# Twitter Tweet coded into theme

 * Hello,
 * on the [twitter developers page](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button) 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.
