Tweeting workflow about autoshare-for-twitter HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah, I really had a hay-day trying to find where to edit the tweet before publishing... and even started debugging to see if there were issues created by 5.6. 🤣

Rather than adding this as a document panel, it could also exist as a plugin Sidebar (much like Yoast) that a user can get to with a few quick clicks (or even set as a favorite, if it is used a lot).

@jeffpaul Can this issue be further broken down so that PRs raised are smaller? I would like to pick this up.

from autoshare-for-twitter.

@Sidsector9 yes, should certainly be handled in various PRs based on sub-set of the overall checklist of items in the issue description. Let me know if you have a sub-set of items in mind or would like me to look at breaking the larger checklist into groups.

@jeffpaul @Sidsector9 I think we can break this into these smaller tasks. Please let me know your thoughts on this, if looks good to you. I will create issue for each.

1. Add AutoTweet panel (Slotfill) for enable/disable tweet on publish and add colour-coded icons Pre-Publish Panel title (#176)

• Own standard slotfill, with default icon
• If Tweeting is disabled, show but disable controls
• Label updates when enabled to say what it will do
• Icon changes active state too, so that status can be seen (and read too) even if the slotfill is closed
• State what the action will be, and use appropriate icon colour coding
• Message controls available in open state
• Disabled state copy and icon updated

2. Improve edit Tweet message. (#178)

• Full Tweet message is always shown - enabling different editors to edit the message before (or after) publishing
• Short warning when message getting long
• Error when message is too long
• Set max character for the text area, so that people can't enter longer Tweets

3. Add functionality for add/remove featured image from tweet (#179)

• Include featured image if specified
• If there is a featured image specified show the same thumbnail as the "Featured Image" area
• Remove featured image from Tweet
• If featured image was removed but still exists - it can be enabled again
• Show current featured image with 10% opacity underneath to know what the featured image is

4. [Post-Publish Panel] Tweet status improvements (#180)

• Tweeted status shows date/time and link to the Tweet
• Post publishing state and icon set appropriately
• If a post has been Tweeted multiple times, the Tweet entries will stack

5. [Post-Publish Panel] Add "Tweet now" functionality. (#181)

• A post can be Tweeted multiple times after publishing - even by a different editor
• Tweet now will expose controls and allow instant Tweeting
• Message and settings should persist to allow multi-editor or dedicated social media person workflow

6. Handle re-tweet in case of post has been switched back to Draft from Published, and has already been Tweeted (#182)

• Edge-ish case when Post has been switched back to Draft from Published, and has already been Tweeted

Thanks.
