AutotweetNG 1.0Beta2
AutotweetNG Content Plugin

Hi there, I have a question in regards to the option in the AutotweetNG content plugin "Show Section/Category as a hashtag.

Here is what I got using this option:

#News/#Energy: Province Welcomes Strengthened Tidal Program bit.ly/3qZqAt

Now, I have two questions.

1. Will there be an option to NOT use the section in the future, or, optionally use just the Category?

2. In twitter, the above tweet utilizes the "use the section/category as hashtag" - now, the section, which came out as #news, is clickable in the actual tweet in twitter, but, the cat - #energy is not, and this is more than likely because there is no space before it? (/#Energy:)?

- as well, what kind of effect, if any, will the : after the category used as a hashtag have also?

Hello scotia,

thank you for this feedback. I have implemented this feature 'on the fly' for the new version to get some experiences. So it is a little bit experimental.

> Will there be an option to NOT use the section in the future, or, optionally use just the Category?

This is a good idea. I will add this for the stable version.

> ...but, the cat - #energy is not, ...
You're right. - That's a bug.

Also I'm not sure what's the best option for this:
- Replace the "/" by a space, when both (cat/sec) are used as hastags and remove the ":"?
- What do you think?

I think your idea of utilizing the section/cat as a hashtag is brilliant... not to mention I think I saw an option to use keywords for hashtags? - I will be testing that out too, but need to know more about it...

Yap, replacing the / with a space and removal of the : should work out for the hashtags to work - I'm thinking too. Section is good to have don't get me wrong... just at the moment, for the most part, my tweets are coming from my news page - so, my sections are only: traffic advisories, weather advisories, News, etc.... So I don't think I really need a hashtaged #news on every tweet... as well, I might look into the other neat option you put there for utilizing keywords for hashtag's - is there a way to set how many are taken, and, would it be the first set few used?

EDIT: Wanted to also say that it might also be a good idea to allow an option for putting the section/category hashtags at the end of the tweet before the static one, like the option for the static hashtag.

Thanks for the quick response BTW... nice to see this moving along so quickly! and thanks again for the awesome component system for twitter.. you rock!

Just wanted to let you know that I found another slight bug, if you want to call it that... My categories are mostly "more than one word" - so, this creates another issue with the hashtag lol - Department of Education for example would become (#department) of education...

I am going to have to scrap the hashtagged cats for now I guess

Ok, i will do some changes for the next versions and i hope that i can implement your suggestions: First i will release a new version of the component with some fixes for the hashtags (I hope to do this in the next week). Next new versions of the plugins will come with enhanced hashtag features.

greetings
