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

Thanks again!

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.

 

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') . ' '. $item->title ).'&url=' . $itemURLForTwitter;        }

 

You can check whether your hosting supports you curl by phpinfoSorry for English ...

This fixed it. Sorry it was at the bottom and did not notice.

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
