Dont know if this was still a problem in the previous version of the script, but just updated after having installed the script a few days ago...

The problem is with the RT button. Status updates fine, but the RTs are not 'in reply to' who ever I was retweeting.

The RT link seems to be fine, it has '&in_reply_to_status_id=...' and '&in_reply_to=...' ... not quite sure what it is.

Anyone else having this issue?

FF3.0.10, winXP

OH, i've noticed that if you take out the 'RT ' before the @username, it properly replys to the status update that you are retweeting ...

Yeah, that's because if you remove RT ir becomes a simple reply. Actually I don't see how RT should be a reply. RT is RT period. The author can see your retweet in mentions tab anyway.

The retweet should be set in the following: @username RT: blah blah ... not RT @username blah ... in order for RTs to be replys.

And it might not be about the author, but a reader following a thread of tweets. Maybe I want to find out which status was in reply to which etc. It just feels more logical to have RT's linked.

Only takes small edits:

tweet_add_retweet_button:function($tweet)
{
if( !tnt_twitter.can('add_retweet_button') ) return;

$reply_btn = $tweet.find('.actions:first .reply:first');
if( $reply_btn.length != 1 ) return;

$retweet_btn = $reply_btn.clone();
$retweet_btn.attr('title','retweet this').removeClass('reply').text('RT')
.css({
background:'#C3C3C3',
color:'#fff',
padding:'2px',
display:'inline'
});

var user = tnt_twitter.user_from_tweet($tweet);

var link = $retweet_btn.attr('href');
link = link.split('&')
var content = $tweet.find('.entry-content:first,.msgtxt:first').text();
link[0] = '/home?status='+encodeURIComponent('@'+user+' RT: '+ content.replace("\n",'','g') )
link = link.join('&');
$retweet_btn.attr('href',link);
$reply_btn.after($retweet_btn);

var $s = $('#status');
if( $s.length == 1 && $s.is(':visible') )
$retweet_btn.click(function(){
var $s = $('#status');
$s.val('');
$(this).siblings('.reply:first').trigger('click');
$s.val($s.val() + 'RT: ' + content);
$s.blur().focus();
return false;
});
},
