Releases for Tweet

Differences from 6.x-4.2:

• Issue #1162254 - Tweet links no longer working after twitter.com update by IceCreamYou
• Issue #1237884 - Tweet block not working correctly on node pages. by IceCreamYou

This release is simply an update that makes the module work with New Twitter. Recent changes to New Twitter required a small change to the URL used to post new tweets. It also updates the default Twitter icon to the one that New Twitter uses.

Fixes #1048602 tweet link is not shown by Wisif (7.x bug only)

This is pretty much a straight port of Tweet 6.x-4.x, except that it also contains support for Identica (which used to require a separate module). Anyone using a version of tweet earlier than than 6.x-4.0 should first upgrade to the latest stable 6.x-4.x release before upgrading to 7.x-4.0.

Notes

• Everyone should run update.php after upgrading to this release.
• The biggest change from 3.x to 4.x is that this module can now be used with services other than Twitter, such as Identi.ca. This required API changes, hence the new branch.

Changes since 6.x-3.1

#626862 Tweet in block
Fixed accidental dependency on core Taxonomy module
#694224 Allow other twitter-clones to create links, too by dereine and IceCreamYou
#744712 Let hooks decide where the image should be

Changes from 6.x-3.0:

• Use core theme function for displaying the icon; this should remove problems with the wrong URL being used
• #497876 Patch for showing ellipsis correctly (thanks ev)
• #543676 Invalid XHTML: onClick should be onclick by kaido24
• Added ability to use arbitrary text for "Post to Twitter"
• Changed all "else if" to "elseif" in PHP files per Coder 2.x
• #618628 Hashtags pulled from taxonomy
• Updated README

This release adds two settings to the module's settings page.

The biggest change in this release is that it relies upon the Shorten URLs module to shorten the URLs that appear in Tweets. This is not a dependency, but if it is not installed, your users will see the full, long URLs in their tweets. Shorten is much more versatile at shortening URLs than Tweet was; plus, I wrote it, so you know it will be well-supported and stable. ;)

If you install Shorten before you update Tweet, your settings will be transferred when you run update.php.

This release may contain bugs, although they will probably not be show-stopping. Upgrade to this release first if you have problems with a stable release (assuming there is a newer dev release than stable release). Otherwise, you'll probably have more luck with the stable releases.

#NOISSUE: Documentation improvements.

#450096:
- Added hook to add additional URL abbreviation services.
- Added tr.im URL abbreviation service.
- Minor related cleanup.

This release builds off of 1.7, but also requires that you run update.php if upgrading from the 1.x branch.

Changes:

- Tweaks to last commit to fix overlooked bugs
- Admin can now fully customize the Tweet text

Many major changes - performance improvements and new features.

You should run update.php after upgrading to this version from 1.6 or earlier.

Among others:
- retrieved URLs are now cached, dramatically improving performance
- some code is now conditionally loaded, making the rest of the site faster
- 5 new URL abbreviation services added (for a total of 7)
- new option to choose primary and backup URL abbreviation service
- new ability to exclude certain nodes from showing the Tweet link

This release fixes bug #390802 (thanks Gef). These changes were made:

- Admin can now choose which URL abbreviating service to use (Th8.us or TinyURL).
- Admin can now choose whether to retrieve the abbreviated URL using cURL or file_get_contents().
- There is now a three-second timeout when retrieving abbreviated URLs from both services using both methods. If one service fails, the other will be tried. If both fail, the original (unshortened) URL is used.

Add a hashtag onto the node title - there is now a setting to add a suffix to tweets, allowing global #hashtags to be set.

#365483 (thanks SallySaucer):

Fixed wrong URL used on non-root installs.
Added quotes around alt tag for image.
Added an option on the settings page to specify a different (local) location of the image.
Added a title tag to the image.
Added rel="nofollow" to every Twitter link.

Somehow only the module file got included in the last release.

#353233: PHP4 incompatibility: array_combine()

Initial commit. Should be completely stable and functional.
