How to copy Tweet instead of Retweeting?

Post by rhoff »

Hi Martin!

I'm looking to search for tweets, copy them and then tweet them as my own (instead of retweeting them or replying).

I noticed that in this 'Search and Tweet Reply' module, there is a checkbox that says "Reply to tweet (unchecked copy tweet)". So I tried leaving the box unchecked, but when I try to start the action, it is asking me to add tweets before sending to the processor.

Am I missing something in my settings?

Thank you very much in advance, any guidance would be greatly appreciated :D

That is the function you want to use. I'll have to look into it as to why it's asking for additional content, could be a bug crept it

Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

Confirmed it's broken. Don't know why. Testing > fixing now. Not expected to be difficult, probably some setting is just missed switching it to COPY_MODE.

Ok so it seems like the COPY TWEET code *WAS* expecting you to add some text, which would be added below the original tweet. So you could add extra tags / mentions whatever.

But removed that now and confirmed is all working.


I will build this update later today. I have a bout a million other support posts to go through and updates to make, so it might be a while before the build, but I will (hopefully maybe almost certainly definitely) build today :-)



Regards,
Martin

Thank you very much, works great!
How can I ensure it only copies text tweets? (Don't want to copy tweets that contain images)

Is there a FILTER option? If not let me know

Hi Martin and thanks for your reply - There's no FILTER option for text only tweets in the 'Search and Tweet Reply/Comment' Module
