Love it!

I like this plugin a lot and use it on a few blogs but there’s a major bug that causes tweets to be made when a post is edited even if you have that option unchecked in the admin interface.

Hi, Dave. Thank you for your bug report and your fixes on the Google code site. I will include this on the weekend.

hi. Thanks for plugin

perfect.

Regards

Feature suggestion: Change the options to be on each users profile page. That way you can set tweets to be made only for users who have the option turned on in their profile page.

Really like this plug-in, however it does not tweet letter with accents correctly such as á or é, making it a little unconfortable por tweeting in other languages other than english.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the great plug-in.

However there’s a small bug I had to hack the code a little bit. You shouldn’t encode the title with utf-8 if the blog encoding is already utf-8.

@Alexander we had the same problem and fixed it by changing line 82 in tweetly_updater.php

from:

$status = utf8_encode($sentence);

$status = $sentence;

Cheers

@Ozberk & Alexander: I will look into this on the weekend and fix it for the next version. Thank you for your input.

@Michael

i like this blog tool, i will use this in my blog.

Thank you

Is there a way to add other tags besides title?

In the file, tweetly_updater.php, there are problems with the “@” sign on lines 66 & 75. These lines are adding an “@” sign to the link and it’s causing problems with the link (it’s breaking the link for some people on Twitter). So I removed the (@) sign and it works find now.

When the tweets that are sent by Tweetly Updater hit my account, they are only 60 characters long. I need to know how to increase this number and what the maximum is. Thanks!

There is a new realease (http://www.zepan.org/2009/05/24/tweetly-updater-112/) that fixes the encoding problem and eliminates the @ character.

@kim: I will look into this 60 characters thing.

Thanks for this.

You can follow on twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/adesojiadegbulu will follow u back ASAP

Maybe the first category name somewhere in the tweet will be good, because just the title isn\’t always a descriptive way to say what are you linking to

this is what i\’ve done:
after title variable initialization
$cat=get_the_category($post_ID);
$categories = $cat[0]->cat_name;

and this in the variable concatenation:
$thisposttitle = $categories . \’ | \’ .$thisposttitle . \’ \’ . $shortlink;

Version 1.1.2 of this plugin is sending Twitter updates when updating a post even if this feature is turned off in the options.

Dear friend,

Thanks for sharing your plugin.

I’m using it and it’s quite useful.

I would like to add my two cents. I noticed that your plugin add a new metakey everytime a post is saved. It is absolutelly transparent for most users but a few of them could be picky with it.

I just changed lines 87-88 to the following ones:
$metaShortLink = get_post_meta($post_ID, “tweetlyUpdater_bitlyUrl”, true);
if ($metaShortLink == ”) {
if (!add_post_meta($post_ID, “tweetlyUpdater_bitlyUrl”, $shortlink, false)) {
error_log(“Could not add bitly url to meta data”);
}
}

I hope you can implement it in the next version so I don’t have to hack it again!!!

All best
Will

It’s me again.

My solution fail if the permalink is changed so the plugin should save the original permalink and create a new metadata only if it changes.

I think there is a problem with your Plug-in. After the Twitter update from yesterday the plug-in no longer works. In the admin I get:
You twitter login could not be verified!

If I go to the twitter site I can login without any problem.

Hi, I use a plugin that allows me to blog in more than one language but your plugin doesn’t filter out the HTML comments that show the language. Could you please add a filter to the title to remove anything in html comments?

Hi, I have the same problem than daniel :
“Your twitter login could not be verified”
but my login & password are correct

Hello,

is it possible to post article tags to twitter like #title#/#firstcategory# -> #firsttag# ?!

Been using this plugin for a few months and really like it, though, I just realized that any scheduled post get posted to Twitter immediately. This is quite a big bug.

Hope this is a quick fix.

Happy New Year,
Justin

@JustinKorn: Please see the new release 1.2.1, this should fix the problem: http://bit.ly/8DsUvB

Great plugin. Very easy to set up! Works like a CHARM!

your plugin has been recommended by someone I trust with my internet presence @ErinBlaskie. If it’s good enough for her then it’s good enough for me.

Can you advise on this issue.

“Your php installation doesn’t support the json_decode functionality.”

Do I need to change something at my end?

Thank you

@tamara: I think your PHP installation is outdated. You need PHP 5 >= 5.2.0 or the PECL extension json >= 1.2.0 (http://bit.ly/db0DjK).

Thank you for your advice, I’ll look into that.

Great plugin.
But i want to ask one question. Is it possible to make that the plugin don`t use bit.ly service and put full website adress?

Hi mar. This plugin will always use bit.ly and only bit.ly. I build the plugin to use the bit.ly stats for my tweeted links.

Michael -

Quick question on when tweetly will send. If I create a new post that is private, then edit it then finally set to public I’m not seeing a tweet when I flip it. I’m not sure if it is supposed to send one but any way to get that going or have a check box to ‘force’ tweet if that makes sense?

Thanks for you hard work too!

Sandy

Hi Sandy, at the moment Tweetly Updater triggers at the following transitions:

future to publish
new to publish
draft to publish
pending to publish
publish to publish

I will look into the WP API if there’s a way to trigger private to public. In the meantime you could leave your unfinished post just in draft status before publishing?

Hi,

I just installed the plugin and it’s tweeting posts without bit.ly links. It’s updating the title and nothing else.

I introduced my bit.ly info, but I don’t know what’s happening.

In the setup page, it says that the plugin wil send updates as “#title#”.

does it have to be like “#title# #link#” or something?

thanks for the plugin anyway

Michael,

I find this possibly the best plugin for twitter available.

One quick question… I have set up a site, http://www.reviewrecruiter.com.au which is using a review engine and users are able to post reviews (which are stored under comments). Is there any way that I can make the comment tweeted?

Rick.

Don’t you recognize that it is the best time to get the mortgage loans, which would make your dreams come true.

Hi i am trying to use it on this website, but it keeps saying it cant verify my bit.ly log-in. I keep cutting and pasting the code, but no joy.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Pat

Wonder if any one has found a way to add the authors name into the post. I have been toying with this for a bit. I am prolly overlooking something simple.

Awesome, just what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch!

~ Regards.

Hi, I’m just wondering if I can let it tweet only new posts? I don’t wanna show page updates..

ah.. anyone?

Jessica, there is a setting to turn it off for updates, so it will only twitter new blog posts. Just make sure you DESELECT the tickbox for “Update Twitter when the an old post has been edited”

thanks jeff, but i mean i wanna tweet only posts. not pages. can i do that??

Das Plugin funktioniert sehr gut. Jedoch werden Tweets ausgeliefert bevor das Wordpress-Plugin Duplicate Posts Eraser doppelte / mehrfache Posts löschen kann. Gibt es hierfür eine Lösung?

I see a few comments regarding the bug I was about to submit, however, I still seem to have the issue when the bug was submitted in January. Are you going to update the plugin to handle the update on page update bug?

Nice information. Thank you for the guide you gave to me. It will help a lot.

yes i added this to may wordpress blog long time ago and its works!

Hi Tweetly Updater is working well. But why do my post titles appear in larger font when my blog posts update on twitter? Thanks

@Mike TweetlyUpdater has no influence on the rendering of your blog posts. Can you give more details?

Hey Michael, My apologies for my earlier question. As per usual, Twitter just displays the most recent post in a larger format. Duh

I must have been having a slow brain day and the plugin is working fine for me. Many thanks.

yes i added this to may wordpress blog long time ago and its works!

This is a great plugin – thank you. I have a problem with it however, where it is posting updates to twitter when new pages are created (not just posts). Is there an update that prevents this from occuring?

Thanks in advance

Auf auf! WP-3.0-Kompatibel machen! :p

Seems like there is a problem with the new Wordpress 3.0. When you create a menu and add new links into it, seems like it’s tweeting it !! I think that it should not. What do you think ?

It seems that with 3.0 it wont tweet the tags anymore….

Where is the download for this plugin? I can’t find a link anywhere on this page

For KarmaTiger : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetly-updater/

First off, this is an awesome plug-in!

I know this is probably going in the wrong place, but to get the category and tags to tweet with 3.0 change line 100 of the tweetly_update.php file to:
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);

and line 110 to:
$tags = get_the_tags($post->ID);

Hope that helps (sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place)!

Cheers,
Kash

it worked!!!

Hi Michael. Adding another vote for a proper category/tag fix. Thanks!

Hi there!

Love the plugin. Is there a way to limit the rate at which tweets are sent out? For example trigger a tweet every 5 minutes instead of all at once?

Thanks!

i have another problem. When I schedule a post the categories are not tweeted

Hi commenters, I’m currently on holidays. There will be a new version when I’m back in a week or so. Please leave your bugs and suggestions at the Google Code issue tracker http://code.google.com/p/tweetlyupdater/issues/list

Will this continue to work after the end of the month when Twitter makes its changes? Or are you making an update for that?

Great plugin, thanks for sharing it

Published version 1.3.0: http://bit.ly/9EXNyo

thanks for the update but you didnt fix the earlier problem:

when scheduling a post the tags are not used as hashtags in de tweet.

Hi there, I just updated to the latest version and there is a few new sections, when I save the options I get the following error message.
“Could not bind to your twitter account, please try again!”
Any suggestions?
I have linked it with my twitter account fine.

@Jason That means that the plugin received an error response from Twitter after you authorized the application (it needs to get it’s custom credentials). The code is trying to connect to Twitter in the background, maybe the connection is blocked. Can you tell me more about your installation?

Hi Michael! I’m getting the same error all of a sudden today. I installed the plugin two days ago and it worked fine until today. I input all the information again and it’s doing the same thing. I can, if you would like, create a temporary admin account for you so you could take a look at the coding or whatever? Thanks in advance!

@Michael when scheduling a post the tags are not used as hashtags in de tweet.

@Nikki Do you use the new 1.3.0 Version of the plugin?

Hello, after the update, i get the same error “Could not bind to your twitter account, please try again!

Your bit.ly login could not be verified!”
i tried twice to delete/reinstall the plugin, and to revoke authotization fro twitter, with no luck
im using last WP version

@Simone That error occurs if the plugin can not connect to the Bitly or Twitter services. Is there anything else that you have changed in your setup (WP Version, PHP Version?).

no i did not changed anything, btw i resolved this way:
on bit.ly ive linked the account to twitter, then ive revoked, and on the config of your plugin ive reinserted the API from Bit.ly, and now everyhing is going fine

Stopped working for me after upgrading to the new version. Says that my Twitter login could not be verified. When I click to login, I get a 500 internal server error.

@Brian is that 500 Error generated by Twitter or your server?

will no one solve the schedule bug?

Michael, today my Tweetly updater stopped connecting with Twitter. Apparently They changed from Basic Authentication (Bauth) to Oauth. Will there be an update to solve this soon?

@Joseph Please see the new version [http://bit.ly/9EXNyo], it has Twitter Oauth support.

Hi Michael,

Love the plug in by the way, but an issue I’ve noticed when updating on some of my blogs with the update. When clicking on the sign up with Twitter icon it sends me to a page not found or 404 page on my blog and not to Twitter so I can authorise my account. Do i need to edit something in the code? They are all Wordpress.org templates.

Regards

Mike

@Mike Please add some more details to the issue I openend for this [http://code.google.com/p/tweetlyupdater/issues/detail?id=23].
