Publicize: Add custom templates

[kraftbj]

We could add an additional option under Settings > Sharing, allowing you to customize all Publicize excerpts at once, with the use of template tags, like we do today for custom services in Sharedaddy.

Here are a few examples:

• Custom Text, like "New Post:" before the post title
• Tags added as hashtags for Twitter and Facebook
• We could do this with an interface similar to the old YOURLS plugin: http://i.wpne.ws/LFEe/content

Having this would be amazing!

Perhaps a "main" setting with 2 check boxes:

Would you like publicize to add these to your Twitter posts?
☐ Categories
☒ Tags

Then the same for Tumblr and Facebook as well.

I would LOVE to be able to add automatic hashtags for my publicized posts (for example, always have my posts include #something). Any chance of getting this to happen in the near future?

Thanks!

In sharing settings, you should be able to put a collection of words in the twitter section that it should pattern match against in the title of the article and simply add a hash to the beginning of the word if it finds it in the title. Generally people are writing in common themes, this would go some way to automating the action of pushing a post out.

The other option you've mentioned above would also be great.

Here is a temporary solution for this issue, i hope that Automattic guys add this functionality to the plugin, but meanwhile we are working on a better solution. http://outbc.co/1oSyIdu

@JuliusDoom The solution on that post is changing core WordPress files, something outside of our scope and not recommended.

@kraftbj As i said, this is temporary solution, but some guys really need this functionallity.

[paulsto]

I already fudged something like this, but the scope is very limited in terms of how you can post.

I’ve ended up buying a subscription for dlvr.it for the time being. That is definitely the gold standard for how to “publicize” content… It turns any tags it finds (up to a configurable maximum) and post categories, into hashtags.

Note that not all on that VIP link applies to Jetpack per Partnerships.
