WordTwit Feature Requests
Oct 5 2009 • Written By Duane Storey • 31 Comments

We’ve had our nose to the grindstone for a few months here, and haven’t had much time to update any of our plugins. But rest assured we’re still committed to them, and will be updating most of them shortly.

With that in mind, we wanted to see if there were any feature requests for WordTwit. We’ll probably add official WPMU support to it shortly, as well as per-user Twitter information, so each person’s Tweets can go to a different stream. Another feature we might add is the ability to Tweet to multiple accounts at the same time, for sites with multiple streams.

If you have any great ideas for features, just drop a comment here. Thanks.

    Not sire if this is supported or not but can the plugin tweet the post on the publishing time not the posting time for scheduled posts?

    say I write a pot and set it to be published after 3 days I don’t want to tweet it now but after 3 days when it’s actually published.

    It is possible?

    I’d like the option to track tweets in the manner of auto creation of appended query string like:

    ?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=The+Invisible+Browser

    The Tracked Tweets plugin does this, but it doesnt use ow.ly

    Cheers,

    David

    This plugin would be perfect if it had tr.im support.

    Of all the URL shorteners I’ve used, tr.im is my favourite as it just has the most features.

    Would be nice to have a little more transparency and/or tools for custom URLs. This would include:

    • preview – “your short URL looks like”
    • work with unique folder structures – /blog/ or /wp/2009/10/
    • custom strings – like bit.ly offers (http://bit.ly/u2live)
    • custom code prefixes – add “~” to all short URL codes: http://me.com/~je5 instead of http://me.com/je5

    thnx =)

    @Ahmed – WordTwit already does that (post a tweet when article is published, not when it’s created).

    Some kind of simple log would be nice, especially for when errors are encountered. If a post didn’t get tweeted, is it because Twitter was overloaded or because the URL shortener didn’t respond? Right now there’s no way to tell. If there is a log, though, it should also record successful posts.

    And I definitely second the “button for manual tweeting” request, exactly for circumstances where either Twitter or the shortener failed.

    I’ll also put in a plug for adding is.gd to the list of shorteners. I already hacked my copy of WordTwit to add it, so it’s not as huge a deal for me, but it’ll be annoying to re-add it every time the plugin updates. (Let me know if you want my is.gd routine, not that it was that complicated.)

    I’d like to be able to have it retweet a specified number of times at a specified interval. For example, it could post 3 tweets with 2 hours between tweets.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this plugin.

    Set Hashtags per category would be clutch, example Category “News” can have #news appended to it or whatever I set in the admin for the cat.

    I second all above requests, especially the too-long-title preview/warning and scheduling. I’d also want some more url shorteners to be included, and especially the m0e.me one. I manually hardcode it into my plugin files but of course every plugin update resets my changes. So, m0e.me works as simple as tinyurl.com: http://m0e.me/yourls-api.php?action=shorturl&format=simple&url=URL_HERE would result a plain text response.

    Thank you in advance! :)

    Currently, if I schedule an embargoed press release to appear two hours from now, WordTwit goes ahead and tweet it anyway, thus breaking the embargo…

    Great if it could support scheduled posts.

    Thanks!
