WordPress plugin: WP @Twitter
This isn't the plugin that I've been raving about building for the past week or so but just a plugin I thought about and wrote in my lunch hour today. So just hold out a little longer before I release my first full blown WordPress plugin. Anyways, read on and download the plugin, it makes my life slightly easier so...
What does it do
It allows you to type '[@username]' in your WordPress posts or comnents to reference a user on Twitter. So if you typed [@BenjaminReid] into your post it would output:
@BenjaminReid
Installation
Download and extract the zip file and upload wp-at-twitter.php into /wp-content/plugins/ and then just hit activate in your plugin admin area.

It isn’t active hear at the moment and it doesn’t work on comments. I’ll try that out!

It now works in comments, I’ve changed it slightly though.
You have to type:
[@BenjaminReid]
To get @BenjaminReid

Will users have to use ‘[ ]‘ on our website comment function? I doubt they’ll remember that each time.

I can change it so they don’t have to use ‘[]‘ but it would mess up email addresses. If I have time to work on the regex that it uses you wouldn’t have either problem.
