It works for me too. Thank you Devsmi!

I just changed your pass to the same as your username. try again

Remember. when Twitter removes the old version of their site for good and makes the "new version" the default..you mighthave to change back

Thanks for your help devsmi.

Therefore, I have the same problem with a '+' in between the words.

Ok yes I see it. off the top of my head I have no clue where that comes from, I will try to make some free time to look into it

 

Yes the fix works but I am also getting the titles displayed with "+" instead of spaces

I can't log in to your site either. Still awaiting activation email. :-(

marco, registering on my site is not sending out any personal information. only an email and username that you make up. Is that too much to ask in return for my time spent on this fix, offered to you for free?

It seems that the reason this happends is because twitter implemented their new homepage. If you click the button to use their old page again then this works just like before with no problem..But now with the new page there is a redirect in there. My fix is only going to be temporary because once twitter makes the new page the default and only one..things should work like normal again :) Although maybe somebody from k2 team can fix it for now

Hello devsmi,

Thanks for your help with registration on your site. I was able to get in and applied the fix.

The fix works great, but the url is not shortened. :-(

Re: the '+' symbol, I changed "urlencode" to "urldecode", which replaces the plus sign with a space.

 

Hi Mary!

 

Thanks so much for that fix to remove the '+'. Works great!

 

Also my URL does come up shortened. I enabled Tiny URL on the backend.Mary Jezierski said:

My bad... I had "Enable TinyURL integration for 'Tweet this' link" in the K2 parameters turned off. All is good now!

Thanks again!

Good Job Mary I didnt even think of that :)

$item->twitterURL = 'twitter.com/home/?status='.urlencode('Reading @'.$params->get('twitterUsername').' '.$item->title.' '.$itemURLForTwitter);

 

to

 

$item->twitterURL = 'twitter.com/share?text='. urlencode( $params->get('twitterUsername') ).'&url=' . $itemURLForTwitter;

This doesn't work.. and when I don't do anything I still get + signs in the description.

go to: components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php and view.raw.php

 

find: if ($params->get('itemTwitterLink') && $params->get('twitterUsername')) { ...

 

and replace function with:

 

if ($params->get('itemTwitterLink') && $params->get('twitterUsername')) {                        $itemURLForTwitter = $item->absoluteURL;                        if($params->get('tinyURL')) {            $ch = curl_init();            $timeout = 5;            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='.$item->absoluteURL);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);            $itemURLForTwitter = curl_exec($ch);            curl_close($ch);            }                        $item->twitterURL = 'twitter.com/share?text='. urlencode( $params->get('twitterUsername') .

something like that "via @myusername" the only thing that post right now with  this fix is is username and after the title and the link of twitter

You can do a variety of ways ... just follow the API. It is somewhat customizable. How do you want?

item title | twitter link via @username
