Interesting about Joomla! CMS

As I already wrote earlier, in Joomla! there are no tools for automatic pinging xml-rpc servers (e.g., blogsearch.google.com). I promised, that I’ll write a component which will correct this situation. Such component is not written yet, but I can offer you the beta-version of component “Google AutoPing” which sends “ping” to blogsearch.google.com at displaying of new pages or any changes in contents of pages (exactly at changes in mosMainBody, i.e. changes in contents of modules or templates replacement are not considered).

Installation of the component includes three stages:

1. Installation of component Google AutoPing. At installation the opportunity of connection with a server blogsearch.google.com will be checked up.
2. Modification in a file /includes/frontend.php: (line 289)
   change line
   <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename; ?>" href="<?php echo $link_file; ?>" />
   to
   <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename; ?>" href="<?php echo $link_file; $GLOBALS['rss_link']=$link_file; ?>" />
3. Modification in a file /index.php: (line 279)
   add at the end of file after
   doGzip();
   the line
   require($mosConfig_absolute_path.'/administrator/components/com_googleautoping/autoping.php');
