### XOOPS WhatsNew Module

### Ping sending

#### Who send ping ?

There are four methods.
(1) An administrator send ping manually.
(2) When displaying a new report block, send ping.
In admin "Preferences" page,
mark "Send Ping" of "What's New" block.
Since ping server may have a slow reaction,
a display of the part and a block becomes slow.
(3) When you access special URL, send ping.
It is assumed that
this function is called periodically by wget or others.
It is necessary to be a server's administrator."
Add The following line to crontab.

11 * * * * usr/bin/wget http : //xxx/modules/whatsnew/bin/update_ping.php?pass=??? -q -O /dev/null

??? is the password of update_ping.php,
which is set up in admin "Preferences" page.
(4) When submit or modify a airtcle, send ping.
This method should be given in the first time.
In order to perform this,
it is necessary to change all the programs of the corresponding modules.

#### Where send ping ?

The following ping server is prepared by the default.

http://rpc.weblogs.com/ http://xxx/modules/whatsnew/bin/server.php (debug use)

Since it is processing in order,
processing time is required by the number of ping servers.
I regard about at least three as enough.
The last ping server is prepared for the debugging use.
Please delete, if a response occurs will be OK.
