PingCrawl v2 Review

[guerilla]

The XML-RPC interface of WordPress, or your own that's goes straight to the DB layer?

The former.

I don't know much about code and whatnot. Am I just a retard?

It's possible, but most of us are retards so you are in good company.

All this talk of xml-rpc made me revisit this post: Automated Data Integration | Contempt

I'm getting these errors:

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 2: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /xxxxx/fxxxxz/public_html/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/pingcrawl2.php on line 121

PM me more details, such as the url - the tag you used - etc. This IS in alpha, so it's possible my code is buggy. Looks like the feed to be parsed of possible related blogs is getting jacked.

The former.

Then this should still invoke the update / publish event stack.. can you put PingCrawl2 on one of those and tell me if it works?

Update - I just released 2.02 which supports post that have no tags. This should help with splogs

Will do tomorrow. Most of the XML-RPC publishing I do are to WPMU hosts, so I can't upload plugins. I will have to test it by remote posting to one of my own blogs.

I think I found your problem. The else statement around line 119-121.

I changed it to this:

else{
  #$feed=simplexml_load_string($rss);
  $feed = $rss;

 

[LogicFlux]

I think the real problem is in getRSS. Sometimes you return raw xml and sometimes you return an object. You should probably choose one. I assume the change I made only works because the SimplePie class isn't included.

I think I fixed it. Do you mind testing? PingCrawl 2.04

Just looked at the diff. Don't see why that wouldn't work.
I'm going back to the old line 91 before I start using it though.

 

[teampl4y4]

Okay ... 2.08 it is. PingCrawl 2 is now in BETA. Anyone who can test, I would be much appreciative. http://joshteam.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/pingcrawl2/

Testing it is, that I will do.

::emp::

PS: Yoda apparently breakfasted have I.

 

[guerilla]

I completely forgot about testing this. So busy...
