This plugin enables you to have your posts submitted automatically to social bookmarking sites like delicio.us. At the moment it’s delicio.us only but other sites are soon to come.
How to install
How it works
Everytime you save a post (initial publish or a later save) it gets put into a queue. There is a cron job awakening every x minutes (see Options) that looks into this queue. If there is something in this queue this post is submitted. On successful submit the post is removed from the queue.
What you need
I’m using some stuff that requres PHP with curl compiled in, and I need something like PHP 4.4.2 for the authentification. You also need a host that allows SSL connections to the outside (I think many Godaddy plans don’t allow this).
Download
It took me several weeks to write this plugin. One time I had an applet to do that, then I threw this code away and asked “Why not a Wordpress plugin?”. If you know any worthwhile social bookmarking sites with an API please let me know, I will implement it.

@Mohd: I don’t quite get what you’re refering to. Auto Stumbling is not that complex isn’t it? Are do you know of any challenges here that I don’t?
January 31st, 2008 at 10:33 am
Warning: stumble bans ips…
January 31st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I love stumbleupon, and would hate to see it become a site that will display any potential spam that is autoposted!

@Earth Pro: No worries, it won’t happen. One of the reason this plugin never really got implemented.

Looks like a kick ass plug in! Thanx!

I’m having a weird error with this - one some sites it works fine, but one site if I have it activated I get an error from Yahoo, and nothing on the site displays (blank screen) but in the admin I get the following message:
Sorry, Service Temporarily Unavailable.
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you’re having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!’s online services. Also, you may find what you’re looking for if you try searching below.
Any ideas?

@uberdose
yes we can do it via cURL
@Trophaeum
yes it bas when you log into more than 2 accounts from 1 ip address, since the plugin will be on each one website, it will be stumbled from thier respective ips
@Earth Pro
yes it might create spam if everyone including bad blogs start using it.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
@Mohd: I guess that most Wordpress installations are running on shared IPs so this is an issue.

Looks good. I’m going to test it on older PC first before giving it the thumbs up and moving it to my main work PC.

Thanks

The plugin function sounds really great but I will wait till WP 2.5 and Auto Social 0.2 is out.

thanks for sharing
love to test it

[…] Auto Social is a sure fire way to make sure your posts get to Del.icio.us Every post you makes gets submitted with your post tags. If you couple this with the post thingy that will put all your daily tagging into a single post auto post it to your blog, then you are in good shape to have a daily wrap up of everything you are doing online. See The Other Blog for an example of how I aggregate this feature. […]

Does this plugin add tags from the post to delicious?

@uberdose: any plans to populate http://svn.wp-plugins.org/auto-social/trunk/ ? I love the idea of the plugin and I love being able to stay up-to-date by using ’svn up’!
@Shawn, #60: yeah, looking at the code, it does add tags.

June 17th, 2008 at 7:58 am
@Artem: I never got the approval mail for the project by wordpress, so I’m surprised this directory exists in the repository. That was one of the main reasons I never took it to another level.
But now I’m into completely different things anyway, so there’ll never be any other version or code besides what’s on this page by me.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:24 am
:(, sounds like someone needs to take over, it’s a brilliant idea.
June 17th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Yeah, the WordPress folks never sends out an email when the SVN repository is setup for you. When I requested my plugins to be added, I had to keep checking back everyday to see what the status is.
This plugin is a great idea and you are a great plugin developer. It’s pretty sad if you won’t be planning on updating this plugin (with new APIs) anymore?
June 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Thank you very much for this plug-in This is exactly what i need, it saves me a lot of time.

Hello,
i have made a new plugin who is based on wpads and adman. It named WPAdsmod, but i will rename it. Now my question if i can use adman and prepare other this plugin to download.
I saw that you published AdMan under the GNU General Public License and so I can use your plugin as a part of my plugin?

Fanstastic. I love this plugin. Looking forward for furture version and release.

I have already use this plugin. Great job for bloggers. Thank you very much.
But I have a question about this plugin? Why don’t upgrade for the next version,so that we can auto submit to many social bookmarkings? Try more, hey. You have already do a great job.

I have been using the paid Auto Social Poster plugin since version 2. It almost worked properly in version 2, only worked for direct posts (not future posts) in version 3 and stopped working completely in version 4. The support people were unable to make any version of 3.x work on my server, which I have complete control over. I changed a dozen things and tested repeatedly over a period of 9 months, only to have them give up. As far as I am concerned ASP is dead.

need to figure out how to prevent a loop when using auto social and delicious’ blog posting tool:
using auto social to send posts to delicious
and using daily blog posting tool on delicious to create posts (of links)
then auto social sends the post of links to delicious; and it keeps on going in that manner
is there a way to restrict posts sent to delicious?
or queue the posts before sending to delicious?
April 4th, 2009 at 7:56 am
@knowlimit: I’m pretty much out of the loop here since I abandoned WP dev last year. I assume that you want some posts to get auto-posted but others not (correct me if I understood wrong). The posts not to auto-post are those created from delicious. This should be easy to implement if the “forbidden” posts share some characteristic, like a special tag.
April 7th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
@uberdose, re: #88: you understood correctly. if the post came from delicious, do not auto-post back to delicious.
all the posts from delicious have these common characteristics (1. begin with “taktik(z) links”, 2. category “delicious”, 3. tagged links).
How easy would it be to implement with a special tag. Not sure if modifying the auto-social plugin would do the trick (would not know where to start).
April 7th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
If all posts with category delicious are to be ignored I *think* that’s easy to implement (if you can hardcode it), at least if you know something about WP hacking. And yes, you have to modify the plugin.
April 11th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
when you auto post to delicious, your blog won’t gain any link from it unless you go directly to delicious site and make all bookmarks to share. Otherwise nobody will see your bookmarks at all. There should be a way to activate share bookmarks as default but i can’t find it.
April 30th, 2009 at 5:47 am
I’ve been testing out this plugin for a couple of days and so far so good.
If you want a list of Social Bookmarking websites then go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_bookmarking_websites#Social_bookmarking
But the main ones (besides Delicious) are:
Digg
Mixx
Furl
StumbleUpon
Reddit
So if this plugin could post to those websites then it would be totally AWESOME!!!
