The Simple Twitter Link plugin has been updated.

First, and foremost, you can now pass various options to the URL shortening options. Secondly, a workaround is in place for a reported, known error.

Plugin error “cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode”

David Artiss — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:53:53 +0000

Today I’ve had reported to me that one of my plugins (Simple Twitter Link – but I’m sure this equally occur in others) is generating the error “cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode”. In fact, it generates it about 200 times.

The problem? Well, it’s a bug in version 4 of PHP, so there’s not much I can do about it (sorry!). It’s fixed in PHP 5, though.

One suggested solution is to force your server to use PHP 5 – many have version 5 installed, but just not set as the default. To do this simply put AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php in the first line of your .htaccess file.

I use html_entity_decode for the post title. At the moment I do this whether you ask for the title or not – I’ll make a change for the future to ONLY do this if requested. That way you can omit the title to prevent this error from occurring. This will definitely also affect Simple Social Bookmarks and Simple Facebook Link.

Simple Twitter Link now uses Simple URL Shortener and there’s also an option to override the default URL.

All 3 of my WordPress social bookmarking plugins have now been updated – Simple Social Bookmarks, Simple Twitter Link and Simple Facebook Link.

I’ve fixed a bug where certain characters (e.g. an ampersand) within the blog title can cause problems with the resultant link.
I’ve added su.pr as a URL shortening service.
