Description

The trackback auto-discovery plugin implements the auto-discovery mechanism from the MovableType Trackback Technical Specification.

Installation and Setup

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

auto-trackback=org.blojsom.plugin.trackback.AutoTrackbackPlugin

You may then add "auto-trackback" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains. These plugin chains can be found in the individual user's plugin.properties file. For example:

html.blojsom-plugin-chain=auto-trackback

Usage and URL Parameters

Usage

The following is a sample blog entry:

This is my entry title

This is the body of my blog entry. 
This is a ping to some Some URL which the trackback auto-discovery plugin 
will try to discover its proper trackback ping URL and send it to it.

meta-auto-trackback=true

As you will notice here, this demonstrates the use of the meta plugin in conjunction with the trackback auto-discovery plugin. The trackback auto-discovery plugin works by looking for the meta-data auto-trackback which must have a value of true for the plugin to execute the auto-discovery process on the blog entry. After completing trackback auto-discovery, the plugin will write the meta-data auto-trackback-complete with a value of true back to that entry. Note that the auto-trackback plugin should be placed after the meta plugin in one of the flavor-based plugin chains where the auto-trackback plugin is used.
