Help needed to set GSDONOTPING

[Connie]

I'm having trouble getting my head around the logic of define('GSDONOTPING', 1); in gsconfig.php. I'm probably not the first with this problem, but I can't find anything definitive guidance on the forum.

Which way 'round does it work please and how should it be set to ping search engines.

Incidentally where can I see which search engines are pinged?

here in the WIKI is the answer:

GSDONOTPING enabling this disables the auto-ping of search engines when generating a sitemap

# Ping search engines upon sitemap generation?
#define('GSDONOTPING', 1);

Affected search engines are google.com, search.yahooapis.com, bing.com and submissions.ask.com

Normally, "1" means active or True or enabled, "0" means inactive or False or disabled

My strategy to understand the settings:
I say the word loudly:

GS DO NOT PING , so when the argument is "1" , it means YES I DO NOT PING ;=)
