Update Pings per Author?

  • Well, I never seem to get any replies to my questions around here, but I’m gonna ask anyway ??

    I have multiple authors posting exlusively to their own categories. Evertime one of them publishes an entry the update services are pinged with the URL for the main blog. I would like the update services to be pinged with the URL to the specific author’s category who posted instead. how could this be done?

    I’ve looked at the weblogping() function and the generic_ping() function and I can’t tell where they are getting the URL that they send to the update services in the ping to even begin figuring out how to modify it. Any help is much appreciated.

  • Go back to weblog_ping() and look at:

    $home = trailingslashit( get_option('home') );

    Ah thanks! You are the man… or woman, as the case may be. I was mistaking all of the lines that followed the //comment about debugging as pertaining to debugging. Doh!

    Well, that was indeed very helpful. Unfortunately, I’ve now noticed that pingomatic isn’t being pinged at all from my blog. And that’s without actually making any modifications yet.

    I had originally deleted the url from my sites to ping list in options. After putting it back in, pingomatic doesn’t get pinged at all. It used to work fine. But I removed it because I didn’t want the main blog to get listed and was having everyone ping manually with their URLs.
