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:

   <!--

   <rdf:Description
        about="$(base_url)/$(file_path)"
        dc:title="$(title)"
        dc:identifier="$(base_url)/$(file_path)"
        trackback:ping="$(base_url)/trackback/$(file_path)"
   />
   </rdf:RDF>
   -->
