[Plugin: YOURLS: WordPress to Twitter] How do I post excert using %F{} ?

anyone?

I’m trying to use YOURLS to Twitter (WordPress plugin) to output the excerpt.

The plugin’s instructions suggest

%F{something}: custom post field ‘something’. See get_post_meta().

WordPress informs

<?php $meta_values = get_post_meta($post_id, $key, $single); ?>

Where $key is a string “(required) A string containing the name of the meta value you want.”

The HTML has

<meta name="description" content="this is my excerpt" />

Where the description meta has the excerpt’s content.

I tried using

#in %F{description} %U

and got “#in bit.ly/7493d0e”. How can I get the excerpt to print? This is the php interpreting that %F

if( preg_match_all( '/%F\{([^\}]+)\}/', $tweet, $matches ) ) {
    foreach( $matches[1] as $match ) {
        $field = get_post_meta( $id, $match, true );
        $tweet = str_replace('%F{'.$match.'}', $field, $tweet);

    }
    unset( $matches );
}

For anyone wanting to do this, here is what I did to get it working. If you can improve this, feel free. I’m not a lithe PHP Developer.

I added this conditional into core.php about line 454.

if (strpos($tweet, '%E') !== false) {
            // Get post excerpt
            $post = get_post( $id );
            $post_exc = $post->post_excerpt;
            unset( $post );

            // Replace %E with post excerpt
            $tweet = str_replace('%E', $post_exc, $tweet);
        }

And, in WP, called %E in the Settings for YOURLS WordPress to Plugin Tweet message field: #in %E %U

Obviously the “#in” is there so that the Tweet posts to LinkedIn.
