Extending the Twitter button

[Pieter]

Hello,

While visiting a website with a twitter button, after sharing the webpage via Twitter, I discovered the possibility to follow the accounts of the web page developers. Is it possible to extend the twitter button extension with this function?

Greets,

Pieter

Thanks for your reaction!
I found that Twitter is working with the 'data-related' key. By adding this to the code (see below), you will activate the function

Code: Select all

$html = "<a href=\"http://twitter.com/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" " .
      "data-url=\"{$link}\" data-text=\"{$text}\" data-count=\"{$button}\"[b] data-related=\"Name - Input for generating relatings\"[/b] data-via=\"{$username}\">" .
      "{$label}</a><script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\"></script>";

However, I'm not able to add a function to the dashboard to manually enter the related accounts without browsing through the source code

The twitterbutton does this already, right?

Code: Select all

[[ twitterbutton text="Post on Twitter" link="http://example.org" username="example" ]]

The 'username' adds the 'via @bladibla' to the posted tweet..

Not at all..
What I mean is this:



The second screen is established by adding 'data-related:name, keywords' to the link..
