Configuration

There are a number of configuration options for Gatorpeeps Tools. You can find these in Options > Gatorpeeps Tools.

Showing Your peeps

Widget Friendly

If you are using widgets, you can drag Gatorpeeps Tools to your sidebar to display your latest peeps.

Template Tags

If you are not using widgest, you can use a template tag to add your latest peeps to your sidebar.

<?php peeps_sidebar_peeps(); ?>

If you just want your latest peep, use this template tag.

<?php peeps_latest_peep(); ?>

Double posting to Gatorpeeps and Twitter

You can not directly post to Gatorpeeps and Twitter as this plugin only posts directly to Gatorpeeps. However, if you'd like to post to both services then follow these simple steps.

1. Log into Gatorpeeps
2. Click on the settings page
3. Enter your twitter username and password and hit save

Easy as one, two, three :) Anything you post via this plugin to Gatorpeeps will also update to your Twitter account.

Hooks/API

Gatorpeeps Tools contains a hook that can be used to pass along your peep data to another service (for example, some folks have wanted to be able to update their Facebook status). To use this hook, create a plugin and add an action to:

peeps_add_peep

Your plugin function will receive an aktt_peep object as the first parameter.

Example psuedo-code:

function my_status_update($peep) { // do something here }
add_action('peeps_add_peep', 'my_status_update')

Known Issues

• Only one Gatorpeeps account is supported (not one account per author).
• peeps are not deleted from the peep table in your WordPress database when they are deleted from Gatorpeeps. To delete from your WordPress database, use a database admin tool like phpMyAdmin.

Credits

This plugin would simply not be possible without the magnificent Twitter Tools plugin created by Alex King. We have adapted Alex's original plugin to work with the Gatorpeeps API so we can't claim credit for this plugin at all! Thanks Alex!
