Description

This plugin sends a "ping" to weblog update notification services when you update your blog. This would happen, for example, when you add, edit, or delete blog entries.

The ping is sent via XML-RPC according to the weblogs.com ping XML-RPC specification and the extended ping XML-RPC specification. The plugin will first try the extended ping and if it fails, it will try the normal ping.

Installation and Setup

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

weblogs-ping=org.blojsom.plugin.weblogsping.WeblogsPingPlugin

You may add the following property to your individual blog.properties file to control the URLs that are sent a ping when the Weblogs Ping plugin executes.

blog-ping-urls=http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2 http://ping.blo.gs http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

URLs to ping are separated by a space on a single line.

The default syndication flavor sent for the RSS URL with the extended ping is rss2. If you would like to change the syndication flavor sent for the RSS URL for the extended ping, add the preferred-syndication-flavor property to your blog.properties file. For example, the following would set the preferred syndication flavor to atom.

preferred-syndication-flavor=atom
