Sample of PingThis integration with default Garland Theme

PingThis Features:

Currently, using the PingThis module, will allow you to add a link to your posts that will give yourself along with visitors to your site the ability to quickly share posts by using Ping.fm. There couldn't be a better way to allow users to promote your page(s) than by simply posting it to ALL of their social networking sites at once!!

Current Features include:

  • Select node types you wish to display the PingThis module on
  • Select user roles allowed to use the PingThis module
  • Choose to display in $teaser view or not
  • Change default posting mode (none/status/microblog/blog)
  • Enter custom text to prepend the title of article when a user submits link to Ping.fm
  • Turn PingThis off/on

Proposed Features:

The following are features that I think will be useful and included in an upcoming release of PingThis. If you have a feature in mind, please comment on it here, and/or request a feature at the official drupal.org proect page for PingThis.

  • Ability to include the PingThis interface as a block that is not tied to the node as well.
    This gives the opportunity to use it in a block in the sidebar for example that will allow it to appear on the home page, and/or every page so that it is tied to the page being viewed, not just the node.
  • More feature ideas pending...
