- Twitter plugin - include main cat
1 tilqicom Feb 19, 2012 16:22
I would like to include main category in my tweet as well as excerpt/url/title.
I added [cat_name] to several places but it didnt do anything.Below is the _twitter.plugin.php
Let me know if you have any idea.
I dont need it but other people might want to add tags or additional cats to their tweets as well.

Well, an option to opt-out tweeting in the writing screen would be good for starters.(a checkbox like text-renderers do).I may not want to tweet every post.
An option "Dont tweet PAGES", i believe most people wouldnt like to tweet page type posts.
Above i said that i dont want it to re-tweet when the post is updated, but for some this might be a useful "feature".
Other than these, an option to use different url shortener service would be good (goo.gl, bit.ly esp.) So that user can track the clicks of the tweet.
I dont know how the tweet is truncated.But lets say i used "$title$ $excerpt$ $main_cat$ $tags"
I would want to have all 4 of them in my tweet.It wouldnt be nice to let any of them out if it exceeds 140 characters.It should work like this, lets say "title=20chars excerpt=160chars main_cat=15chars url=20chars"
20 + 15 + 20 (title+url+cat) + Excerpt truncated = 140
So the expert should be truncated to 85 chars.
The fields to include in the tweet may be extended to these
#title#: the title of your blog post
#blog#: the title of the blog
#additional_cats# : additional cats as well as main cat
#post_tags#: tags of the post
#date#: the post date
#author#: the post author
#mention#: also mention this @tweeter_user
Finally a harder task: Include the picture in the tweet if the post has a linked image (useful for PhotoBlogs).But including image url is not enough, since a "preview" wont be available in the tweet.There should be a preview just like when you upload an image via photobucket, twitpic etc.Otherwise there is no point in it.

Any updates on the ability to write Main Cat inside tweet ?
Btw, i wonder if twitter api allows uploads via api.. did a little reading here but i was just about to go to sleep so i didnt got much of it : D :

If tw allows uploads to twitter, we could attach post images to tweets, useful esp. for photoblog
Item object doesn't have cat_name property, the following will return an empty string
I'll edit the plugin to include cat_name. What else do you think is important?
