Twitter URL shortening issue

Hi there,

My setup:
1. CE4 Gallery, CE4 Auto Index, CE4 Pages, CE4 Stage, and CE4 Publisher
2. I have created required templates for Gallery, Auto Index and Stage, and use Publisher to push out the albums to my website - http://rajivkhanna.photography/
3. I have set up URL shortening in all my templates, specifying my Bit.ly username and API key, and have enabled display of Share Buttons on my website pages

While testing the website, I notice that short URLs do get generated when I press the "Tweet" share button on a gallery grid. Example - http://rajiv.ph/1yp5nxo

However, if I press the Tweet icon in the Highslide slideshow, it still generates the full URL. I am referring to the small Sharing buttons shown at the bottom of the slideshow picture to the left of Map and Permalink buttons.

It would be nice if short URLs could be generated in this mode too, since tweets at an individual image level are likely more meaningful than to tweet an entire page.

Any comments and suggestions welcome.

Thank you,

Rajiv

Re: Twitter URL shortening issue

Hi Ben and/or Matthew, anything on this?
Would love to have tweet action for an image in slideshow mode generate short URLs, similar to the page level share buttons. Can I request any inputs you may have on this?

Not sure whether I should have posted it in the Gallery forum or here. Since I use Publisher to push out all my albums, I decided to post here. Let me know if it belongs in the Gallery forum instead.

Thanks in advance,

Rajiv

Re: Twitter URL shortening issue

The URL shortening script only works when sharing the current page.
