UPDATE 1: Right now, no one can use this plugin. Because, my developer key is suspended by ping.fm. I’ve already been contacting then for assistance. Please, be patience.

Hi there, this is my second attemp at creating wordpress plugin. In this one, I create a plugin that will automatically send a short update to ping.fm for each time you hit the Publish button. To use it, you will need a ping.fm Application Key. This little plugin utilize PHPingFM API by Dmitri Gaskin.

To use it, first download the plugin and upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/. Enable it from your wordpress administration panel. Then, enter the Application Key in Settings » CR Post2Pingfm

That’s it, now, everytime you hit Publish, this little plugin will automatically post an update to ping.fm. But do remember, that once the post is published, it will never submit to ping.fm again and again. Because, you don’t want to annoy your follower right?

Download

UPDATE:

2009-04-09 01:23:59: Download now handled by wordpress plugin repository

2009-06-11 15:27:30: Version 0.7 released with main feature is the ability to republish and setting another republish template

Does anyone know how to get pingfm to send my api key? I have sent 2 emails and gotten no reply. I really like this plugin and am setting it up on clients blog.
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

Wow, I don't know that they now change how you get API key. I'm sorry, I guess all you have to do is, wait
Babe

If you can believe it, I am still waiting to hear back from ping to get my api key. Does anyone know a way to contact them other than their website>
Phil

I'm having the same problem on my blog… Any updates?
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

Just got message from @pingfm: Ping.fm update: For those of you needing access to the application keys, the keys page is back up – thanks for your patience
Ed

according to Ping, the app key is no longer needed. As such my functioning ping.fm for wp is now broken.
Ed

Note: API keys are meant for application developers. If you are using a Ping.fm app that someone has created, it shouldn't require you submit an API key. Since we've recently changed this process, some of the apps might not have been updated to meet new requirements.

If you are using an app that requires an API key, contact the developer, or visit the app's website for an up-to-date version.

whoa, I wasn't aware of that. I'll have a look at it.

For some reason this has stopped working for me. I have latest version and API key in, but it's not posting to Ping.fm anymore. Did something happen or change that I am not aware of?
http://twitter.com/Natalie_Brown Natalie Brown

What do we do now? Because the plugin has stopped working for me and I'd love to get it working again since it's so awesome

Thanks for this update. Any idea when and if you will be back in business?

Sorry, I'm at the mercy of ping.fm. I still don't get message from then

Good luck at unblocking your key!… I wonder if that's why I can't get it working under WP 3.0 Beta 2. Everything seems to be saving properly, I get no errors, the modified page for “new post” looks fine, but… nothing gets posted.

I hope that the Ping.fm people are nice and fast

Guys, please help me by asking @askseesmic to check my issue.
Please use this template:
@askseesmic: Can you please check @ariefbayu's issue regarding Cr-Post2PingFM problem?
http://www.1clanek.info Vit

Thank you, who is “@askseesmic” and how to contact them please? Why not generate new application key when yours banner and let the people download plugin upgrade?
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

Hi, @askseesmic is Seesmic's support channel on twitter (FYI: seesmic is the company who own ping.fm). I've been in contact with them ever since my plugin broken.
I've also tried your suggestion, but no result .
Vit

I have sent them a message regarding Your plugin. 2 weeks, no reply. Looks like its something like contacting Google regarding unapproved AdSense application.
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

Just got reply from them, few minutes ago *finally, after a couple weeks* just to tell me to be patience (

Can we get an option to have a category ping template? This would be useful if we want to setup different templates for categories.
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

I can work on that, but, it will require some overhaul on the script.
Cool

Suggestion: Can you consider adding posting body of post also using ping.fm blogging method

This plugin sucks – Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
no documentation on how to solve this issue. After hours of trying to solve this issue I'm moving on to a plug in that actually works out of the box.
http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu

Hi Bill,

Thanks for being constructive. You do realize that the other person is able to download and install the very same plugin from that page. Just look at the other comment coming here from last week and look at stats on my plugin page at wordpress.

So, you can be a jerk if you want or maybe you can share whats your error message so that I can help you to pin-point what's goes wrong.

FYI: Most people complaining over stuff that actually the hosting server itself is broken .

Hi! So why is your application key still suspended?!
- http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu
  
  just like what I said to everybody else: Someone spamming ping.fm using this application and instead of blocking that guy’s key, they decided to shutdown the application.
  - Vit
    
    Hi,
    
    I have seen You have put alot of work into this. Lets transform this application in another (change name) and create new key. Thanks, Vit
    
    PS: I think it can be done in less than 24 hours. ;)
    - http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu
      
      I’m sorry, you’re wrong. I can create another plugin with another name, but I can’t create another key. Every time I create key, they go to pending for review all the time.
      
      Maybe you can try to create key and share it to me, so that I can release new plugin using that key. That’s if you are able to create it.
      - Adm
        
        I can send the key to You, but wont it be suspended same way as Yours?
        
        Is there possiblility to make the plugin work the way that every user needs to add his API key?
        
        If im not risking anything much and the plugin will work long time, i can send the key to you.. Vit
      - http://bayu.freelancer.web.id/ ariefbayu
        
        Please note that what I require is application key in this page: http://ping.fm/developers/
        
        Not the one in this page: http://ping.fm/key/

Tak for at være konstruktiv. Du indser, at den anden person er i stand til at hente og installere den selvsamme plugin fra denne side.
