Twitter Settings

ShopSite can add links to popular social networking sites that allows your customers to share their shopping experience with friends and family. This feature supports the following services by default:

Follow on Twitter

Enable 'Follow on Twitter' Button
Toggle whether or not you want Follow on Twitter functionality enabled.
Twitter Username
Provide the Twitter commercial account that customers will be following. This should be anything after the '@' symbol.
Image to use
Decide whether to use the default Twitter image or provide your own custom image.
Alt Text for the Image
This is the text that will appear when a customer hovers over the link. The text defaults to "Follow us on Twitter".

Share on Twitter

Allow link on Pages
This will place the link code on every Product page.
Allow link on More Info Pages
This will place the link code on every Product More Info page.
Use Page title or Page/Product Name
Decide whether to use the page title or a combination of the page and product name when populating the tweet.
Image to use
Decide whether to use the Tweet button, the default Twitter image, or provide your own custom image. The Tweet button will open a popup window from the Twitter website with additional options.
Alt Text for the Image
This is the text that will appear when a customer hovers over the link. The text defaults to "Share on Twitter".
Tweet Text
This is the text of the tweet that will be sent. Defaults to '[title]:[url]', which will display the title of the page or product and the url for the page or product. For example, if the title is 'Boombox' and the url is 'radioshock.com', the text would be 'Boombox: radioshock.com'.
Include Mention
This will add some text to the end to show who tweeted the original message. For example, if someone with the Twitter username of 'busybody' decides to tweet about a merchants page, "(via @busybody)" will be placed at the end of the tweet.
