Retweets get truncated

Slightly improved version:

if ($tweet->retweeted_status) $tweet_text = "RT " . $tweet->retweeted_status->user->name . ": " . $tweet->retweeted_status->text;

Damn.

if ($tweet->retweeted_status)
            $tweet_text = "RT " . $tweet->retweeted_status->user->name . ": " . $tweet->retweeted_status->text;

Correct username:

if ($tweet->retweeted_status)
            $tweet_text = "Retweet @" . $tweet->retweeted_status->user->name . ": " . $tweet->retweeted_status->text;

Thanks for sharing the code.

Welcome.

Hi – I tried to put this code in but I’m not sure if I have done it correctly – I could not see line numbers in the editor so I just pasted it just before the end of the code. However, long RT still gets truncated – usually the URL at the end, which makes the post redundant.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks ??

Place the code above the $data array deceleration which is above the line “$insert_id = wp_insert_post($data);”.

Chandan – that seems to have worked – will monitor longer RTs to be sure but hopefully that is it. Thank you very much.

Using this code then RT links do not get “linkified”.

Can we get a proper fix for this?

As far as I’m concerned, this is not yet resolved.

Hey Joshuaiz,

Sorry for delayed reply, Yes links will get removed, if you place this code just above the wp_insert_post() arguments.

It is overriding the code we have used to make links under tweet text variable. Please place this code:

$tweet_text = $tweet->text;
if($tweet->retweeted_status){
   $tweet_text = "RT @" . $tweet->retweeted_status->user->name . ": " . $tweet->retweeted_status->text;
}
$tweet_text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $tweet_text);

In place of (code line number 229):

$tweet_text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $tweet->text);

I have tested this on my system. It works.

Thanks for this ??
