Tweet This 1.8.1

Adds a "Tweet This Post" link to every post, shortens URLs, and can automatically tweet posts using OAuth. Includes the Wickett Twitter Widget. Allows you to post and schedule tweets from a new "Write Tweet" page under the "Posts" menu. Includes support for the Bit.ly API. Also includes options to add Plurk, Yahoo Buzz, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, Ping.fm, Reddit, and StumbleUpon links to each post.Tweet This 1.7.6 adds a Twitter Updates widget and some other changes.* Added "Twitter Updates" widget to Apperance > Widgets (requires WP 2.8 or later). This lets you show the latest tweets of any Twitter user in your sidebar. I copied the code from Automattic's Wickett Twitter Widget plugin.* Added ability to use URL shorteners other than Bit.ly on the Write Tweet page. You can now specify "URL Service to use on posts and auto-tweets" and "URL service to use on the Write Tweet page" in the Tweet This options.* Bumped minimum version from 2.3 to 2.7, because automatic tweeting and the Write Tweet page don't work in WP 2.6 or earlier.* A link to a tweet published from the Write Tweet screen is displayed in the confirmation message, i.e. "Tweet published to Twitter successfully. (24413804918)" (the status ID is a link).* The usage of the tt_tweeted custom field on posts and pages has changed from "true" or "false" to the tweet URL or "false". Example: "http://twitter.com/richardxthripp/status/24413804918". If the URL is present, a link to it will be displayed in the "Tweet This" section on the edit post screen. This change is fully backward-compatible.* The usage of the tt_response column in the wp_tweet_this_scheduled database table has changed from the HTTP response code to the tweet status ID (i.e. 24413804918) if the response code is 200, or the original behavior if the response code is not 200. This change is fully backward-compatible and will be built upon in future releases.* Changed tweet_this_link_text(), tweet_this_title_text(), and tweet_this_css() functions to echo instead of return and added get_tweet_this_link_text(), get_tweet_this_title_text(), and get_tweet_this_css() for the old behavior.* Added get_tt_read_file() and get_tt_display_limits() as aliases to the normal functions. The original functions still return rather than echo. Note that get_tt_option() was added in 1.7.* Gave better credit for functions borrowed from Muhammad Arfeen, Joe Dolson, Alex King, and Jeff Roberson in Tweet This source code.* Bugfix: Tweet This would not activate on WP 1.5. Now it works in WP 1.5, but OAuth, Automatic Tweeting, and the Write Tweet page are broken.Normally, posting a link to Twitter takes up a lot of space. Though they shorten URLs with Bit.ly, it doesn't happen till after you post your tweet, so the length of the original URL takes away from your 140 characters.While your readers might go to Bit.ly, copy and paste the blog post's permalink, shorten the URL, copy that new URL, go to Twitter, and paste it into the box, this plugin merges all that into one step.This plugin makes short URLs like http://yourblog.com/?p=1234, then displays a link to Twitter for each post, with an optional icon (twelve choices). This is done automatically for each post as needed. You can choose a URL shortener including Adjix.com, B2l.me, Bit.ly, Is.gd, Metamark.net, SnipURL.com, Su.pr, Th8.us, TinyURL.com, and Tweetburner.com. Each shortened URL is cached as a custom field in the postmeta table to keep load times fast. The cached records are updated or deleted as needed when you edit a post's permalink, delete a post, change your site's permalink structure, or change URL services. In WP 3.0 or later, Tweet This hooks the short URLs into the get_shortlink filter.This plugin can also tweet new blog posts automatically, if you provide your Twitter credentials in the options. Then a "Send to Twitter" checkbox appears when writing a new post, along with a text box so you can change the tweet text for that specific blog post. As of 1.7, OAuth is used.Installation :Before you begin, please make sure your server has PHP 5 and Curl enabled. Tweet This requires WordPress 2.7 or later. WP 2.8 is required for the Twitter Updates widget. You can install Tweet This on any version back to WP 1.5, but automatic tweets, the Write Tweet page, and the widget won't work. 1. Upload the tweet-this folder to /wp-content/plugins/. 2. If you're using WordPress MU and want this plugin active for all blogs, move tweet-this.php to /wp-content/mu-plugins/ at this point. 3. Else, activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 4. Tweet This icons should automatically appear on every post and page! Go to Settings > Tweet This to set up auto-tweeting or change stuff. 5. Optionally, delete readme.txt and the screenshots folder to save space.
