Night Dreaming (by Sudar)

Okay, yet another update to my Easy Retweet Plugin.

Configure retweet button for each post

Now you can enable or disable the retweet button for each post or page. When you update to the new version, you will see a new box on the right hand side of the write post/page screen where you can enable or disable the button.

This setting will over ride all the other options which are set in the admin console page.

Removed the hard coded wp-content path

I have also removed the hard coded reference to the wp-content path. This means that the Plugin will work for people who have moved their wp-content to a different folder.

This change involved a hack to make the JavaScript work properly. I will write an article explaining this hack in detail, meanwhile if you can’t wait then check out the source code. It is well documented.

Download

You can download the latest version of the Plugin from the Plugin’s homepage.

I have added some new features and fixed a couple of bugs to my Easy Retweet Plugin after the recent update.

Specifying your own bit.ly API Key

Now you can specify your own bit.ly API key to create shorturls and associate them to your own bit.ly account, instead of using the build-in default account.

The main use of this feature is that, now you can track the clicks and stats for these shorturls from your bit.ly account dashboard. But be warned that, once option is enabled, the Plugin will create shorturl for all posts in your blog. Your bit.ly account might become a mess, if you have large number of posts in your blog.

I have added some more new features to the Easy Retweet Plugin after the recent update.

Support for shortcode

Easy Retweet Plugin now supports shortcodes. Now you can place the retweet button anywhere (and even within) in the post. All you have to do is just to include the following shortcode, where you want the button to be displayed.

[ easy-retweet ]

The above shortcode will be replaced with the retweet button when the post is rendered. Cool hah?

Adding prefix to the Twitter message

The other new feature is that, now you can specify any text as prefix for the Twitter message. You can add your own twitter username or any other message that you wanted to be prefixed.

The following is the screenshot of the admin UI with this feature.

Apart from this I have also made some performance improvements to the Plugin, which will work behind the scenes.

I am getting lot of positive feedback for my Easy Retweet WordPress Plugin and I am really very happy about it. It is really a great feeling to know that the code you wrote is liked by other people.

New Features

Getting back to the Plugin, I have added two more options to it so that you can have fine grain control over how the button it is displayed in your posts. They are

• You can now customize the text that is displayed in button. This will be particularly useful if you are running a non English WordPress blog.
• You can now choose whether you want the button to appear in the home page or not.
