Hi Brendan and the rest of the community,
Could someone suggest a simple script for creating a hashtag out of a blog keyword?
I have a file that is connected to my social media file planner. The purpose of the script is to automatically write a hashtag from a keyword. Both will appear in the editorial theme file which I will then copy and paste into wherever they belong. The keyword would be copied into Yoast for my WordPress blog , the hashtag would be copied into Instagram,Twitter or Facebook.
i.e. Keyword = Mannheim; The result of the script should be #Mannheim
I realize I could just use copy and paste from the keyword line in the file into the hashtag line. But it would be timesaving to automate that. Unfortunately I don’t know how to write scripts.
Would somebody help me, please? Thanks.
Kimberley
Hi Kimberly,
You can also do something like this with a Calculation field or a Script field. It’s up to you.
But in a Calculation field, the formula would simply be:
"#" + Keyword
Set the formula to return Text.
Then in your Calculation field you’ll get #Keyword as the result, where the value of Keyword is whatever is in the Keyword field.
Give that a try and if you’d prefer a script, let me know.
Thanks, Brendan. The simplest way to Rome is the best. It worked after I realized I had to put the hashtag symbol between quotation marks. (Your answer came in through my eMail program and my brain functions haven’t finished their coffee yet).
Have a great weekend.
Regards,
Kimberley
