Trackbacks MTOS 4.1

Vote 1 Vote

Has anyone gotten Trackbacks working in MTOS 4.1?

The only documentation I've found for setting this up seems to be quite old. I've found documentation that says it should work out of the box, but that's doesn't seem to be true. The old documentation that talks about how to set it up seems to get me down the road, but now I'm getting this error:

You must define a Ping template in order to display pings.

I have not idea how to define a "Ping" template in MTOS 4.1. I see where mt-tb.cgi tries to load a template of type ping but not sure how I can create one of those.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

  • I've figured out what I was missing.

    I still think some updated documentation is necessary here. The problem I had seemed to be a missing include, I'm still testing though.

  • The biggest problem I ran into was having to manually update the database to set one of templates for trackback to type of pings: update mttemplate set templatetype='pings' where templateid=123 and templateblog_id=2;

  • This is very weird. Are you upgrading from a previous version of MT. TrackBacks should just work.

    You can also investigate my Pingback plugin I am hacking on (see majordojo.com for info on that).
