can’t run trackback!

If I could see your site, I could try to help more ?
I could try to trackback one of your entries on my blog ?

@podz:
Unfortunately I’m running it on a local lan, I’ll see if I can get this baby out to the internet…
@laughinglizard:
Thanks, I’lltry it an let you know what happened ??
just to check if I understood:
Without that changes WP can’t have trackback running without mod_rewrite enabled, right?

Thanks, I changed the function but it doesnt seem to solve the problem:
(running WP version 1.0.1)
I tried with a friendof my: my WP correctly sends the trackback to a post on his site.
The problem is I can’t “receive” (or at least I can’t see) trackback from another post…
Any hint?

Just an update:
In the db, table wp_comments, column comment_content, the trackback I received are inserted.
So it looks like is a “display” problem: when I read the comments WP shows ‘regular’ comments, pingback but not trackback…
could it be?

An other update:
In the db, table wp_comments, when the comment is a trackback (I believe they are marked with <trackback />) the column comment_post_ID contains 0 instead of the real post_ID.
Then, when wp shows the comments related to this post that trackback comments aren’t picked up…
Now I’ll try to investigate why the post_ID isn’t inserted in the table..

So the problems seems to be in wp-trackback.php:
the post_ID is taken from $tb_id as in the following lines:

$tb_id = explode('/', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI']);
$tb_id = intval($tb_id[count($tb_id)-1]);
....
....
....
$comment_post_ID = $tb_id;

Now, is obvious that if we have the trackback url formatted as:
https://localhost/digitaldivide/wp-trackback.php?p=21
nothing meaningful can be ‘exploded’
I tried changing the explode(‘/’ with explode(‘p=’ but without any result…

Interesting how the same problem can get so different answers:
Bad trackback link. mod_rewrite problem ?

@_mf__: yes ??
Now I solved the problem:
As far as I understood the problem was that all the WP function dealing with trackback are written as we can use the mod_rewrite.
So the post_id wasn’t passed to the wp_trackback.php file…
Now I changed the trackback() function in function.php file and some lines in wp_trackback.php…
At this time the trackback are working…
I’ll tweak some things then I’ll post here my changes…
ciao
