incomplete twitt is inserted to the DB

this happens when the plugin add the “RT @someuser”

Confirmed.

I can’t work out where the truncation of the text is happening… I’ve gone over the code, can’t find a reference to when the ellipsis is added to the tweet text, can’t find anywhere where the maximum length of the tweet entry is set nor where ‘RT @someuser’ is added either.

Right

The problem is with the handling of the JSON being returned by Twitter – if native retweet is being used then the responses contains the truncated version with the addition of ‘RT @someuser’ and later contains the original tweet text:

{...
"retweeted_status":
     {"created_at":"Thu Dec 27 16:XX:XX +0000 2012",
      "id":2843313239743XXX,
      "id_str":"2843313239743XXXXX",
      "text":"This is where the full and complete text of the original tweet is.............",
      "source":"web",
      "truncated":false,"
      ...
      }
}

Busy for now but will look at whether this can be fixed…

I am having this exact same problem. All of the tweets that I want to publish on wordpress are retweets. All of the long tweets are rendered unusable because the posts are truncated. Has a solution been found?

This patch fixes the problem for me.
