Need to Format Twitter Posts

This is what our Twitter posts currently look like:

This is what others Twitter posts look like:

This is what we would want our Twitter posts to look like:


I have been reading everything you have and I am still not sure how to accomplish this, maybe I just haven't read enough yet, but if you can guide me to the bulls eye, that would once again, be awesome. This would be using the same images I have designated for the {SCOpenGraph image=...} tags.

Thanks Alex, will do. I have to give your component rave reviews on the JED again, will tend to that today as well.

The additional issue is that I want to use 911to.org/release-the-28-pages, where the original URL looks like this www.911truthoutreach.org/557-news-releas...-114th-congress.html. 911to.org gets converted to www.911truthoutreach.org when it hits the LAMP 7 server through the APACHE .htaccess file through a regex redirect and the rest of the link gets converted into it full Joomla path for the article through another regex redirect. The only thing I need to know is how to substitute that for the original Joomla path when sending the info to Twitter?

Sounds to me like I will have to add another tag to each article.

Another issue is that connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js is taking 1.39 seconds to load. Can't I just copy this and save it as facebook/connect/en_GB/sdk.js and then have JFBConnect grab this rather than going over the net to get it?

This is what the Twitter Validator Returned:



I want the image to be the full width of the content box. I will look at settings in Twitter to see if there is something I need to set there.

OK, that did the trick, now how do I make this into a template override, so it doesn't get over written on update?



And one more thing how to I get JFBConnect to transmit the link 911to.org/release-the-28-pages instead of www.911truthoutreach.org/557-news-releas...-114th-congress.html.

So the issue becomes, how do I change:
to

Even though the underlying URL used by Twitter is something like t.co/dJdjwLbULw, Twitter still tries to display the full URL, www.911truthoutreach.org/557-news-releas...-114th-congress.html, which gets truncated. It would be better if Twitter would display 911to.org/release-the-28-pages/ which would look better in Facebook as well.

So do you have a tag I can add to articles that will let me override the Joomla URL for the article? Would you recommend that I use the Joomla Redirect manager for creating the short URLS or .htaccess? I like .htaccess because it is very easy to edit a text file.

Having a Short title in Twitter would also be an advantage, how would I force JFBConnect to set the following on a per content item basis

Also is this the way I would embed a Twitter Share Button in an article?

OK, didn't quite do the trick:

How do I get our posts to twitter to be opened by default like the post below AE911Truth?
