Schadenfreude

I wanted some places to get pinged when I posted. I used the mephisto_post_ping plugin, I simply changed the directory structure and class definition around:

Directory Structure

./lib/article_ping_observer.rb
./lib/mephisto_plugins/post_ping.rb
./lib/config.rb
./README
./init.rb

File Changes

init.rb

# $Id$
require 'mephisto_plugins/post_ping'
ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :article_ping_observer

plugin.rb

module Mephisto
  module Plugins
    class PostPinger < Mephisto::Plugin
      author 'Mark Guzman'
      version '$Rev: 82 $'.gsub( "Rev: ", "" )
      notes "Send Weblogs Pings when articles are published"
      homepage "http://hasno.info/2006/11/11/mephisto-plugins"

      class Schema < ActiveRecord::Migration
        def self.install
        end

        def self.uninstall
        end
      end

    end
  end
end

That’s all I changed. This is my first post since the change, so I’ll see if it works. If not, at least Mephisto doesn’t blow up on startup.

Results

Well,

unable to send xmlrpc weblog ping -> http://www.ralree.info

Seems like a couple might have worked. I’ll keep working on it. But, at least it gets called.

fix, mephisto, plugins, rails, ruby
