# 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:RDF
       xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
       xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
       xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">
       <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>
       -->
