Hi,

I have the following code in http://dev-blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/ar/global/_entries is showing up the trackback urls.

<h3 class="title">Post a trackback</h3>
        <div class="post">
            
                Ping this URL to post a trackback:

                {exp:trackback:url}
                
        </div>

I worked on adding the codes in bits to the global/_entries template and I was able to fix the issue only on http://dev-blogs.cisco.com as per “http://ellislab.com/forums/viewreply/535160/”

The same code not working on http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/ar/, but I see the trackback ping url in the <rdf></rdf> code. Both sites are site up exactly same.

Could I modify the Current mcp.trackback.php and extract track backurl function.

Pls let me know how to debug this issue. Pls tell me if there any other alternatives for this. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Could some one from EE suppport look in to this issue as this one of the valuable feature to bloggers.

The http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk is created using Mutlisite Module.

I have the following piece of code in a template:

<a href="http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/vis_trackback_test/index">http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/vis_trackback_test/index</a>

<h4>Trackback Test</h4>

<p>                    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="ar" limit="1"}<br />
                       <a href="http://{url_title_path=ar/index}">{title}</a></p>

<p>                       <br />
                    {/exp:weblog:entries}</p>

<h2>Trackback URL:</h2>
<p>{exp:trackback:url}

The trackback url does not show up on http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/vis_trackback_test/index

Thanks

Hello,

Is any one in this community having the same issue as explained above?

Thanks

tsoares, can you please clarify which problems you are experiencing? What version and build of EE are you using? Do you’ve got a link?

Hi Ingmar,

The version of ExpressionEngine is 1.6.6 and Build:  20081212. The issue is Trackback ping url is showing up as blank(not displaying at all) in production environment blogs that were built using the Multisite module and it is working fine in dev environment. I used the code snippet that was mentioned in 1st post of the issue.

I have done all different types of debugging as per my knowledge and it would be highly appreciated if you could help on fixing this issue.

I will post the all the debugging that I have done for looking in to this issue.

Thanks

I would recommend to update to the latest version and build, which is 1.6.7 20090515. It’s a recommended security update. That said, if it works on one server and not the other, there are probably some differences in the setup. Anything you can put your finger on? Are you using the exact same code?

Hi Ingmar,

The dev site was set up under the prod root director. The prod and dev are on same server.

I have checked all the code under dev and prod sites & directories are same.

Could you pls tell me how can I debug why same piece of code with Multisite Module is not working.

Thanks,

VishnuP ,

As in previous thread, trackbacks do show up as long as you view that template as a single entry page

http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/vis_trackback_test/together_we_lead—_2009_cisco_partner_summit/

Thanks John,

I see that when segment_2 =“entryname” on a single entry page the trackback url is showing up.

Pls tell me what could casue the trackback ping url not display when segment_2 = “comments” on single entry page.

For example the trackback ping url was not rendering/displaying on : http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/ar/comments/cisco_partner_summit_takes_off_today/#comments

Thanks Again

can you explain your URL structure here?  is ‘ciscotalk’ a template group or a renamed index.php?

Hi Greg,

http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/ is a site created using the multisite module.
ar is the blogname.

There is a one index.php under ciscotalk directory.

Pls let me know if you like me to explain any more details.

Thanks

it is working fine in dev environment.

What you got going on in your htaccess?

Hi John,

.htaccess has the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ciscotalk/index.php/$1 [L]

As I mentioned earlier dev site and prod site hosted on the same server.

Pls let me know what steps we could take to fix this issue. I have enabeled all different debugging options and those did not help to fix this issue.  We will appreciate if you could tell more steps to debug intensively to fix this issue.

Thx!

what does your code look like where the trackback URL is not showing up?  I can’t tell where it should be here:  http://blogs.cisco.com/ciscotalk/ar/comments/cisco_partner_summit_takes_off_today/

Hi Greg,

I have been asked to disable track back ping url the code. So I commented out the code, here is the commented code.

<h3 class="title">Post a trackback</h3>
        <div class="post">
            
                Ping this URL to post a trackback:

                {exp:trackback:url}
                
        </div>

The Post a trackback section is supposed to be displayed as shown at url:

http://blogs.cisco.com/news/comments/saudi_bloggers_share_life_experience_with_orphans_over_cisco_telepresence/#comments

Pls let me know would you be able to understand the issue that I mentioned & share more debugging tips for fixing this issue.

Thanks
