   Hello,

   on the twitter developers page you can find the following tweet button

   <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <div>
      <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
         data-url="https://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button"
         data-via="your_screen_name"
         data-text="Checking out this page about Tweet Buttons"
         data-related="anywhere:The Javascript API"
         data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
   </div>

   Now I want to hardcode this into my theme. I thought it should work with the following code:

   <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <div>
      <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
         data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"
         data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>"
         data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
   </div>

   Now the problem comes. The title shows up fine, but there is no URL what so ever. What do I do wrong?

   (the website is on a local server)

   this was making the error

   thanks for your answer.

   For anyone who wants to code the tweet this into his theme (with short permalink):

   <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <div>
      <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
         data-url="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url')."/?p=".$post->ID; ?>"
         data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>"
         data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
   </div>

   You can replace the_permalink by the_shortlink if you want, but I wouldn't worry too much about that if I were you : Twitter automatically shortens your links with their t.co URL shortener.
