pingbacks #20

Example at

ttp://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/10/30/Coding-your-own-blog-Pingback-in-php

change this to match our needs but it's helpful for me

Essentially, if the user wants, they can pingback their dd url to us to
include in a "sites that use dd" list - optional [x] in setup/admin page

On install, [x] box for pingback, sends a string to pingback.php on our server 
that
includes a url for an xml entry for board list and other installation 
information. 
This URL must be then manually approved on our end to prevent any kind of
exploitation.   Will work on XML board information later.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<pingback>
  <sitename>573chan</sitename>
  <siteurl>http://573chan.org</sitename>
  <boardlistname>573,Random Board,Combined Games Board,Discussion</boardlistname>
  <boardlistfolder>573,brx,cgb,dis</boardlistfolder>
</pingback>

Obviously there are some issues with this, because someone could have a comma in
their board names

So let's try with š, a random character I got from character map.  Do people 
use
this?  idk!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<pingback>
  <sitename>573chan</sitename>
  <siteurl>http://573chan.org</sitename>
  <boardlistname>573šÿRandom BoardšÿCombined Games BoardšÿDiscussion</boardlistname>
  <boardlistfolder>573šÿbrxšÿcgbšÿdis</boardlistfolder>
</pingback>

Anyway, a button can go in housekeeping to send the pingback file to somewhere 
to be
parsed and checked.  It will only send public boards, not hidden ones.  We 
could also
expand on this to add more fields.

Second idea:  JSON

http://www.json.org/

JSON payload would look something like this

 {
   "site_name": "573chan",
   "site_url": "http://573chan.org",
   "publicboardcount": 4,
   "boards": [
     { "board_1_name": "573",
       "board_1_folder": "573",
       "board_1_variouspostdata": "someinformationidk",
       "board_2_name": "Random Board",
       "board_2_folder": "rnd",
       "board_2_variouspostdata": "someinformationidk",
       "board_3_name": "Combined Games Board",
       "board_3_folder": "cgb",
       "board_3_variouspostdata": "someinformationidk",
       "board_4_name": "Discussion",
       "board_4_folder": "dis",
       "board_4_variouspostdata": "someinformationidk",
     }
   ]
 }

This is much more flexible and we don't have to worry about some weird obscure
character to count on for parsing, and we could turn it into something more 
useful
once we get it.

And the variouspostdata, I'm throwing that in there as an example of expansion.
