Great for having a personal archive of content sent through Ping.fm, displaying\nstatus updates in your sidebar, or starting a mobile photo blog. While there's\nplenty of room for customizing the plugin, sane defaults ensure that 90% of\npeople can get up and running quickly. Keep reading for a full list of features\nbelow...<\/p>\n\n
This plugin has required PHP 5 for quite a while, but the increased\nrequirements below are in line with the new standard coming in WordPress 3.2.\nOther version of PHP\/MySQL might work just fine, but I personally use even\nlater versions of both for development and testing. The minimums listed below\nare just that---minimums. My advice is to use the latest stable versions you\ncan get your hands on.<\/p>\n\n
Starting with version 2.0.0 of this plugin, I added a PayPal donation link to\nthe information box in the upper-right corner of the page. Let me be clear: I'm\nnot<\/strong> soliciting donations, there is no charge for this plugin, and you are\nnot<\/strong> obligated to give me any money for any reason. However, people have\nasked me if they could donate, and I wanted to facilitate that if you feel so\ninclined.<\/p>\n\n I've spent countless hours developing and supporting this plugin, but it's\nmostly a labor of love. I first created the plugin to meet my own needs, and\nit's kind of taken off from there. If you feel that the plugin has been useful\nto you in some way, I'd be honored to take your money and spend it on gadgets\nand firearm accessories.<\/p>\n\n Works with Ping.fm's Custom URL feature to collect blog entries, micro-blog\nentries, and status updates and post them to your blog.<\/p><\/li>\n Photos posted through Ping.fm can be downloaded to your own blog and\ndisplayed as part of a normal post. It's a super-easy way to set up an\nawesome self-hosted mobile photo blog.<\/p><\/li>\n Status updates and micro-blogs can be administered through a native\nWordPress management screen while blogs are, well... normal blog entries!\nEvery feature of this plugin is tightly integrated with WordPress to\nprovide a native look and feel.<\/p><\/li>\n A beautiful settings page with predefined smart defaults and contextual\nhelp when you need it.<\/p><\/li>\n Status updates are posted to the sidebar and displayed with a widget. A\nstandard template tag is also provided for those of you who are\nanti-widget.<\/p><\/li>\n The sidebar widget is customizable with the number of status updates to\nshow and an optional string to prepend all updates with (e.g. you might use\nyour first name if all your status updates begin with a verb like mine do:\nMatt is...). Sensible CSS and examples are provided for you to customize\nthe look and feel of your widget.<\/p><\/li>\n Provides an RSS feed and permalinks for your pings so that you can share\nthem with the rest of the world.<\/p><\/li>\n Blog entries and micro-blog entries can have certain metadata applied to\nthem automatically. You can set the author, category, tags, and post status\n(published or draft) for all incoming pings.<\/p><\/li>\n All the cool features of Ping.fm: post to your self-hosted WordPress blog\nusing SMS, IM, email, desktop gadgets, mobile apps, etc.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n void wp_pingfm_status<\/strong> ( [ int Displays status updates in an unordered list ( limit<\/em><\/p>\n\n The number of status updates to show.

Neat, huh?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n permalink<\/em><\/p>\n\n Whether to show timestamps as permalinks, a la Twitter.

Essentially, you just want to copy and paste the\ngiven URL into your Ping.fm Custom URL settings. Feel free to change any\nother settings on that page (it is your<\/em> blog, after all). If you need to\nspecify a default category for incoming posts, and that category doesn't\nexist yet, go and create it first, and then come back and select it.<\/p><\/li>\n Head over to WordPress Admin > Design > Widgets<\/strong> and add the 'Ping.fm'\nwidget to your sidebar. If you click the 'Edit' link in the activated\nwidget, you'll be able to configure a whole slew of options to your liking.\nIf your theme is non-widgetized, or if you just have a bias against widgets\nfor some reason, you can use the Post something to your Ping.fm account and let the good times roll! If\nnothing shows up at first, it's probably because you haven't posted anything\nyet. (It seems obvious, but you'd be surprised.) Only updates made after<\/em>\nyou install the plugin will show up, and even then, only after you've told\nPing.fm to post to your custom URL. And, on the Ping.fm side, be sure to\ncheck the appropriate boxes for the kinds of updates you'd like to send to\nyour custom URL. Finally, if you don't think your status updates are\nshowing up, make sure the widget has been added to your sidebar and that\nyou've saved the changes.<\/p><\/li>\n For those about to ping, we salute you!<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n Yes, of course you can! Go to your sidebar widgets and hit the 'Edit' link for\nthe Ping.fm widget. This is all mentioned in the installation instructions, but\nI can see that you're the impatient type that never reads anything. I bet you\ndidn't read the owner's manual for your car, either, huh?<\/p><\/dd>\n Well... have you posted any yet? Only status updates posted to Ping.fm after<\/em>\ninstalling the plugin and after<\/em> configuring the custom URL will show up on\nyour blog. If you're confident you've done everything right, there might be\nsomething else going on. You might have discovered a bug, or an \"undocumented\nfeature\" as we software engineers like to call them. Send me some sugar at\nmatt@mattjacob.com<\/a> and I'll see what I can do.<\/p><\/dd>\n Read the question immediately preceding this one once more. Done? Now go through\nthe checklist below and make sure everything is kosher:<\/p>\n\n Is your site blocked off from others using HTTP Basic Authentication or some\nother method? Do you have firewall rules restricting users to a certain IP\nrange?<\/p><\/li>\n Are you using any WordPress plugins that limit outside access? I've seen\nproblems related to the Bad Behavior plugin in the past.<\/p><\/li>\n Can you hit the \"secret posting URL\" from your browser? You should get an\nerror message, which is a good sign that the plugin is installed and\nworking.<\/p><\/li>\n Do you have some boxes checked over at the\nCustom URL Settings<\/a> page?
