One way to use this is in conjunction with the [[!iki plugins/pingee]] +plugin to set up a loosely coupled mirror network, or a branched version of +a wiki. By pinging the mirror or branch each time the main wiki changes, it +can be kept up-to-date. + + \[[!ping from="http://mywiki.com/" + to="http://otherwiki.com/ikiwiki.cgi?do=ping"]] + +The "from" parameter must be identical to the url of the wiki that is doing +the pinging. This is used to prevent ping loops. + +The "to" parameter is the url to ping. The example shows how to ping +another ikiwiki instance. |
