FlintZA's dashboard

I have tested it with few different RSS feeds and it works.
I want you to help me test it .
Right now you have to put your application key in and a feed and it will post the last 3 feeds in the post to ping.fm.
Once properly tested , i will make the script available for download and you can change the parameters like how often you want to check it etc and you can run the system from your own web server.
I did think of a hosted solution but as Anthony is already doing one , it is better for me to do it this way

sounds good. is the page available at http://seoatwork.com/ping/beta.htm 'live' (aka - does it work), as I couldn't find any download links anywhere.

If it's live and all systems go - how often does it check? :) – Beau Giles, on November 22, 2008 13:10

The script is ready for testing at
http://www.seoatwork.com/pingfm2rss
it is not very cosmetically appealing.
If you help me test the script , i will release it asap.
The script need php curl and cron to make it work.
It will sit in your web server and checks for new post and post it to ping.fm
@Adam I have sent you an email with my account details. Hope you have enabled the developer key.

Awesome - can't wait to see this released to the public! :D

Hey I got pingfeed working after rewriting the code a lot. Right now I am working on a logo and some filter functions along with perfecting the intelligence of it of was that feed already pinged or not. I am also fixing up my cron job to start running on set intervals to run the functions to see if a feed needs to be pinged. As of right now though I am only activating my two test accounts/feeds because of cron setup issues but you can sign up for an account to be given to you as soon as the cron is fixed.

Here's an example post to my twitter from a feed update http://twitter.com/gamers600/status/1...

As of right now you have the ability to select the feed update to be posted to your status, micro-blogs, or blogs on twitter (custom post triggers coming soon). IN addition on blog postings you can add text before or after all of your feed posts to it.

As of right now though we have some cron issues but if you wud like to sign up to get an account as soon as that is fixed be my guest. Also if you have a blog or have a way of making a web page be visited or pinged (ex. pignomatic) when a feed is update or a post is added, then send me a message because you can bypass this whole not having cron working and use pingfeed.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on pingfeed please email anthony{at}mytechwatch{dot}com.

Thanks,
Anthony

P.S. If you already emailed me about being interested in pingfeed I have not forgotten about you and plan to give you access to pingfeed 2 days before i release it to the public to get general feedback on if anything shud be changed or anything.

Also i know the interface right now is sucky but at least I've gotten the thing working, but I will redesign the interface later after I've gotten the cron fixed.

The plugin only works with PHP 5, and automatically transmits all blog posts regardless of category. – iamPariah, on November 19, 2008 03:54

If you use Wordpress there is a plugin to do it:

The "OK" reply from the api call just confirms the call was successful. We do not currently have a way to verify the result was successful through the api. – Adam, on November 18, 2008 19:10

Oh the teasing better end soon... I'm getting excited here.

You can include your developer key along with the source and we will enable it for anyone to use. Send us an email with your key using the contact form on the website. – Adam, on November 18, 2008 18:57

Another issue... when posting api with status updates it works, for some reason the blog dont work, although I get a status OK when I post it.

I made a small application which is posting rss feeds to ping fm.
It works now though it needs improvements. I currently work from my developer key ..what is the process of obtaining a global developer key?

Thanks for the reply Sean. Actually the particular case where I would have found this most helpful would be on mobile IM (such as Nimbuzz) so a URL would have limited usefulness.
How about a 'multi-page' list?
For example, sending "help triggers" results in the top ten triggers, and instructions to send "help more" for the rest.

This may prove useful for other help pages too (though it would require some additional state management server side).

We used to do this, but the list got too large. Maybe a link to the help page? I will see what we can do.

That's a real pity. Thanks for going to the effort of looking into it though.

Well i had a mishap recently with everything on my computer being erased (my linux box which i was developing on) so as a result I am currently trying to get back to where i was in developement – anthonyk, on November 04, 2008 02:24

Hi, we've heard this question a few times, but there is nothing we can do for it right now. We've been discussing this with Nokia technical guys many times, and finally there is nothing we can do from our side to support these keys from the application.

Any progress on this?

The mark all read text at the top of category pages is not clearly clickable. Also it still stops working for me once an article has been expanded inline.

Perhaps if you enabled the keyboard shortcut 'm' on category pages and the various front pages it would add the necessary functionality, eliminate the clickable "mark as read" issues, and minimize clutter.
