"Quick Edit" turns off autopost #29

Closed edent closed 2 years ago

Love the plugin. Small glitch with scheduled posts.

  1. Create a new post
  2. Schedule the post for a future date
  3. On the Scheduled Posts page, click "Quick Edit"
  4. Change the date to later
  5. Click save

The post will not auto-share to Mastodon.

Happy to provide more details if necessary.

Interesting. I never actually tried it with scheduled posts. :-S

Do you happen to know if the _share_on_mastodon meta field gets set when the post is first saved/scheduled? (It should be '1', at least if the meta box checkbox was checked.) Because the "Quick Edit" function should leave that one untouched (unless it doesn't, somehow).

The checkbox is checked after using "quick edit". I'll see if I can find the meta field in the DB.

Ah! The problem is that my original post was scheduled before I installed this plugin.

So I need to go in and edit my previously written posts in order to get them shared.

Thanks for the swift response.

Perfect!

Yeah, so it won't syndicate the post if the meta field isn't there (unless you use the share_on_mastodon_enabled, I think it was, filter, which is the probably way to go when posting from, e.g., a mobile app---another solution would be to set the custom field through another hook/callback).
