This hack allows you to ping the Technorati aggregator when you update your weblog.

Insert this function in the b2-include/b2functions.php file or in an external included file:
Code:

function pingTechnorati($blog_ID = 1)
{
   global $use_technoratiping, $blogname,$siteurl,$blogfilename;
   if ((!(($blogname=="my weblog") && ($siteurl=="http://example.com") && ($blogfilename=="b2.php"))) &&
   (!preg_match("/localhost//",$siteurl)) && ($use_technoratiping))
   {
      $client = new xmlrpc_client("/rpc/ping", "rpc.technorati.com", 80);
      $message = new xmlrpcmsg("weblogUpdates.ping", array(new xmlrpcval($blogname),
                                                           new xmlrpcval($siteurl."/")));
      $result = $client->send($message);
      if (!$result || $result->faultCode())
         return(false);

      return(true);
   }
   else
      return(false);
}

Then, In the b2config.php file set the $use_technoratiping variable:
Code:
$use_technoratiping = 1;

Finally, modify the 'post' case in the b2edit.php file:
Code:

   pingWeblogs($blog_ID);
   pingCafelog($cafelogID, $post_title, $post_ID);
   pingBlogs($blog_ID);
   pingTechnorati($blog_ID); /* <--- ADD THIS LINE   */


These instrucion are also available in the Technorati developers Wiki and, in Italian, on my Web site.

Thanks for the function. Smile I found an error, though.

The line...

Code:

(!preg_match("/localhost//",$siteurl)) && ($use_technoratiping))


should be

Code:

(!preg_match("/localhost/",$siteurl)) && ($use_technoratiping))
