Ping website (RSS)

[proxydesign]

Hello,

Is it possible to make a plugin which pings a users website, for then automatically add their first blogpost in a list with image?

Something like this: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.blogglisten.no/ping&act=url Then: http://imgur.com/opTfYkb

I know you have a RSS-feed-importer plugin, but with this plugin I mean to add all pinged websites in one simple list.

Thank you.

Think you would need some kind of duplicate of our plugin. Thing is, you need to store all your pinged posts in your database in order to get the newest, not sure that is wise thing to do.
You can also with each and every pageload gather all member feed urls and query them each and every time, but i really not suggest that. Neither of the two.

I think the upcoming user blogs plugin will be a lot better than what you try to do. Encourage members to write posts for their own good and as side effect your website gets content. Think thats better than to rely on rss

Well, I see that Basti.
Well, another question. Is it possible to make a plugin which automatically catch the users websites RSS-address, so they don't need to add it manually?

that is possible if they use the correct meta tags identifying their feed URL.
