So, I’ve long been a proponent of free software and the like, but I’ve never been much able to contribute back, as far as software goes. Until now!
Last week, I made a wordpress plugin that turns any twitter style name into a link, automatically! For example: @rachelskirts @jacefuse @thursdayschild
See? Automatically linked. If you’re interested in said plugin, you can check it out over on its page at Wordpress. Twitterlinker is the name.
Enjoy! Comments are surely welcome. If you use it, drop me a line as well!
This is genius.
@grendelt is my twitter
seven: Thanks!
Tommy: It doesn’t work in comments just yet. I’m trying to figure out which hook does comment text, but it will work soon. It’ll also work in archives soon, too.
Hi, I’m a user of your twitterlinker plugin. I noticed however that it causes my rss2 feed to become invalid. This is because blanklines are inserted in the feed XML before the first line. The reason is blanklines between your php calls (before . Removing these blank lines solves it. This is easy to fix in your next release. Mind you, it was a hassle to find which of the plugins was causing this…. Thanks for the fix…
