URL in Share Screens

Just to give you a heads up, when attempting to put a preloaded URL into any of the share screens, it will generate a parse error in the app.

These are the heads up we need. I'm a bit confused about the issue. What's a pre-loaded URL? Sounds like an easy fix but I'm not sure where to look ;-)

When placing a URL into the default text to send in an SMS/email/tweet/FB.

OK.. I just entered a URL in the control panel on a Share on Facebook screen, no errors. Does the Control Panel error or does the application error? Or, maybe you've got a funky URL. lol. Post the URL here maybe?

The application errors. And actually, I noticed that it was when a carriage return was entered into those fields that the parse error showed up. It just coincided with a URL being entered there. I notice that on 1.4, the note is there for not entering a carriage return but not in 1.5. I guess that note should show up there too. On a side note, why can't a carriage return be entered there?

Got it. Twitter and Facebook 'yell' when posting carriage returns to their API's. There are ways around it but with 140 chars it's usually best just to avoid them. We'll get the control panel to remove them auto-magically. Good catch.
