Retweet option related help required

[Jani]

Hi all,

I just added an option on my forum called Retweet. I added it in the "Social Bookmark Manager".

This is the code I have there: http://twitter.com/home?status={TITLE}:{URL}

It is working absolutely fine but on the twitter page when we post the tweet it is NOT converting the URL into tinyurl or something else but just posting it as it is. It is not even making it a link.

Is there any way to say it to SHORTEN the URL?

Thanks

I have no clue why, but the exact same thing shortens the url's for for me.

Hi,
Well.. I guess when someone hits the "Update" button, it will shorten the URL. Did you see the settings?

All the best!

Actually I got it solved myself. There was a 'Space' missing in the code

First it was like this:
http://twitter.com/home?status={TITLE}:{URL}

Now it is like this:
http://twitter.com/home?status={TITLE}: {URL}

First it was posting on twitter like this: Twitter / Jahangir agha: Update your twitter status ...

Now it is working fine: Twitter / Jahangir agha: Know the date of your deat ...
