Tweet Sheet: attach image using attribute/table cell value broken?
Hey guys + girls,
Have spent a fair bit of time researching this and testing numerous combinations through adhoc. Have got to say the new web publishing has been fantastic in speeding this along. So the problem is, apart from typing the image name directly e.g. 'monkey' into the image field of the tweet sheet behaviour; no image gets attached if you refer to 'monkey' through an attribute or table cell value.
Putting an attribute into the image field, makes the tweet sheet behaviour not activate at all when pressing the button with the behaviour. Putting the attribute within quotes "" activates the tweet sheet behaviour but no image attaches. The same with tablecellvalue, whether you're referencing the row+column directly, or dynamically with an attribute.
There seems to have been problems in the past from this old thread: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/43120/twitter-behavior-dont-post-image
While the cookbook http://cookbook.gamesalad.com/tutorials/6/parts/34 says the image can be referenced in an attribute, tablecellvalue or concatenated expression. Anyone had any success?
@SaladStraightShooter can we get an official response on this? I'm not pushing for this to be fixed right now as I understand there are other priorities (although it is a feature that should be working), but it would be good to be in the know at least, so that I can stop spending unnecessary time trying to figure out a way around.
On the side, the tweet sheet behaviour is supposed to come with automated URL generation for the app - this doesn't seem to be working either which is a shame and would have been quite valuable, particularly in apps where tweets might be common.
Thanks for any info.
Edit: I forgot to add I'm using the latest creator 0.10.0, but same thing on 0.9.94 just prior

GS support have reproduced the same - it's a bug. As to the automated URL generation, it was mentioned that it may only appear in a live app, though I cannot confirm as I have no live apps with tweetsheet due to the bug. Not sure where this lies on the list of fixes at the moment...
No probs!
The annoying prompt kept popping up so I had to accept an answer. Not sure if there is any other way to get rid of the prompt and mark the thread as answered
