static-ping

Simple feed ping notifier for static sites (i.e. Jekyll). Currently supports Ping-O-Matic and PubSubHubbub.

Setup & Install

Update the $config var in ping.php to match your site's information.
Make sure ping.php is deployed with your site to a publicly accessible URL.
Be sure to add the correct hub information to your RSS/Atom feed. (You can probably stick with Google's as in the examples below.)

For Atom:

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <link rel="hub" href="https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com"/>
  ...
</feed>

And for RSS:

<rss xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <channel>
    <atom:link rel="hub" href="https://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com"/>
    ...
  </channel>
</rss>

Usage

Run the script. Either in a browser, or via your own code that makes an HTTP Get/Post call to it. For simplicity, setup a post-deploy script that triggers it when your site is deployed.
