marklcfc Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 I believe this has been asked for before, but really need to be able to make twitter posts like this with a picture, so they can link back to the forum like this?
marklcfc Posted November 28, 2018 Author Posted November 28, 2018 I knew I'd seen something before, I think I didn't go for it because I'd prefer to upload it manually / be able to choose which photo I'd like to show, we don't always have uploaded photos in posts.
opentype Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 But anyone can create topics and tweet links to topics. Who should take care of the image? Should everyone just upload an image in case it gets tweeted later on? Or should the admin go through every single topic and add images? None of these options sound convincing. And Twitter doesn’t offer an image choice, so that’s also not something that could be supported from IPS’ side.
marklcfc Posted November 28, 2018 Author Posted November 28, 2018 I'd choose the image as I'm sharing it via the forums twitter account, it would only be specific topics that are shared via twitter. I suppose what I'm hoping for is the option to be able to set the share image for a certain topic, without it being in the posts itself.

By this definition you’ll want to take a look at our Social Media Promotion feature. It will allow you to promote to your community’s Twitter account and allow adding an image, text, etc... e
Day_ Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Seen this request before and once again I beg of the devs to listen to our pleas. As a fellow football forum owner, this would be huge for us. One of the reasons I’ve stopped using the Promote feature is the uploaded image is not embedded into the card as shown above. Looks much more tidy and clickable than an image with a raw link which currently happens. Without an image uploaded you get the card format but with the default OG image, but users become blind to them over time and scroll past without reading, having that unique image can grab your attention and lure the click. I don’t fancy having to edit each topic and include a photo in to then tweet, I get it’s practically the same thing, but if this was included in the Promote section it would be much easier and make sense. Please IPS, I’m your biggest fan in my house, honour this request and you will have my love for years to come. 3 minutes ago, Jim M said: By this definition you’ll want to take a look at our Social Media Promotion feature.

What we would like is for that image to be embedded into the card as shown in the opening post. The nice little border, sexual curves on the photo, with a line from the opening post underneath in a cute little box and the tweet you write shown above.
