Include rdar:// URL on Twitter and APP.NET Posting
Opened this issue · 4 comments
At present only the OpenRadar link is posted. Since the actual Radar ID needs to be retrieved for OpenRadar already, I propose to also add the rdar://problem/###### to Twitter and APP.NET to allow simple opening of the Radar app for Apple personnel.
That'd be a good one for a setting: "Include OpenRadar link", "Include rdar:// link", or "Include both". Maybe a fourth option for "Include OpenRadar if present, otherwise include rdar://", but that might be too much.
Should we have them as per-service options (separate for Twitter and ADN) or just general?
Typically I think that we will have sufficient characters on ADN and twitter to show both. Do you suppose that somebody would configure a posting service and NOT want to share a link to his efforts?
But maybe we can unify the returning of a referring link to the post somehow. In my case I could then post rdar AND openradar AND wordpress permalink. The service could return the link via a URL method and if it does then it would be included in the tweet. The author of the service could choose to return a value there or not. Optimally depending on the value of a user default.

I've never felt the need for rdar:// links myself — I doubt many Apple engineers are reading my posts, and if any of them are then they can get the radar number from the OpenRadar link. But I guess I wouldn't mind if they were displayed.
I like the idea of unifying the returning links :)
I've added a checkbox to append the rdar:// URL to App.net posts.
I haven't yet done the same for Twitter, so am leaving the issue open for now.
