Twitter auto shorten URL not working

Tags:

javascript

twitter

I am trying to add custom tweet button to my website and all is well but it is not shortening the URL. I am using URL query string instead of javascript. Is that the case?

<a class="btn btn-tweet" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?text='.$title.'&url='.$url.'&via='.$user.'&wrap_links=true">Twitter</a>

I have read some API document and saying above 19 characters twitter shorten url itself. Just wonder why it is not converting with this.

I am also having trouble to open in popup instead of new window. Does this all possible without adding any separate javascript code but directly inline in anchor tag?

I was hung up on this and realized I was trying to shorten "http://localhost:5000/blog/url" which t.co is unable to do.

Change to a real, non-localhost URL and it worked fine.
