A thorny subject perhaps but when I create a new topic and choose to 'share with Twitter' would it be possible to add an optional hashtag?

Currently, when it arrives at Twitter it's a simple topic title and link but Twitter users would understand the benefit of adding a hashtag.

Just to be clear, I'm referring to the socialSharePostStrip template. If that could include a small text input box for adding a hashtag to the topic title and link, that would be a real plus - for me at least :smile:

EDIT: Actually, perhaps this should simply be a mod request.

All those views and not one reply? Wow.

Yes, this is something that's come up before. I might be able to squeeze in a setting for IPB 3.4.

Thanks Matt. Both for the reply and the potential squeezing in.

This has now been implemented.

That's great! Thank you.

If it was implemented I'm just not seeing it >_<

me neither, unless its so simple its flying over my head LOL

ACP Social Media ans Sharing settings in the twitter connect area.

thats default though, does not allow member to choose a tag.

what I was thinking was member could somewheres type #hashtag and it would work but in testing (very little testing) it didn't seem to.

In the Twitter connect settings theres a Twitter Default Hashtag option, I assume what you enter there will be added to any tweets.

ACP - System Settings - System - Social Media & Sharing.

Ah poop, you're right.

What I had in mind when I posted this request was a little box to input a variable hashtag each time I shared a topic... not a default, always-the-same hashtag :(

I don't understand... If you want to enter a different hashtag each time why not simply add it to the twit once you get to the twitter publication page?

like that.

Ahhh... For example user abc picks his hashtag to be "#pickles". And from then on all his twit shares appear automatically with #pickles (until they change it again).

Got it.

I myself don't find it super useful but apparently some people do so I will get out of here. :)

no, say I tweeted this particular post here and wanted to add hashtag of #invision-broke-twitter it should, in my opinion, only apply to that one particular tweet.

so of course when anyone looked at hashtag of #invision-broke-twitter my tweet to this post should show there.

and it very well may, I only ran a few quick tests so I cannot say for sure it doesn't.

Clicking the tweet button at the bottom of this post opens up twitter in a new browser tab. I can enter any hashtags there if I want to.

do they actually work though?

that was what I was saying, they never showed under the hashtag in twitter

They don't work. I have a default hashtag set but it isn't automatically added to my tweets.
