Let it be your will. I test this and report the results.

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( $item->title . '|' ) . '&url=' . $itemURLForTwitter . '&via=' . urlencode( $params->get('twitterUsername')); }

In K2, locate the file called view.html.php in components>com_k2>views>item

On line 220, change:

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

Any answer to how to remove the + signs between the title? Nothing on your site Devsmi that I could see.

You'll see the problem if you click the twitter link from here: www.swaysearch.com/blog/item/7-finding-killer-keywords-for-successful-seo

Other than the additional + signs works great though.

Cheers

A solution to this was discussed earlier in the thread...Jonski said:
