Post Pinger (Ping Update Services) · **Released**: 02-16-2006

This extension will ping update services such as technorati.com, or weblogs.com when a new thread is posted. You can add as many services as you wish to ping in the admin CP.

Here is a good explanation of what update services are:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services

It is recommended that you have rss and xml syndication turned ON in your vbulletin settings.

You should not add too many services as it could slow down your forum when people post new threads.

This does not update services when replies are posted, only when a new thread is started.

Installation:

Upload the IXR_Library.inc.php file to your forum root.

Install product.

Define settings in the vb options under post pinger.

Click Install!

Will offer support here as I can or at my forum at http://www.worldwidecreations.com

Jafo,

What about setting it optional for you to be able to ping on new posts in the Admin area?

All the best!

I really need this for 3.6.4 because I have a forum I use as a blog (www.zuneuser.com)

Anyone know a similar one or if this works in 3.6.x?

Jafo232 · #35 01-17-2007, 01:50 PM

Yes, it works on 3.6.x.

just installed this mod, very good thanks

Quick question, when you set up to get ping log and make a post as admin it will ping it and show the success etc of etc post in a screen, will this message appear to normal users when they make a post?

Jafo,

This thing here as you know is perfect, also I would like to warn a lot out there do NOT add a lot of pinging services as a warning LOL. Up to 10 is good, I put in the full list from wordpress's update services, on the forums one day to do a stress test and seen that the thread took about 3 minutes to post and then PHP did a timeout for over 180 seconds.. It posts the new thread if you open another browser you can see for yourself.

So this thing is what you can consider one of the best hacks for a forum.

Installed, exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully the blog search engines don't ban for too many submissions.

Installed it, its really a cool and automatic hack. Which increased my site visitors ratings.
