Inappropriate?Working on it. Will come as a plugin that we develop.
We are also working with wordpress.com sites as well.
I’m a plugin
-
Inappropriate?there is a wordpress plugin that will update ping.fm when you post on your wordpress site--pingpress.fm.

Inappropriate?Good to hear you are working on it! This is something that I am excited to use.
I’m looking forward to it!

Inappropriate?I've developed a WP plugin that will show status updates in your sidebar, but it won't do full posts (that's not the intent). If you just need a widget to display your x latest status updates, you might want to give my plugin a shot:

I’m excited

Inappropriate?posterous.com has the feature. It allows you to post directly to your self-hosted wordpress blog. The features of Ping are not quite there...yet. But that's *almost* a catch for me.
Ping? When can we expect this. I love your service, this would raise you to "Killer App" status in my book!
I’m stoked!

Inappropriate?I will take this on my own personal time to get it to you. It seems to be important so plan to see it this week.
Fair?
-
Inappropriate?@Sean I've already done most of the work, and it wouldn't take much more to be able to post actual entries using my plugin. If you want, I can add this feature to my plugin, and then you can get back to integrating with the 500 additional social networking sites popping up daily. :-)
-
Do you have an IM service of any kind? We could collaborate and make this a done deal. -
Ahhh. Didn't see the 'add comment' link at the bottom of each post. Nice. You can get me on Google Talk at matt [dot] jacob [at] gmail [dot] com. On AIM, I'm mattjacob1. -
Inappropriate?You guys truly rock. And yes, it seems more than fair. I will continue to evangelize this service fervently. Heheh.
I’m thankful
-
now i'm excited... can't wait! -
Inappropriate?Well, kids, I've put some extensive work into my original plugin, and now the integration is close enough to taste. And it tastes both salty and sweet at the same time. It's delicious.
Anyway, it's really close to working. Expect a working version Friday night or Saturday morning.
I’m coding
-
Inappropriate?We're at 98% right now. Unfortunately, I have a prior obligation I need to attend to this afternoon, but I'll finish up a couple things and make a release tonight on the WP plugins site:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p...
I’m almost there
-
Inappropriate?Fresh out of the oven and straight to your browser, we now have version 0.9.2---complete with support for all three kinds of Ping.fm updates! Get it while it's hot:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p...
Email me with any problems, suggestions, questions, etc. You'll find me at matt [at-thingy] mattjacob [dot] com.
I’m enjoying a G&T

This is great! Thanks for the good work... However, one request: when posting to the custom URL, is it possible to have both title AND body, instead of just the body of the post as with Ping.fm's wordpress.com's feature? -
If select "ping my blogs" in the dropdown menu on your Ping.fm dashboard (http://ping.fm/dashboard/), both the title and the body should get posted to your blog. Try that and let me know if you're still not getting the expected result. -
ah... that worked! and so did @b! this is FAB... thing is...the status update widget doesn't seem to be updating properly...my first "ping" came through but the one after that still hasn't turned up even though it's already showing on my twitter RSS... any ideas? -
That sometimes happens to me too, but I can't pinpoint the problem. What should happen is that Ping.fm should queue the update and keep trying to send it a certain number of times until it receives an OK status from the plugin. That would ensure that no updates are lost. -
FYI, It's been over a day and the sidebar widget hasn't updated at all beyond the first initial ping. I've pinged at least five times since and none of them have appeared on the sidebar widget. -
You might have a unique problem that's not immediately obvious to me. Toss me an email at 123matt555@mattjacob.com and I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong. Remove the numbers from that email address first. :-) If you have AIM, ping me: mattjacob1. -
Inappropriate?Version 0.9.4 is locked and loaded!
Improvements include:
- Better resiliency when moving the plugin files around to different directories under /wp-content/plugins
- The ability to edit the widget's CSS text colors (Edit link on activated widget panel = widget settings)
- A couple minor fixes and speed enhancements
All in all, we're rolling right along towards 1.0.0. Expect it around the end of this month. In the meantime, keep pointing out bugs (which are actually features) and suggestions!
Thanks to everyone who has tried out the plugin so far. :-)
I’m looking for feedback
-
Inappropriate?Nice work on this. I've seen a lot of positive feedback.
-
Inappropriate?Any word when we can post using ping to our hosted wordpress blogs? Ping.com lets me update everything perfectly except my blog!
-
Inappropriate?Is my plugin missing a feature you're looking for, or does it flat out not work for you?
http://mattjacob.com/journal/pingfm-w... -
Inappropriate?Installed it, but don't know what to do from there. I need a key I guess, but then what do I do. It will be greatwhen there is an automatic setup from Ping.fm, although I applaud your work.
-
Inappropriate?Oops I got your program confused with another plugin that I had installed. Guess I don't need a key.
-
Inappropriate?There are fairly detailed installation instructions available. Have you read those yet?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/p... -
Followed the directions but I still get nothing. I even changed the key and updated address at ping.fm. I tried microblog, status, and blog and there is nothing in the status widget or on the blog. -
Inappropriate?A couple things:
1. Go to your Ping.fm Custom URL settings at https://ping.fm/custom/ and make sure the boxes are checked next to "use for:".
2. Check your WP database and make sure the 'wp_pingfm' table exists. I've seen problems where this table doesn't get created when the user doesn't have CREATE privs or when an old version of MySQL is used.
3. If all else fails, I can give you a PHP script to test the plugin in an isolated way without even bringing in Ping.fm. It uses cURL to do a simple HTTP POST to your plugin. -
All use for settings are checked. There is a database for ping.fm, but I don't know how to change any settings. I could try php script if it is not to hard. You can write me directly scott at disneybear.com. disneybear.com is the blog by the way.! Thanks for your help -
Inappropriate?Matt....I cant get this running...I get a message on ping.fm that says it cannot connect when I enter my custom url. I did check and the table is in the db
-
Inappropriate?I had Matt Jacob's plugin running perfectly, but it isn't compatible with wp 2.7. Is there an alternative option, or should I just hope that the plugin gets updated? :)
I’m troubled
-
Inappropriate?Hi there. :-)
In what way is the plugin not compatible with 2.7? I have 2.7 installed, but I'm just using the sidebar widget to post status updates. I'll check it out and do some testing tomorrow, and fix anything that needs fixing. -
Inappropriate?Matt - this is really embarrassing. I forgot to re-activate the plugin! It works perfectly.
Thanks for your quick reply and sorry for taking your time with this.
I’m stupid
