Pingback to Wordpress fails, url not found

Post by onli »

It's kind of ironic: When writing about a post about trackback/pingback-standards the trackback and pingback-generation fails.

I try to link from http://www.onli-blogging.de/index.php?/ ... backs.html to http://stefan.waidele.info/2008/10/17/t ... wordpress/ and especially http://www.miradlo.net/bloggt/tipps/lie ... mment-2284 . The messages:

Code: Select all

Wenn die Sitemap noch nicht an www.google.com gemeldet wurde, dann kann es mit diesem Link getan werden.
Wenn die Sitemap noch nicht an submissions.ask.com gemeldet wurde, dann kann es mit diesem Link getan werden.
Alternativ kann sie auch in die robots.txt eingefügt werden.

The search don't find anything about faultCode 16 and I can't explain why wordpress can't find the link. Sure, I use a custom markup-plugin, but thought only the html is important, which seems quite correct. Or is the generated title "Liebe Entwickler von Blogsoftware,  miradlo bloggt   " the problem, that wordpress can't handle the  ? But that wouldn't explain the second error.

Hi!

Both pingback fault codes come from Wordpress, maybe their blogs are pingback disabled. This error does not come from s9y itself.

Both WP blogs do not have the necessary RDF metainformation for a valid trackback. thus you would need to install the s9y manual trackback plugin and enter the trackback URL manually.

Hi Garvin
uteles Blog enabled the RDF-Tags and the trackback-generation now succeded. Does serendipity not/no longer try to guess the trackback-url if no RDF-Tags are found?

I'll forward the responsibility of Wordpress in the pingback-case.

Hi!

s9y 1.4 should try the /trackback/ url...?!

That's what I thought. And http://www.miradlo.net/bloggt/tipps/lie ... /trackback is really the trackback-URL. So I thought it could've work without the RDF-tags. Or are they necessary in every case if not using the plugin?

Hi!

S9y only supports automatic trackback; if you enter any URL that is already a trackback URL, the trackback detection fails. So if you enter a direct TB url, you must use the manual TB url plugin.

Please check:
I’ve asked someone using a serendipity blog. Serendipity searches for the rdf-trackback inside the body of a post. Therefore, I don’t think it will help if the data occurs in the header instead of the body.
Well, please be so kind to tell them that is very wrong. They should look into the area too, since a least some themes add it in there due to the fact that some autodiscovery scripts only grab the first couple of lines of the file…

Hi!

Serendipity searches for RDF inside the WHOLE HTML of a blog, so both body and the head.

Which blog did you try to trackback to that has RDf inside the head and it didn't work? This should work.

Onli tried with Ute (the link in my posting above).

It is really annoying that there is no common interpretation of the standards which all blog systems obey.

This is not to blame anyone.

Well, that's kind of a misunderstanding on the side of the wordpress-guy. I told ute that RDf was located in the body while we tested it, she wrote that body is ok, that didn't mean the head ain't checked at all.
