying to build an add-on plugin the past coupled of days. I want to be able to create blog posts from tweets with only a specific hash tag. I’m not a programmer myself so I enlisted the help of some friends. Both said that there is something that isn’t working. From one email conversation:

    There seems to be a problem with the “aktt_do_tweet_post” filter. The author’s examples’ arguments don’t match with what I’m seeing in the twitter-tools.php itself.

    Here is one simple example (without adding fields to the admin panel, etc.) that just didn’t work.

    // ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
    
    function dont_post_tweet($tweet, $post) {
        if (!strpos($tweet->tw_text, '#blog')) {
            // will not tweet
            return false;
        }
        else {
            // must return the $tweet to send it
            return $tweet;
        }
    }
    add_filter('aktt_do_blog_post_tweet', 'dont_post_tweet', 10, 2)
    
    ?>

    Any help would be appreciated. I don’t want to modify the original plugin but as proof of concept, one guy added

    if (!strpos($tweet->tw_text, '#postme')) {
    			return;
    		}

    at line 537 in twitter-tools.php

    Thanks! It’s a great plugin otherwise and I’ve been using it for the last year or so.
