===================================
 trackback - Trackback support.... 
===================================

Summary
=======

This plugin allows pyblosxom to process trackback
http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec pings.


Install
=======

Requires the ``comments`` plugin.  Though you don't need to have
comments enabled on your blog in order for trackbacks to work.

This plugin comes with Pyblosxom.  To install, do the following:

1. Add ``Pyblosxom.plugins.trackback`` to the ``load_plugins`` list
   in your ``config.py`` file.

2. Add this to your ``config.py`` file::

       py['trackback_urltrigger'] = "/trackback"

   These web forms are useful for testing.  You can use them to send
   trackback pings with arbitrary content to the URL of your choice:

   * http://kalsey.com/tools/trackback/
   * http://www.reedmaniac.com/scripts/trackback_form.php

3. Now you need to advertise the trackback ping link.  Add this to your
   ``story`` template::

       <a href="$(base_url)/trackback/$(file_path)" title="Trackback">TB</a>

4. You can supply an embedded RDF description of the trackback ping, too.
   Add this to your ``story`` or ``comment-story`` template::

            trackback:ping="$(base_url)/trackback/$(file_path)"
       />
