Tweet This WordPress Function

Noël — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:01:30 +0000

I wanted to provide and easy way for visitors to tweet that they were reading an article on my site. At the same time, I didn’t want to slow down the page with any excess javascript. A plain link did just fine, so I wrote this little function for use in my WordPress templates.

Copy this to your theme’s functions.php and then use in your templates.

function tweet_this() { global $post; $tweet = sprintf( __('Currently reading %1$s %2$s'), $post->post_title, wp_get_shortlink() ); echo 'Tweet this'; }

Zé gets credit for the il8n tip and thanks to Westi for the wp_get_shortlink tip.

Update: for those that want a nice and pretty Tweet this button, just use some CSS like mine:
a.tweethis { background: #73A4FA; padding: 3px 7px; color: white; border-radius: 4px; } a.tweethis:hover { background: #333; }

su.pr seems to be permanently attached to my twitter account. Not only did this seemingly cool url shortening service do that, but it also started posting random things to my twitter account. Weird? Or am I missing something. Related posts:Google … Continue reading → Related posts:
