I can’t believe I’m about to do this

/**
* Implements hook_node_insert().
*/
function pushhub_node_insert($node) {
if ($node->status && $node->promote) {
pushhub_notify(array($node->nid), 'shared.xml');
}
}

/**
* Put stuff in the queue
*/

$hub_url = variable_get('pushhub_huburl', 'http://example.com/hub');
Resque::setBackend('localhost:6379');
$headers = array('Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$topic_url = url("pushhub/" . $topic, array('absolute' => TRUE));
$payload = array('hub.mode' => 'publish',

$hub_endpoint = $hub_url . "/publish";
# Add the job to the queue
Resque::enqueue('default', 'Post', array($hub_endpoint, $payload,
$headers, $timeout));
}
