Ping multiple sites with this new addon. Package: http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC_1.0_RC1.umbSource: http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC.zipThe packages adds 2 new files. /bin/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC.dll /umbraco/plugins/TG/PingXMLRPC/config.xml Now everytime you publish a post a ping is send ( async ) to the different services listed in the config.xml file. Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <PingXMLRPC> <Settings> <Name></Name> <URL></URL> </Settings> <Services> <Service>http://rpc.pingomatic.com</Service> <Service>http://pingoat.com/goat/RPC2/</Service> <Service>http://pingqueue.com/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://www.bloglines.com/ping</Service> <Service>http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2</Service> <Service>http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates</Service> <Service>http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc</Service> <Service>http://ping.myblog.jp</Service> <Service>http://ping.bitacoras.com</Service> <Service>http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://bblog.com/ping.php</Service> </Services> </PingXMLRPC> If Name and Url are not filled in then the Blog Name property and the url of the blog is used. Everything is logged so you can check the response. If there is any interest I can update this package so it can be used it on other sites ( non umbracoblogs ) Cheers

Hi Tim! Superb contribution to the growing flora of nice little Umbraco Helpers ; ) If you would like to make it a bit more versatile you could move some more properties out to the config XML, especially the "documentObject.ContentType.Alias" that's set to "umbracoBlogPost" for the moment... Then it could be used for any custom site... Another (very cool) option might be to listen to the RSS package for fileupdates ; ) Anyway, great little addon this one! I'll use it as soon as it's a bit more generic ; ) // ; ) Kalle

Hi Kalle, Thanks for the reply, sure I'll make it more generic, just didn't know if anyone would be interested. Greets, Tim

Hiya Tim, Thanks for actually putting my idea into practice - when I get some time I will test this out. I will be interested to know where logged responses are kept, so I can check the PING response has worked successfully. Warren

Everything is logged in the umbracolog table Code:
select * from umbracoLog where logComment like 'ping%'
Code:Ping - Response - http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/ - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value><struct> <member><name>flerror</name> <value><boolean>0</boolean></value> </member> <member><name>message</name> <value><string>Thanks for the ping.</string></value> </member> </struct></value> </param> </params> </methodResponse> Haven't tested this but the logs should be visible with the log viewer http://objects.dk/2006/6/5/log-viewer-updated.aspx

Owkey I updated so it can be used on all document types ( not only umbracoblog ) Package: http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC/RC2/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC_1.0_RC2.umbSource: http://testing.netcentric.be/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC/RC2/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC.zipIt still only installs 2 files /bin/TG.Umb.PingXMLRPC.dll /umbraco/plugins/TG/PingXMLRPC/config.xml Contents of config.xml: Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <PingXMLRPC> <Settings> <Name></Name> <URL></URL> <DocumentTypeAlias>umbracoBlogPost</DocumentTypeAlias> <ParentDocumentTypeAlias>umbracoBlog</ParentDocumentTypeAlias> </Settings> <Services> <Service>http://rpc.pingomatic.com</Service> <Service>http://pingoat.com/goat/RPC2/</Service> <Service>http://pingqueue.com/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://www.bloglines.com/ping</Service> <Service>http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2</Service> <Service>http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates</Service> <Service>http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc</Service> <Service>http://ping.myblog.jp</Service> <Service>http://ping.bitacoras.com</Service> <Service>http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://bblog.com/ping.php</Service> </Services> </PingXMLRPC> So standard it is setup for use on the umbracoblog. If you want to use this for other documenttypes you need to modify DocumentTypeAlias and ParentDocumentTypeAlias DocumentTypeAlias is the alias of the documenttype wich will trigger the action ( on publish ) ParentDocumentTypeAlias is the alias of the documenttype of the parent node So if you have: -Homepage --News (NewsAlias) ---Newsitem (NewsItemAlias) And you want to ping when a newsitem is published DocumentTypeAlias = NewsItemAlias ParentDocumentTypeAlias = NewsAlias The Url will autogenerate ( Niceurl of the parent document ). But you can override that by setting the url in the config.xml file. And you will need to set a name in the config.xml file if this isn't used on the umbraco blog. So An example: Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <PingXMLRPC> <Settings> <Name>My Comany's newsblog</Name> <URL></URL> <DocumentTypeAlias>NewsItemAlias</DocumentTypeAlias> <ParentDocumentTypeAlias>NewsAlias</ParentDocumentTypeAlias> </Settings> <Services> <Service>http://rpc.pingomatic.com</Service> <Service>http://pingoat.com/goat/RPC2/</Service> <Service>http://pingqueue.com/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://www.bloglines.com/ping</Service> <Service>http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2</Service> <Service>http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates</Service> <Service>http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc</Service> <Service>http://ping.myblog.jp</Service> <Service>http://ping.bitacoras.com</Service> <Service>http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/</Service> <Service>http://bblog.com/ping.php</Service> </Services> </PingXMLRPC> I also provided a link to the source, so even if you don't use the package you can download the source and see an example on how to create actionhandlers for umbraco. Cheers, Tim

So, did anyone try this one out ? If there are no issues I can post this to the repo team.

Hi Tim,
I've installed it on my test server and there hasn't been any issues in the last two weeks. If nothing goes wrong in the next week or so, I'll look at putting it on my production box.
Cheers

Great one Tim, How about throwing the config file in the config folder and change the extension to .config. V3 style :) Kindly, Jesper

Sure, that would be possible, So what would be best, /config/pingxmlrpc.config or /config/plugins/pingxmlrpc.config or /config/plugins/tg/pingxmlrpc.config Would be nice to have some kind of guidlines for future packages ... Package team, what do you think ?

Or Use packages instead of plugins to avoid any misunderstanding /config/packages/tg/pingxmlrpc.config

I'm not package team but I would go for either: /config/pingxmlrpc.config or /config/pingxmlrpc/someconfigname.config This way ensuring that when it comes to configuring Umbraco stuff you always know where .. kind of control panel ( or Apple System Preferences ). Kindly, Jesper

Hi Warren, I'll have to check this one, but I think this is standard behaviour.

VERY nice package! I've actually been thinking about doing one myself, now I don't have to do all that work :-) I agree, PINGing with the parent URL is standard behaviour, for some weird reason. Not sure why the standard doesn't include the URL to the actual latest post also. One question: Why use ParentDocument TypeAlias, and not just ParentDocument? /SoerenS

Tim, Soren can you supply me with a spec that details about pinging the parent URL as opposed to the actual new content page? Secondly Tim is it possible to modify the package to get it to work to ping sitemaps to google? http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34609

Well, I was thinking that it should just listen for all new posts under a specific node. Instead of certain aliases under a parent alias. Not sure why exactly I was thinking that, since it seems like the current functionality easily can be used for the structure on my own blog. /SoerenS
