Recently active topics in Ping.fm tagged with plugin

I've installed the Wordpress plugin and I'm able to utilize it to post full blog posts and have no issues. However, even though I have posted more than a few updates I am still seeing a message in my sidebar that I have no updates. How long does it take for them to show up? Is something wrong with my configuration?



As you can see from my recent posts on Ping.fm, my status updates are going to my Custom URL.

I downloaded the pingpress plugin from wordpress.org - I entered my API Key in the option but when I turn the plug in on I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in

function pingpressfm2_verify() {
// do the deed with ping.fm
$ch = curl_init(); ----> (LINE 493)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.ping.fm/v1/user.validate');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, Array('api_key' => get_option('pingpressfm2_api_dev'), 'user_app_key' => get_option('pingpressfm2_api_user')));
$output = curl_exec($ch);

On posts that include quotes in their title, such as this one at my blog, the Ping this! link ends up broken due to the quote not getting escaped properly. Thus, for example, the post I linked to ends up having a suggested title of just "FriendFeed" rather than "FriendFeed "Neo" released."

I hacked a quick fix, though; open ping.fm-ping-this.php end edit line 30 to read:


$title = urlencode(htmlentities($post->post_title));


This should resolve the problem for you.
