I would love to see your modification. I’m glad you like it.

After figuring out what “press this” was and reviewing the method that I was checking to see if the post was a page, I have since updated the method and Bird Feeder now works with “press this” as of ver 1.2.1

What is the “press this” browser link?

Currently Bird Feeder tweets if the following conditions are met:

If a post is new and gets published.
If a post is a draft and gets published.
If a post is set to a future date and then on that date gets published. If a post is pending and gets published.
And the post must not be a page.

You are right the docs really suck on this subject. I’ve only figured this out by trial and error.

To cover all 3 of your cases you’ll probably want:

add_action(‘future_to_publish’,’function_name’);
add_action(‘new_to_publish’,’function_name’);
add_action(‘draft_to_publish’,’function_name’);

Something else about this method is from what I can tell it applies to both posts and pages.
I’ve found publish_post to be more annoying then helpful. There really ought to be a hook for just new publishes and one for edits.

used:

new_to_publish

To resolve the issue I was having. This state WAS NOT documented in the WP docs. LAME.

@jeckman no you’ll probably want something like this:

add_action('future_to_publish', 'function_name');

Thanks Robert! If you have any issues with it let me know.

To get this to work open up comment-template.php find the comment_popup_link function and then look for

if ( is_single() || is_page() )

replace it with

if ( is_single() )

This will allow you to use the comment_popup_link() function on “pages”. One more thing I had to hack to get wordpress to work as a decent CMS…
