[Slashcode-development] trackbacks

[shane <sh...@lo...>]

I saw this Net::TrackBack module 
http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMA/Net-TrackBack-0.21/TrackBack.pm 

so I was looking at it, and got curious.

If you were to, for instance, pullup index.pl to modify it to put a trackback 
link into each story's data structure, ie:

#################################################################
# pass it how many, and what.
sub displayStories {
....
	while ($story = shift @$stories) {
  ...
		if ($user->{seclev} >= 100) {
			push @links, [ "$constants->{rootdir}/admin.pl?op=edit&sid=$story->{sid}", 
'Edit' ];
		}

		# I added sid so that you could set up replies from the front page -Brian
		$tmpreturn .= slashDisplay('storylink', {
			links	=> \@links,
			sid	=> $story->{sid},
		}, { Return => 1});

		$return .= $tmpreturn;

		my $trackback = new Net::TrackBack;


et all, per their example code. My question is this - which URL would you use 
for a story's trackback? the article.pl?sid= ... ? the .shtml?

Which url should a trackback system for Slash use?

After looking at this Net::TrackBack, I don't think it would be a great fit 
for Slash. But, after looking at it's code, I think I understand how the 
trackbacks are supposed to work. I thought I'd whipup a quick hack to do it, 
until I realized there are 2 links for every story, really.

Thanks,
