MSM related trackback URL issue

Date: 07/15/2008 Severity: Major
Status: Resolved Reporter: Dirk Jesse
Version: EE 1.6.4 Assigned To: Not Assigned

Details

I’ve installed MSM to split my old EE installation with blogs to two sites.

I duplicated my blog entries from site 1 to work on the new site 2 with some real content. Everything worked fine with the MSM patch (http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/84227/) and my comments. Now the new site is allmost finished. Now I checked the trackback URLs in the new blog and discovered bug, that - as I think - comes with MSM.

Any trackback-URLs of the duplicated blog entries point to the old blog. The {exp:trackback:url} tag generates wrong entry-IDs (the old ones) in the trackback-URL. On the other side, the RDF-comment contains the correct entry-ID of the duplicated blog entry.

I’ve verified this behavior with new blog entries in the new blog, and there everything works fine. So the problem only occours with the duplicated blog entries.

Update: EE also seems to listen (in some cases) to the trackback preferences of the old blog/site for duplicated entries. Preferences changes in the new blog do not have an effect on duplicated entries, but on new entries.

In detail (TB preferences on the new site):
* Randomize Trackback URL - works on new entries | doesn’t work on duplicated entries
* Use URL Titles in entry identifier URLs? - doesn’t work at all, EE always uses entry-ID’s on duplicated and new entries (even when set in old blog preferences)
*Add Trackback Auto-discovery code to your pages? - works correct in both, duplicated and new entries on the new site.
