TweetThis Shortcode

I could not find a simple plugin that enabled me to wrap a portion of text on a shortcode that would enable me to publish a link to automatically tweet the quote. So, we built one. There are not many features to the plugin currently. You can set your Twitter name to always include it in every Tweet and optionally use the Bit.ly API to shorten your URL.

Obtain your credentials from Bit.ly from your Advanced Settings page. If you do not use Bit.ly, the plugin will default to Twitter to shorten the link.

Hashtags can be used within the content or within a variable within the tweetthis shortcode.

Utilizes the Web Intent URL

Usage:

• [tweetthis]Fantastic shortcode #plugin to automatically populate a tweet![/tweetthis]
• [tweetthis hashtag=”wordpress”]Fantastic shortcode plugin to automatically populate a tweet![/tweetthis]
• [tweetthis hashtag=”wordpress plugin”]Fantastic shortcode plugin to automatically populate a tweet![/tweetthis]

You can view the result of this Tweet on my TweetThis Shortcode article.
