AddThis

Twitter template overriding user changes in tweets

Hi, we're using the addthis twitter button with the following template:

var addthis_share = {
templates : {
twitter: "{{title}} - {{description}} | <%=shortUrl%> (via @ClaytonUtz)"
}
}

My understanding was that the template defines default content for a tweet, but it seems that the tweet content is then set in stone. Is it possible to have a default that can be changed by the user?

You can test with the following link:

We also found that our default title and description in the tweets were too long, we've sinced fixed the default values (we trim them down now) and are testing that in a UAT environment, but we are after a way to have some default content for a tweet that can be overridden by a user, but possibly preserving our own shortened url and having the "(via @ClaytonUtz)" etc.

Thanks in advance
Chris.
