Good idea, but I think the ability to add pinging services manually has been discussed before, so users can choose whether to use this or not. But this is only my terrible memory, so I could have dreamt it! :oops:

If you're impatient and you want this functionality now, go to line 76 of b2evocore/_functions_pings.php and look for:

$client = new xmlrpc_client("/RPC2", "rpc.weblogs.com", 80);

and replace it with

$client = new xmlrpc_client("/", "rpc.pingomatic.com", 80);

That's it. :)

Just out of curiosity, did anything ever happen with this? Will be in the next release of b2evo?

Yes it will be in b2evo when we revamp the pinging process. Can't tell you exactly when that will be... :-/

How can I add this service without replacing weblogs.com ping? I would like to be able to just ping both for now until I test it out. Can I just copy the entire weblogs.com portion of the .php file and duplicate it using pingomatic? If so, what portion of the code would I need to duplicate?

You could, but pingomatic pings weblogs.com for you anyway. Look at their website for all the pings they support.

http://pingomatic.com

I've copied the function and renamed the copy pingPingomatic. Is there a function that calls pingWeblogs (and if so where?) that I need to change to make it call this new one too - or do all the functions in that file just get called in order somehow?

-- Update --
For anyone who finds this thread later...

I found the calls in /blogs/admin/edit_actions.php
and added a line after line 154 to contain a call to my new function.

pingPingomatic($blogparams);

Having said that, the ping hasn't worked yet - b2evo tried but the Pingomatic server didn't respond (and their site did seem to be running quite slowly) - which seems like vindication for still pinging weblogs/technorati etc individually.

Thank you. Now I just have to fild the PHP file that host the Weblong pinger and chnage it. That's what I really need to know. Again, Thanks. :)

/blogs/b2evocore/_functions_pings.php

By the way my above solution worked but only if you publish from the post writing/editing screen. The publish now button doesn't call the pingPingomatic function so it must work independently.

I think I've found it. There are other places in that file you need to add a call to
pingPingomatic($blogparams);

I just did a find for pingTechnorati
and added the pingPingomatic call on the following line. This ended up adding the new call at lines 155, 283 and 370. I'll let you know if this works.

Well did it work?

Sorry, it did work at the time, but IIRC I copied over the file when I upgraded to 0.9.1 so it's not going at the moment.

If you want to make the changes to the file the way I mentioned above - ie do a find for pingtechnorati and adding the call to the following line - it should work, although if the file's been updated the specific line numbers may have changed.

I just wanted to say:

Please add the ability to add "our own specified" pinging services in the admin panel. (this is important)

For those of us that need/want to ping specific services there is no way to do that now without hacking multiple files and the database.

Thanks

With 1.2 now out, where would the pingomatic statement now go?

This is a the list of changes you must do to have a 1.8.2 with Ping-O-Matic.

It's on ALPHA testing.

Soon I'll have a full version of "Serenity" with Ping-O-Matic (Install from Scratch or migrate dom 0.9.x)

Keep listening....
