Problems with trackback

[Sblanco]

Hi again:

I'v installed the event plugin for trackbacks, but before and now, I always get the same error message when sending a trackback:

Something like: "Impossible to send trackback, we cannot connect with port 80"

Some idea?

Thanks in adavance

This means that your webserver cannot connect to other hosts, maybe because of Firewall or Network restrictions...please check with your system admin.

Today I wrote
http://www.shopanbieter.de/news/archive ... ehbar.html
which should have sent a trackback to
http://www.ibusiness.de/members/aktuell ... 45506.html

But Trackback failed, error message states, that no trackback-URL had been found.
Still I can see the trackback-URL in this page - what is wrong with that?

(Normally trackbacking works well with our system...!)

When I open this URL I get a HTTP Authentication window. This means that any trackbacks are blocked because Serendipity does not know how to Authenticate to that link!

Oh. Funny - how do they think trackbacking will work? I'll have to ask them...

Yes, I'd also say that trackbacking makes no sense for them.

I have the same error message, example:
My post is http://top-pc.homeunix.net/s9y/index.ph ... eccee.html
trackback to http://www.multispace.idv.tw/canvas/blo ... k.php?p=27

But I can send trackback to the site with WordPress.

Guest,

your target page of WordPress does not contain the RDF information that is REQUIRED to fulfill the Trackback Specification. That's why s9y cannot send a trackback to that page because it does not specify a valid trackback target.

You can send a trackback though if you use a recent s9y version and install the "manual trackback" plugin frmo our additional plugins (via spartacus or download the file through ViewCVS) and then use the URL
"http://www.multispace.idv.tw/canvas/blo ... k.php?p=27" to send the manual trackback to.

Or you could tell the author of the blog to please insert the required RDF information (that comes with WP usually) into his template again.

I have tried "manual trackback" version 1.9, click "Allow granular control over how trackbacks are sent when creating entries" and fill the URL in "Additional links to trackback", but still not work.

I also tried set $serendipity['noautodiscovery'] = true; or not
with "manual trackback" plugin.

PS: My s9y is s9y_200509191337.tar.gz

Hi!

But WordPress can send TrackBack?

WordPress does not support automatic trackback detection, so you always need to enter the URL manually. S9y does the same with the manual trackback plugin; only the automatic detection does not work on crippled WP blogs.

I have tried "manual trackback" version 1.9, click "Allow granular control over how trackbacks are sent when creating entries" and fill the URL in "Additional links to trackback", but still not work.

You did use the URl I posted, right? Because you may not use the URL you posted earlier...

I also tried set $serendipity['noautodiscovery'] = true; or not
with "manual trackback" plugin.

If you want to set trackbacks, you MAY NOT set this variable! It *deactivates* sending trackbacks.

I tried another s9y site with trackback:

My post http://top-pc.homeunix.net/s9y/index.ph ... -user.html
but the site trackback-url did not show up my post?

I had unset $serendipity['noautodiscovery'] = true;
use default with "manual trackback" plugin.
ie. I did not do anything.

[garvinhicking]

I just sent you a trackback with recent Serendipity 0.9-alpha5. It works.

Please paste exactly what you entered in your entry to get the trackback. You must remove all "noautodiscovery" variables you set, not just set it to "true" or "false".

If you send a trackback to a s9y blog you don't need to insert the URL in the manual trackback plugin.

I honestly don't know what you are doing, maybe you can send a screenshot of how your entry form looks like before you click on "Save"?

And I send back to you, it works too!
But the other site won't work, I'll try again!

Thanks a lot!
