HP just approved my updated version of Ping.fm for webOS.
Version 1.0.2 adds support for cross-app launching and international characters.
Cross-app launching was suggested by Marc (@ScienceApps) in order to provide support for posting via Ping.fm inside his Lithium Messenger and Multiple App Launcher apps.
Any webOS app (>= 1.4.0) should be able to cross-launch Ping.fm by using something like:
var args = {
appId: "net.thauvin.erik.webos.pingfm",
name: "main"
}
var params = {
method: "blogs",
title: "This is a test title",
message: "This is a test message"
}
this.controller.stageController.pushScene(args, params);
The parameters are as follows:
Parameter Required Description method No The service, trigger or group to post to.
(e.g.: microblog, @tt, #group, etc.)title No Title of the posted message, if required or supported.
(e.g.: blog)message No The message body.
I've also implemented a workaround for an inconsistency in the Ping.fm API that prevents posting to certain groups.
As usual, the up-to-date source is in my subversion repos.
