PingThis SMF Mod

[Afro]

Very good then, I am sure you will see positive results in due time.
It works for me ..

[InfoStrides]

Thank you Infostrides,

I've made the changes on my Ping account and will let everyone know the results. 

Also, you might want to include this useful tidbit of advice on your thread here:
http://www.theinfostrides.com/index.php?topic=4273.0

Could save some frustration for others doing the same thing.

Thanks for this observation and it has been done accordingly.

@attivepatriot
Right. Topics more than 20 characters are automatically shortened by ping.
Doing what infostrides said up there will correct that for you.
You also have no reason to complain about the hits you got instantly.
This is a free mod. Either use it or leave it if you are not convinced it works.

I like things that work and I complain when they do not work the way they should.
That being said, I jumped the gun a bit on my complaints when I found no way to control the Ping feed and everyone that came to the site faced a login screen.  It did, in fact, bring increased traffic to the site but 98% left when faced immediately with a log-in screen.  Increased hits on my website mean nothing if people don't stay.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know how it goes.  I do remain quite hopeful after changing the Default Settings with Ping.

Good! We are all hear to share and retrieve knowledge. A learning process for all.

Quick update for those considering using Ping.

After changing my setting in the Ping account how Infostrides mentioned above, the problem I had was corrected.

That being said, I see great potential in using Ping for increasing traffic to your site and would definitely recommend it.

I'll be tracking my google analytics and adsense and let you guys know the results in a month or so.

Nice that you got the settings done. Wait for that magic, I bet it!

Very good then, I am sure you will see positive results in due time.

Thanks for your comments 'Afro'. It indeed works very well. I confessed!

I have some questions for the MOD author

"PingThis SMF Mod | InfoStrides"

That is how this mod look on my package list.
It is the only mod that has a website name on it.

I also see a line of url infostrides garbage inside my index.template,php file, which as it may sound is a security risk.

What is exactly your motive? Looking for back link i guess ? Well the search engines cannot see it because its not an out put link.

What other mods do you see custom url embedded inside it ? If you want to add a custom website for your mod, try to create a template file for it and add it as a copyright, not inside people's index.template.php file.

I am going to report this mod as unsafe unless you remove that instantly.
This is open source and not advertising medium.

The name you're seeing is not an issue. That is the name of the mod.

Secondly, what you see in your index.template.php is a javascript for the mod. You don't have to be giving me such order. You're not paying for the mod. It is free and optional for you to install. Please note that if this mod is unsafe, SMF Customisation Team would not have approved it.

Anyway, It is a mod in progress. Your remarks have been taken as feedback for future improvement.

Thank you.

PingThis.js

Would you check red signed line again. Because it causes pingthis icon not to be displayed in many sites. I've just edited this line to according to my site's path as like as     /board/Themes/default/images/pingthis.png

The mod only work with default theme. You can follow these steps to manually edit it for your custom theme:

1. In your theme directory, go to ./Themes/*****/index.template.php, then do the following

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Output any remaining HTML headers. (from mods, maybe?)

Add Before:

Code Select Expand

//PingThis SMF Mod Starts Here
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/PingThis.js"></script>';
//PingThis SMF Mod Ends Here

2. In your theme directory, go to ./Themes/*****/Display.template.php, then do the following

Find:

Code Select Expand

</tr>';
if (!empty($settings['display_who_viewing']))

Add Before:

Code Select Expand


';
if (!empty($modSettings['pingthis_on']))
echo '
<td class="floatright">
<script language="javascript">
pingthis();
</script>
</td>';
echo '


Note: where you have ****** means your custom theme name.

I hope it helps. Thanks.
