Twitter Favs do not archive content of the faved tweet

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Maybe I‘m mistaken (and since I worked myself through several lines of code yesterday I don‘t think so) the content of faved Tweets is not getting archived.
There is the embed-code which loads the content but there is no way to search my archive for a faved tweet.
Is this on purpose?

yep, i did that on purpose. this was my reasoning at the time:

  • i did not want the tweet-text in a wordpress post, because it’s not my data, it’ someone else’s. it’s reclaim your data, not other’s data. (nevertheless the tweet data is saved in the database, but in a custom field, containing the official embed-code.)
  • i feel comfortable displaying my own tweets with no regard to the twitter display guidelines. it's my data, so i display it as i like. i do not feel comfortable, displaying other’s tweets with no regard to the twitter display guidelines, so i use the embed code for that (my own tweets are text based articles, stripped of all t.co-links)

i’m not closing the issue yet, though i don’t see it as an error, but if you have input or other thoughts, you’re welcome to put them here.

I see. Thanks for explaining.
I changed my code to also display the raw tweet, but then this is just for me.
