Is there a way to disable comments and/or trackbacks on my serendipity blog?
Thanks

Garvin, if i follow the FAQ, it would still be possible to receive trackbacks from Spammers, right?
How do i deny trackbacks from external pages instead of just not displaying them? Or did i misunderstood the FAQ?

Hi!
I just appended the FAQ with this:
Code: Select all
You can turn off to receive trackbacks/comments in the configuration of your spamblock plugin. To totally ban trackbacks from your site, you can edit the serendipity file *comment.php* After the first <?php add this:
if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'trackback') die('Disabled');
The other way you have is to edit your .htaccess file and add a mod_rewrite (if your server supports that, of course) rule to block calls to your comment.php:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*type=trackback.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*comment.php.*$ - [F]
HTH,
Garvin
