Ampersand in article title is translated to "& a m p ;" when tweeted was created by scochi

My configuration automatically tweets new articles. As a test, I saved a (K2) article with the title "Testing social rebroadcast. Are we tweeting & posting to Facebook?". The tweet which resulted had the text "Testing social rebroadcast. Are we tweeting & posting to Facebook?" The attached screen shot shows the resulting tweet.

How can this be resolved?

This will involve a code change. I have a quick workaround for you.

In /libraries/sourcecoast/openGraphPlugin.php, around line 505, replace this line

$message = $this->getAutopostMessage($objectType, $articleId);

with

$message = htmlspecialchars_decode($this->getAutopostMessage($objectType, $articleId));

It's only been tested minimally, so please tell me if any new problems arise. I will add an issue to the tracker to add this in our next release.

First, many thanks for the rapid response. Second, the code change has been installed and seems to be working as it should. I'll revert back to you if there are any issues.
