Auto Ping by xenCODE [Deleted]

What's the best way to see whether this is working??? i.e. actually sending stuff the the engines??

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

I am not sure... maybe check after one or two hour on google if you page has been indexed...

Uninstalled, made no difference in terms of indexing. Besides, there must be a better way to find out about the status of the threads.

Any update on whether this works or not??

It just pings Alexa. There is nothing more. And Alexa is a questionable source for accurate info on a site.

Gene: this doesn't just ping alexa. It pings a service (pingomatic) that pings all of their supported search engines and all.

However, this addon just didn't work for me.
1. I installed it properly, placing the files in the correct folders. No apparent error.
2. I modified the /DataWriter.php script to log whenever the ping function is called
3. I created a thread
4. The log didn't show any data.
5. I replaced the source code of DataWriter.php with random garbage
6. Created a thread again. Nothing happened, not even an error, the thread posted normally.

I think this addon might not be compatible with the latest version of XenForo ?

How is compatibility with the latest version of XF? Does this work well?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

With all these reports, I don't think this is working... will work on an work-around...

That would be great! Glad to see that you want to fix this add on! Can't wait to try it when it is compatible.

I don't have this kind of feature on my forum.
But less than 30 minutes, new content ie.. threads, post got index by google already.

 

[Deepmartini]

Is this still working? Was the addon abandoned?

Please up for 1.4
