Has anyone found where to change the default text that gets sent to Twitter when clicking on "Tweet This to your followers" I would like to customize that a bit...

Thanks

Found it here: components/com_k2/views/view.html.php around line 197.

Be careful!

There is a much better way to do this by using the language file. You find the relevant text in the languages folder for Joomla

/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_k2.ini

Just look for the text and change the part to the right, but do not change the text in all capitals. This way you do not need to change any core files and when there is an update, you do not have to redo anything.

If your language is not English, then just make a copy of this file and rename it according to your language. I made one for Norwegian and called it nb-NO.com_k2.ini .

I'm referring to the text that autopopulates in Twitter -- that, unfortunately is not in the language file, though I wish it was. It uses "Reading @yourtwittername tinyurl..."

i really need this as well.. where i can chante that "Reading @username ItemTitle tinyurl.com/2ed4cz" As well i would like to add some intro text from the Item. How can i do that?

you can find it in /components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php Line 217.

Be patient - if you change it you hack the core. Changes will be gone if you update K2

thank you for your replay, ok but how could i translate this in another set of chars.. this is in ANSI encoded and i need it in UTF-8.. can i somehow make translation for the "Reading" word in the k2 language file?

and how could i add to read couple of words from the Item, now it's only the title but i would like something like intro text



here is the code just to make thins easier
//Twitter link
if ($params->get('itemTwitterLink') && $params->get('twitterUsername')) {
$itemURLForTwitter = ($params->get('tinyURL')) ? @file_get_contents('tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='.$item->absoluteURL) : $item->absoluteURL;
$item->twitterURL = 'twitter.com/home/?status='.urlencode('Reading @'.$params->get('twitterUsername').' '.$item->title.' '.$itemURLForTwitter);
}

thank you very much for helping!
