Tweetmeme retweet button
-
Hey people, I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me why the Tweetmeme retweet button (simple a tag HTML code) won’t work on my blog … any ideas?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/04/06/tweetmeme-button/ uses javascript, which is not permitted at WordPress.com for security purposes – http://support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript
Is the button you are trying to use?
-
We would need to see the code (paste it here in the forums between backticks ( ` ) on the same key as the ~ .
If the code is not working, it is probably not “simple” HTML, but javascript or an iframe or something like that.

Here you go guys: Looks like simple HTML to me: (http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/07/15/feed-buttons/)
”><img src=http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=<url> height=”61″ width=”51″ />
<img src=http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=<url> height=”61″ width=”51″ />
-
This is the code in the a tag: ”><img src=http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=<url> height=”61″ width=”51″ />
-
OK … for some reason, the a tag won’t copy in correctly, which I think is my point. If you want to see what I’m talking about, take a look at the tweetmeme page: http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/07/15/feed-buttons/

You have to put the code between backticks here in the forum or it will be interpreted. The backtick ( ` ) is on the key with the ~ .

Well, here is the code. Still looks pretty straightforward to me. What am I missing:
<a href=”http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=<url>”><img src=http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=<url> height="61" width="51" /></a> -
That code is b0rked entirely. You need to head back over there and get the code again. It has to do with character encoding.
-
I’ve sort of figured it out, but their code is using something other than UTF-8 encoding (the web standard and it is messing things up.
-
OK, I’ve gone through and repaired their code and this seems to work fine. You need to replace the two instances of
<url>with your twitter URL ( http://twitter.com/username ).<a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=<url>"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=<url>" alt="" width="51" height="61" /></a> -

Wow!
You are a genius! I tried to figure that one out, but it was a roof: over my head!! -
Thanks. All the symbols kept getting turned into %g3 or something similar which is what tipped me off to it not being UTF-8 character encoding.
I went into the HTML tab and just typed it all out. I discovered the
<url>thing when I was on the tweetmeme web page where the code was. It mentioned that at the top of that page.I’m still confused as to why they would post b0rked code like that though.

Hi,
Its not working! Its never directed me to Twitter page.
I did:
What I am missing?
Thank You!
-
You have to replace the
<url>brackets and all with your URL, and twitter does not have www in their URL. Paste the code you used here between backticks ( ` ) which is the key with the ~ on it typically to the left of the #1 key. Make sure there is a backtick before the code and a backtick after the code so that it will appear here correctly. -

Hope that what you want:
<a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http://twitter.com/BrandMyCareer"><img class="alignright" src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http://twitter.com/BrandMyCareer" alt="" width="51" height="61" /></a> -
The code is fine, and I’m getting the same “RT… ” stuff when I do it. I just tested it by deleting that stuff from the text box and putting a test tweet in and it worked.
I’m thinking there is something going on with their code, or perhaps they need to modify it to make it work better. It is really quite clunky at the moment.
In case you are not aware, wordpress has a twitter widget now: http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-widget/ .
