Can you clarify how external pinging works? My External Ping Events History shows a 3-column table: the last column has date/time stamps, but the first 2 columns are empty. What are the first 2 columns supposed to contain?
I get the same result whether I type http://www.topinvestingtools.com/rp/rpexternal.php in my browser address bar, or ping http://www.topinvestingtools.com/rp/rpexternal.php using another pinging tool I have. Is this working correctly? |

well, it works like this, in 2 ways:
1)
In your blogging script you put
http://www.topinvestingtools.com/rp/rpexternal.php
as ping service
and in RP in automated sites you add your blog url and title and check the "never autoping" option. Then this happens - when you make new post at your blog, your blogging script pings RP and RP checks if the blog url is in your automated sites database and pings the selected services.
2) In your blogging script you put
http://www.topinvestingtools.com/rp/rpturbo.php
as ping service and in your RP in "general settings->approved sites" you put your blog domain. The rest is same as in 1)
The difference between both methods, is that in the 2nd you don't need to add your sites in the automated sites section, but just define their domains in the approved sites section so RP will be able to ping them. Also 2nd method is pretty fast and doesn't save detailed history.
You see blank lines in the table at the external history, because you just open the external ping url in your browser - you don't pass any xmlrpc data as the blog url and title

Well, in my scenario I'm not making posts from an individual blog so there's no blogging script involved. Instead, I'm loading up 100's of websites URLs in the RP automated sites list, and I want to ping them all ONE TIME. Is there any way to ping my automated sites list ONCE using Automated Pinging without using the external pinging tool? RP won't let me enter "0" in the "RePing automatically every___days" field, and it looks like if I check "Never Autoping!" RP won't ping even once unless it receives an external ping.
Thanks,
Scott |

I see, well then external pinging is not what you need. I explained for what it is 
When you need to ping sites, you just enter them as automated sites. The thing about your case is that you need to ping just once. And i haven't thought about such situation when making the script, because regularly people need a site regularly pinged and thats why i made it the script to reping the sites.
What you can do as workaround is import your sites as automated ones, wait RP to ping them all and then just delete them so they won't be pinged again.
I can make some mass one time ping feature for next version
