I’m pushing out another new version of Twitter Tools to address some problems people are having. This version has only three changes from yesterday’s release:
- Added
autocomplete="off"to the username and password fields on the Settings page. - Made the error message when the login fails more explicit (removed debug info).
- Made the link to the Settings page from the Plugins page a bit more elegant.
If you aren’t having problems with 1.5, no need to upgrade. If you are having trouble, this version might help.
The download and more information are available on my WordPress Plugins page.
If you have any trouble with this, please open a thread in the WP Support Forums and e-mail me a link to the thread.

One thing I noticed is most of the settings don’t respect https. Should use some of the newer link building functions

Thanks so much, Alex! The nicer messages on the login test screen let me figure out what I was doing wrong (danged outdated password).
Wonderful plugin. My only request would be the ability to add nofollows to links to twitter — or rel=”me” … or even “me nofollow” if so desired.
Would be handy, at least for me… Hopefully others as well.

Hey Alex, this is such a sweet tool for blogs, I love the syndication of when my blog is updated. I am looking for a new feature to be added: I would love to have more than one twitter user. It would be nice to tell the setup that I have two (or three or 20 twitter accounts) and it will allow me to set up each account and have all the same settings available to each user. Ideally it is so I can have new blog posts tweeted to each user and to have more back tweets of each user in the sidebar area.
I hope this sounds feasible. all the best

Mean Dean adds this Comment:
I love this tool – but I’m finding with 1.5.1a that scheduled posts aren’t tweeting.
I note that the it “unsets” the ‘Notify Twitter about this post?’ checkbox after posting (though in the settings its default is ‘yes’).
I have to manually check it and re-save the post for it to tweet – it then posts.

I’m seeing similar behavior as Mean Dean. I’m using Wordpress 2.6.3 and Twitter Tools 1.5.1. I schedule posts, make sure the check box is checked, the posts go live, but never twitter and the checkbox is unchecked.

Greg Tidwell adds this Comment:
Thanks for yet another great wordpress plugin. I just set it up on my girlfriend’s blog and tweaked it a little bit, posting the tweak here.
She didn’t want to tweet every blog post by default, but the checkbox for ‘Notify twitter about this post?’ wasn’t very visible and she thought she’d forget.
I am using jquery to move this option to the sidebar, just after the ‘Keep this post private’ option.
on line 1693, i added an id to the p element:
then add the following anywhere:
if( is_admin() ){
if($pagenow==’post.php’ || $pagenow==’post-new.php’){
add_action(‘admin_head’,'move_twitter_publish_option’);
}
}
function move_twitter_publish_option(){?>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(‘#submitpost div.inside p.curtime’).before(jQuery(‘#twit_pub_option’));
});

Greg Tidwell adds this Comment:
so the code got stripped.
there should be a script element around the jquery code
and it should also go back into php and end the function

Feature Suggestions:
- Customize the format string for tweets generated from blog posts, eg: BLOG: %title% %url%
(Currently the plugin is hard coded to use “New blog post” which is eating up 13 characters)
- Automatically substr the length of the %title% based on 144 – strlen(prefix) – strlen(url) so that urls never get cut off.
Awesome plugin!

chris flannery adds this Comment:
I really like this plugin.
Will there be any future customizable titles for blog posts (as imported from Twitter). I would prefer not to have the blog title contain anything, or at least not mirror the content of the tweet… or pheraps something as simple as “Alex said…”, “Tweet”, “Tweet date/time”.
Best,
Chris

Garrison adds this Comment:
I was wondering if there was any update on the issue of tweets not being sent when scheduled posts are published? I’m using WordPress 2.7 and Twitter Tools 1.5.1a and that doesn’t work. Does anyone have a patch that fixes that problem or an ETA on when that will be fixed in a new release? I can’t seem to find another tool that does that and I really like Twitter Tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Chris adds this Comment:
Love the plug-in, but I have a small request: when it generated the html for the sidebar, can you have it add different classes to different kinds of links? It’s screws up the formatting a little bit since it applies a “display:block” to all the links, even if they’re not just the one at the end of the tweet. (Thinking of twitterIDs in the middle of tweets.)
I could write some CSS code myself to adjust things if only there was different classes, but I don’t know enough PHP to make the adjustments myself to that side of things.
Otherwise, love it and use it!

Alex adds this Comment:
You have enough specificity available to set the CSS styles on those elements as needed.

Great plug-in! Been using it for about a month and it’s been great.
I do have a feature request (not sure if this is the correct forum to make it), but when I delete tweets from Twitter, the deletion doesn’t get reflected on the blog and there isn’t really a way to manually delete the tweet from the blog either, either ways which I wouldn’t mind.
February 2nd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Krunk adds this Comment:
And yep, in regards to Garrison’s comment about scheduled posts sending a tweet, I hit into that a few times. So after the scheduled post is posted, I would manually go edit the post some time later, check the post to twitter box, and update.

@Heather B
Not sure if you figured it out yet, but under Settings -> Twitter Tool Options, you should see something like:
Exclude @reply tweets in your sidebar, digests and created blog posts?

Hey Alex,
I love Twitter Tools, but I’d love to see the ability to alter the default text for when Twitter Tools tweets my blog posts.
Also, I’ve never had much luck with Twitter Tools’ tweeting posts that are scheduled when they are published. I haven’t tried it recently. Any thoughts on why this wouldn’t work?
