Ping live.com

I have made these changed to the vbseo_sitemap_functions.php to add live.com pinging to the sitemaps.

Code:

   	function vbseo_sitemap_ping_url($url)
   	{
   		global $vbseo_stat;
   		$purl = 'http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url);
   		$rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
		$vbseo_stat['ping'] = strstr($rping, 'Received');

   		//$purl = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url);
   		$purl = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid='.VBSEO_YAHOO_APPID.'&url='.urlencode($url);

		$rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
		$vbseo_stat['pingyahoo'] = strstr($rping, 'successfully');

   		$purl = 'http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap='.urlencode($url);
		$rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
		$vbseo_stat['pingask'] = strstr($rping, 'successful');

   		$purl = 'http://api.moreover.com/ping?u='.urlencode($url);
		$rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
		$vbseo_stat['pingmore'] = strstr($rping, 'Thank you');

		$purl = 'http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap='.urlencode($url);
		$rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
		$vbseo_stat['pingmore'] = strstr($rping, 'Thanks for submitting your sitemap.');

		return ;
   	}

Code:

Google ping: ".(isset($stat['ping'])?($stat['ping']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".
Yahoo ping: ".(isset($stat['pingyahoo'])?($stat['pingyahoo']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".
Ask ping: ".(isset($stat['pingask'])?($stat['pingask']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".
Moreover ping: ".(isset($stat['pingmore'])?($stat['pingmore']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".
Msn ping: ".(isset($stat['pingmore'])?($stat['pingmore']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".

Does that look Alright ?

Hello,

you should replace 'pingmore' with 'pinglive' for the new entry.

Ok Thanks

Would you mind posting the final code and some basic instructions on how to revise the code?

In vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file
FIND:

PHP Code:

$vbseo_stat['pingmore'] = strstr($rping, 'Thank you'); 


ADD BELOW:

PHP Code:

$purl = 'http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap='.urlencode($url);
        $rping = vbseo_query_http($purl);
        $vbseo_stat['pinglive'] = strstr($rping, 'Thanks for submitting your sitemap.'); 


FIND:

PHP Code:

Moreover ping: ".(isset($stat['pingmore'])?($stat['pingmore']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').". 


ADD BELOW:

PHP Code:

Msn ping: ".(isset($stat['pinglive'])?($stat['pinglive']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').". 


I must be missing something because my codes says:


Google ping: ".($vboptions['vbseo_sm_ping']?($stat['ping']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".
Yahoo ping: ".($vboptions['vbseo_sm_pingyahoo']?($stat['pingyahoo']?'Successful':'FAILED'):'Disabled').".

Do you have v2.1 of vBSEO Sitemap Generator installed?

I downloaded it from here vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator for vBulletin 3.6.x, 3.5.x & 3.0.x - Page 108 - vBulletin.org Forum it says 2.0. Where is 2.1?

Here it is: vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator - vBulletin.org Forum

Thanks! Always helps to be using the latest version. :-)

Thanks for this one.

BTW Live.com webmaster tools recommends this:

Code:

http://webmaster.live.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=[Your sitemap web address

as ping urls.

Quick question, is this modification planned to be included in the next release of sitemap?

Yes, it will be included.

I downloaded the sitemap recently and this was already in it.
