Add handle override per tweet

    Hello! I’m excited to learn about this project. I had started to dev housemade’s version before find your version which had some similar customizations already built in – awesome!

    However, one ability I’ve been trying to add is the ability to customize the handle per tweet. I think the best way to do this is to build onto the .js file you’ve created. Something like:

    {
    type: 'textbox',
    name: 'handle_override',
    label: editor.getLang( 'bctt.handleOverride', 'Handle Override' )
}

    Then, in better-click-to-tweet.php, add a conditional that says something like IF handle=yes and handle_override=yes, then use handle override instead of handle.

    I’m not sure how you’re currently parsing text from that JS file though, and was wondering if this functionality would be something you’d be interested in adding?

    Thanks for your great work!

    Hi Max,

    Thanks for the message!

    That’s an interesting feature. If I add it, though, I would probably add it as another hidden option, where advanced users would need to manually add it to the shortcode (not as an additional field on the js file, because that type of advanced functionality would not be something that 80% or more of my plugin’s users would want). For more on my philosophy for making those kind of decisions, you can read the first part of this guide:

    The way I might attack it is to add some logic to the “via” parameter of the shortcode (in the main plugin php file) to check for a handle name there, (it’s currently accepting ‘yes’ and ‘no’ as options) and if it is, to use it.

    I will put some thought toward that next week. Thanks so much for the message!

    Hey Max, if you upgrade to version 4.7, you’ll see that I have added in your feature request. I’ll appreciate it if you give it a try and see if it works for you. I hope to add some documentation of this new feature sometime this afternoon. Thanks again for the suggestion. Have a great day!

    And I just discovered a “bug” that when you upgrade from a previous version, sometimes your browser will cache the old js file, and the visual editor will not show the new Username box on the modal.

    This is fixed by hard-refreshing your browser. ?
