Conform to the Developer Display Requirements when linking usernames #93

Closed jalada closed 11 years ago

jalada commented 11 years ago

The Developer Display Requirements state (in a roundabout way) that the "@" symbol and the username must link to the Twitter profile (not just the username), but autolink only links the username, not the @ symbol as well.

Background: We're trying to get Site Streams access and this was raised as an issue via email.

Is this what you needed? twttr.txt.autoLink('@asdf', { usernameIncludeSymbol: true })

You can quickly test this in the javascript console on tweetdeck

Thanks, looks like that's it; was hard to spot at first glance.

Thanks for pointing out the style guide - maybe this should be default now.
