pingback not working in 0.9.2 ?

1 Jul 14, 2006 14:45    

If I go to Red alt Pingback tool http://www.redalt.com/External/pingback.php and put in http://stalltheball.com/index.php/2006/07/13/leaving_an_online_legacy as a pingback address Red Alt bombs out with the following error

Error.
Fault code: -32700 : parse error. not well formedPOST /xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0
Host: stalltheball.com
Content-Type: text/xml

</params></methodCall>

and in particular

No blog is selected!

Have I missed something in the way I have set up the blog?

Blog A was the one used rather than Blog All as suggested by the docs. But from that error message it would appear that the pingback is getting lost due the software not knowing which blog it refers to.

Trackbacks seem fine.

And while I'm here I notice that the feeds display the full post, is there anyway of setting the feed to display the first few lines only?

Regards

Can you test it using the demo site ( and if you want to test it with the 1.8 release)?

If you can reproduce it there or get another error, I'll look into it - the CVS HEAD does not have "No blog selected" anywhere, so this might be fixed - or fail differently.. ;)

jwtimmons, it seems like for pingbacks the "p=X" param is required.. a post does not get detected by "title=...".

Try finding the ID of the post and replace the "title=..." part in the link by "p=ID".

The pingback code is severely flawed. It is completely removed from version 1.9 .

If you guys are into the xml stuff here, I invite you to rewrite pingback as a nice & clean plugin! :)
