Summary

This module contains an XML-RPC extension to support pingback http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback pings.

Setup

You must have the comments plugin installed as well, although you don't need to enable comments on your blog in order for trackbacks to work.

You must add a pingback <link> element to your HTML for auto-discovery. For example, if your site is located at http://foo.com/bar, your header HTML should contain this in its <meta> section:

<link rel="pingback" href="http://foo.com/bar/RPC" />

Note that the URL must be absolute. If your xmlrpc_urltrigger config variable is set to something other than RPC, modify the <link> element accordingly.

This test blog, maintained by Ian Hickson, is useful for testing. You can post to it, linking to a post on your site, and it will send a pingback.
