I’m using HootSuit to manege my social networks and track my links. I’d like to us the ow.ly service so i can keep tracking and getting reports from hootsuit of the automatics tweets.

I actually dont know if ow.ly support GET and how to know it.

Is it possible to us this?

Thanks again, nice job

Where you able to get this to work? When I use the code you have there I get an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/content/x/d/r/xdreamwalker/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/tweet-this/tweet-this.php on line 221

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

What I did is edit the tweet-this.php and directly placed in the bpt.st api link code.

[code]
case 'custom':
$url = tt_read_file('http://bpt.st/yourls-api.php?action=shorturl&format=simple&url=' . $purl);
// $url = tt_read_file(str_replace('[LONGURL]',
// urlencode($purl), tt_option('tt_custom_url_service')));
break;
[/code]

And that did the trick.

One other question, assuming you don’t want to update your plugin to support this properly, seeings as your plugin is GPL, could I add support for http://bpt.st and release it on my blog? (I wouldn’t submit it to WordPress.org) I know you are mainly just supporting the large URL shorteners, but I would like to see this work as well.

I have a custom service @ http://bpt.st and I want to use your plugin on the blog for the same site, http://blog.bpt.st

There is an API for yourls that supports GET, but when I enter it in to the config, it doesn’t work. It may be because they are on the same server, not sure.

My custom url to the API is http://bpt.st/yourls-api.php?action=shorturl&format=simple&url=LONGURL and when I type it into my browser (replacing the [LONGURL] of course), it returns the plain text shortened link as expected, but it doesn’t work with your plugin.

Could it be because it is on the same server? If so, (and assuming you don’t want to add this), what can I edit in your plugin file to make it available? Yourls has it’s own wp to twitter plugin, but I like the fact that yours has all the extra services as well.

The following is the response from the author of the “pretty Link” plugin:

//Since Tweet This is a WordPress plugin, the best thing it could do is access my API directly (no need for get or post — it’s a simple function call in PHP).//

I thought this info may be useful to you for integration of the two. Pretty link URl is this:

I like the ease of using Tweet This and I’ll be happy if I could use a customized short URL on my domain for Twittering with that.

Thanks and regards
