Ping Technocrati

[Guest]

From Technocrati's website, http://www.technorati.com/ping
I read this note:

You can also use Technorati's XML-RPC interface to automate this process and ping from within your weblog software. Enter http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping into your weblog tool's configuration for Pings and Notifications. Check our ping configuration page for more information.

What does this means and how do I do it with Serendipity. Please assist. TIA.

Install the "Weblogping" event plugin, it already contains a checkbox for technorati. When you publish an entry, just check the box for technorati, save your entry, and technorati will get its ping!

Strange but there's no such event plugin. I am using Spartacus on 1.0-alpha1. How am I going to install it? Please help.

That plugin is bundled by default with serendipity, in the plugins/serendipity_event_weblogping/ directory!

(It's an event plugin, in case you're looking for it in the sidebar plugin list...)

It's called Announce Entries, too, so maybe this is what you're looking for if you're not working on the filesystem

Thank you so much! I've been searching all over trying to find the 'webblog ping" even plugin which doesn't even exist.

It's called Announce Entries, too, so maybe this is what you're looking for if you're not working on the filesystem

I installed this plugin, it seems to hand once I submit the entry. It says:

"Serendipity is now saving your entry, creating trackbacks and performing possible XML-RPC calls. This may take a while.."

But it never finishes and or refreshes. Does anyone else see this?

I installed announce entries and now get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class pear in /usr/share/php/PEAR.php on line 103

And can't acces my blog

Anyone can help?

Thanks

Hi!

Which serendipity version do you use? You should use at least 1.0.1, and the problem you have should be solved with version 1.1

The problem is that your PHPs include_path is set in a way that does not properly include PEAR library mixed frmo s9y and your server.

If all fails, you can uninstall the "Anounce entries" plugin by using phpMYaDmin and removing the entry from the serendipity_plugins table?

Best regard,s
