trackback to typepad blog

I'd like to send a trackback to a typepad blog called "Davids Medienkritik".
When I use his TrackBack URL
http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/1797502, then the trackback does not work. Users who click on my link to this URL receive an error message:
Mit dieser XML-Datei sind anscheinend keine Style-Informationen verknüpft. Nachfolgend wird die Baum-Ansicht des Dokuments angezeigt.
-
<response>
<error>1</error>
<message>Need a Source URL (url).</message>
</response>
Therefore I have used his permalink
http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/20 ... ain_1.html
This enables users of my site to click on this link and get to his entry, but Davids Medienkritik does not know my trackback...
Here's my blog entry:
http://atlanticreview.org/archives/94-M ... oblem.html
What shall I do?
Do I have use the trackback URL and wait some hours for the trackback to manifest itself and the error message to disappear?

The correct URL to use would be "
http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/20 ... ain_1.html"
So if in your entry body or extended area you add this:
Code: Select all
<a href="http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2005/02/welcome_to_main_1.html">Mein Trackback</a> dazu.
then Serendipity should send the proper trackback automatically. When saving an entry, what does your s9y report? It should tell you which links it tries to autodetect, something like this:
Code: Select all
• Überprüfe http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2005/02/welcome_to_main_1.html auf mögliche Trackbacks...
Sende Trackback zu URI http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/1797502...
• Trackback erfolgreich
• Überprüfe http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2339 auf mögliche Trackbacks...
• Trackback failed: Keine Trackback-URI gefunden.
Der Eintrag wurde gespeichert
In fact I just tried to trackback to that link, and as you can see frmo the output above, it worked.
The trackback may fail if your webserver does not allow outgoing http connections!

When saving an entry, what does your s9y report?
Can't remember.
I checked the code, which looked a bit different than the one you mentioned due to changing layout etc. Hmm, that shouldn't be the problem...
Anyway, now, I created a new entry with that trackback and it worked. Thanks, Garvin
I have another entry, which did not send a trackback either. I have created this entry new and remembered to look at the error message, which was that the link refers to a page that is too large (too many kb). Can I change the maximum kb somehow or is that not a good idea?
Best wishes,
Josh

You can change that limit, yes. Please look in your serendipity_config.inc.php file, there is a trackback file size limit in a variable somewhere at the top of the file.
