Post your blog posts to any Status.net server + Twitter
February 28th, 2010 by Andreas from Xavier Media®Status.net servers like Identi.ca and MyXavier are getting more and more popular since it's possible to follow users on different servers without having to sign up at each individual server. This means that you can have an account at for example Identi.ca and follow another user at MyXavier.com without signing up for another account at MyXavier.com 
To make it easy for you to update your status with your latest blog posts we at Xavier Media have created a WordPress plugin that will post an status update to any Status.net server. If you have several accounts on different Status.net servers you can have the plugin to post to all your accounts, just specify the servers to update with your status and fill in the user names.
Once the plugin is activated in your WordPress blog a new status update will be posted to each of the specified accounts every time you make anew blog post.
Since the Status.net API used by the plugin to update statuses is compatible with Twitters own API you can of course also update your status at Twitter with this plugin too. Just use server api.twitter.com, path 1 and your Twitter user name and password.
If you would like to use short links in your status updates (most of us do), you can of course select one of seven different link shortener services:
To get the plugin, please have a look at the WP Status.net plugin web site.
Do you have suggestions for new features you think we should add in the plugin? Please let us know and perhaps we can add them in the next release

Thank you for this amazing plugin! I'd like to see a feature though: do not post again to status.net when I edit an already published post

I don't think the plugin should do that in the current version since for every post it's sending to Status.net it's also setting a variable on the post. If the variable is still there when you edit it shouldn't post he same blog post again to status.net.

ok maybe it's because the plugin was installed after the publishing of the post.
thanks !

Is it possible for this plugin to work with a self hosted status.net installation like mine http://www.weninja.com/status/
I'd like to automatically post links to my blog posts on my own status.net install. If it is possible, can you explain what I need to add in the plugin settings form please.
Thanks

Yes, the plugin is built for that. Just fill in the location of your server and the api path. Then setup a user account and fill in your user name and password in the plugin admin page.

how do I find the API path and is the sever the root of my install – for example:-
http://www.weninja.com/status/
Thanks !

finally got it figured out – server was http://www.weninja.com and path was status/api
works like a charm – thanks for a great plugin

Good. Next Sunday we many release an upgrade. You should see it as an upgrade in your list of plugins in WordPress

hello theres just one issue with this plugin. when ever someone re-posts it goes out again it does not have options to only post a written article once so you get duplicate posts on identi or status.net. hope to see changes in next upgrade because this is such a great plugin.

The plugin already got that feature. Once a post has been submitted to a status server it's not doing it again if you edit the post. Check if you have post meta data called "status_net" in your posts. Otherwise it's something wrong with your installation of the plugin, because once "status_net" equals "yes" in a post it's not resubmitting to the status.net servers again.

Will you update the twitter part of the plugin to oauth? Today is the last day it works with basic auth.

Not sure, Twitter is not very developer friendly so I don't know if we spend the time to develop something they may bann the next day.
