Trackbacks for "future" articles go out immediatel

[Zugschlus]

Hi,

I have written an article to be published tomorrow at noon. In that article, I have linked to an earlier article.

When I saved the new article, a trackback was immediately issued, and part of the article that should only be published tomorrow was already published as part of the trackback, which links to a permalink that does not yet have any content.

Greetings
Marc

Yes, trackbacks cannot be send scheduled because "scheduling" is not really part of HTTP and would require cronjobs. Cronjobs however are not often available for users.

Would you suggest to not send a trackback at all? But actually I suggest using the manual trackback plugin and deactivate it manually for entries that you do not yet want to send a trackback.

It would be a workaround to send the trackback when the article is rendered for the first time - but no error messages could be delivered at that time, and there is no guarantee that the article will be rendered eventuelly.

I'd vouch for not sending out trackbacks for articles to be published in the future and clearly saying so when the article is saved.
