As you may have heard, Twitter has come out with its official Tweet button that can be added to websites. Modemlooper has created a plugin for BuddyPress that will automatically add the tweet button to your BuddyPress activity stream items and blog posts. It’s a great plugin and everything works, except the link that it tweets out is the page that you’re on, not the actual activity permalink. So, I fixed this one issue and am offering it for download here until it’s updated at its location at the WordPress repository. Thanks Modemlooper for all your work on this fantastic plugin!

If you’re curious about how the Tweet button works, check it out in the video below:
*Update: The plugin has been updated with the changes suggested and now you can get it at the WP repo by clicking the download link above.
Thanks Sarah! I updated the repo and changed it a bit. Your added code was putting activity link onto the forum topics. Created a separate function for topics.

modemlooper – Thanks! I updated the download link to point to the repo. :)
Yeah teamwork! Now to add some admin options and perhaps include facebook likes :P
Nice. Maybe you can add Google Buzz too while you’re at it ;) http://wpmu.org/add-a-google-buzz-button-to-buddypress-activities-in-under-a-minute/
It would be cool to be able to to turn the filters on and off based on the site owners preferences.
Hmm, A share button that drops down and has options for various sharing services? My main problem with so many buttons is placement.
Yes! Drop down share for BP activity stream would be awesome. I could see it being installed on nearly every BP site.
Does this button only go on the blog or can it also go on the buddypress pages for activity, groups, forum, members, etc entries?
