Template Tag Usage

The function definition for the template tag is below. All parameters are optional.

void wp_pingfm_status ( [ string $title [, int $limit [, string $prefix [, bool $permalink [, string $id ]]]]] )

Displays status updates in an unordered list (<ul>) with a section heading above the list.

Parameters

title

Sets the title above the list of status updates. This text is displayed inside <h2> tags. Default value is "Status Updates".

limit

The number of status updates to show. Default value is 10. Depending on your needs and the location on the page, a value between 5 and 15 is usually pretty reasonable.

prefix

Some text to display before every status update. Default value is nothing. This can be useful if all of your status updates begin with a verb. For example, you might post "going to the store" from Ping.fm. If your prefix is "Matt is", the final output will be "Matt is going to the store". Neat, huh?

permalink

Whether to show timestamps as permalinks, a la Twitter. The archive page is editable via the tmpl-single.php template file.

id

The ID of the <div> containing everything. Default value is wp-pingfm. In addition to an ID, there is also a class of status-updates applied to the containing block.
