I still can't figure out the problem in Twitter sharing. I'll try tomorrow.

Did you use any code from the Twitter component?

There is an issue posted a couple of years ago.

No, it wasn't taken from that.

I saw the extensions before, I want to make my own version, so I decided to post it here.

Its good you made but i am thinking what is the use of this extension firstly that one has more blocks + its open source?

I know. I didn't look at the source code, I wanted to use this extension for learning. People can just download either one of them.

I want to try making the extension, in my own way, without looking at the source code.

Is it possible to share a grey scale image?

Your issue is about saving an image that has been greyscaled, not about sharing it.

my issue is about sharing the greyscaled image, do you have any solution on this, let me know, also help me on cropping the camera image

I provided the solution unfortunately the website is not working at the moment.

Use Taifun's Image extension to crop the image.

Your cropper tool is the best so please help me on the camera cropper
