Re: [Subtext-devs] more testing trackbacks

[Phil H. <ha...@gm...>]

Correct.  Comments do not create trackbacks.  Also, we changed the behavior
so that editing an existing post does not cause a trackback.  Only
publishing a new post.  The reason we made this changes is that .TEXT
traditionally would "trackback bomb" sites if a user made a minor tweak to
the post.


Until we can reliably do a DIFF on an edit, we don't want to send trackbacks
out when editing a published post.

Subject: [Subtext-devs] more testing trackbacks

 

I'm still testing to make sure trackbacks are working perfectly and I have a
comment and a question.

 

The standard trackback functionality seems to be mostly working now that the
security issues are resolved. However, some times trackbacks do not work.
I'm still trying to discover a reproducible set of steps.

 

When trackbacks do not work, I am cross checking with the manual trackback
tool at RedAlt, and it always works. So I do believe there are times when
Subtext doesn't send a trackback. Can anyone suggest a good place to put a
breakpoint that would help me verify this?

 

My question is to you Phil. You left a comment at:

http://haacked.dyndns.org/latest/archive/2006/08/25/3149.aspx#6661

where you said "Let's try an outgoing test. "

 

I assume you wanted to see if that caused any kind of trackback. Did it? I
figured I would replicate what you did and see what happens. As far as I can
tell comments do not cause any trackbacks or pings. I just thought I would
verify whether this is the expected behavior.
