linkifying syndicated content in P2

    Hi, I am running a P2 blog at work to act as a virtual “watercooler.” Some of my users are also twitter users and have aked if we can’t simply syndicate their posts into this blog. So we added feedwordpress and this works great. Only problem is that the RSS feeds from twitter send plain text in the description field of the RSS feed. This is actually normal. But we would like it if when people shared URLs in twitter they were clickable links in the P2 too.

    I actually have a small regular expression that looks for an http string and then wraps it in an a href – my problem is I do not know where in the P2 theme to place this href so that it will filter and apply on every post as it is getting written to the main display column. I am not terribly experienced at either PHP or theme customization, so any tips appreciated. Cheers, Scott Leslie

    Try this:
    > in feedwordpress options,
    > go to posts&links
    > from the formatting options, select: ‘expose syndicated posts to formatting filters’ (this was not the default)
    > check to see if new posts are displaying live links from twitter

    hopefully that solves it

    Doh! Sure enough it was as simple as that, thanks a lot Nobble.
