Link query string often too long about twitter-post-fetcher

[jasonmayes]

Which links are you referring to?

[M-Willett]

The alphr link in this example. You're breaking the URI into spans anyway which is useful but something like maxchar = 30 would be ideal. Otherwise, can't fault this plugin!

Having the same issue here. How can we show the twitter shortened link or limit the number of characters?

[jasonmayes]

Can anyone confirm if the shortened links are in the JSON response?

[OxyDesign]

Yes I confirm that. In the data.body for each link you have the href attr which is a https://t.co/.... and the content of the is the real link separated in several parts with classes tco-hidden, tco-display and tco-ellipsis.

Basically this classes let you hide the first and last parts of the url by using a display:none in CSS on .tco-hidden.

The issue come from the fact that your strip function removes all the classes therefore it's not possible to style the different parts of the link.

Solutions are, in my opinion, avoiding removing this specific classes or for instance adding an option in the config to replace the content of the link with the https://t.co/.... (from the href).

Let me know your thoughts about that and if you want me to amend something to fix it.

Thanks

Looking at OxyDesign's solution now. :-) Sorry for delay guys, currently in the US so limited access to github whilst on holiday etc.

This will be resolved once OxyDesign's patch goes in.
