Very helpful post man, thanks for the info.
how can i provide the file description or title in the tweet
i mean how can i generate a fn like this :
if (isset($shortcode['attachment']->file_path)) {
$template = str_replace(‘[message]‘, ‘‘ . htmlentities(” . basename($shortcode['attachment']->file_path) . ”, ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8′) . ‘‘, $template);
} else {
$template = str_replace(‘[message]‘, htmlentities(‘You are about to view hidden content on this page.’, ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8′), $template);
}
