Feature Request: Different Post Content Per Post Type

[Scyoni]

What

Currently we have 1 box to enter post content which is used for all post types. It would be nice if we could have 1 box per active post type to customize the contents of fediverse posts based on the type of wordpress post.

Why

My blog has 3 primary types of posts: Regular blog posts (title, content, extras) Art posts (content, title, extras) and microposts (content) - these are all best presented in different ways, but presently I have to use the regular blog format for all of them when they federate.

How

Hey @Scyoni 👋

thanks for your recommendation, but the template system is a legacy feature and will no longer be improved. When you give me some more insights about your custom post types, I will see if I can tweak the plugin, so that the default might work for you already.

Hi there!

I tried for broad appeal when I posted the feature request, but the main sticking point for me is just that I don't want my microposts to show up with titles. They're like Tweets and don't have a title by default, but the plugin assigns the first several words as the title (I think for the url slug?) and so when the posts federate they show up with a truncated version of the post text in bold, and then the regular post text. Not a great reading experience.

Edit: I'm using the Microposts Plugin if that helps at all

I will think about it a bit! (I am always happy to improve the automatic handling, thanks for your feedback)!
