Waypath Hack: Content related random trackbacks fr

  • I got hooked onto the Waypath idea once I saw how it worked. The creators had hacked together a plug-in for MT and Radio. I wanted one for WP and B2. So here it is. Look at the hack code and instructions at https://dinki.mine.nu/word/b2-img/waypath.txt
    In simple words, this hack implements a pre-determined number of unsolicited trackbacks from the world of blogs on <i>your</i> post topic. Very cool way to surf the blogosphere! Imagine writing about the weaknesses of Microsoft RPC and getting 10 related entries from other blogs on the same topic. Information aggregation that is useful! See how it works at https://dinki.mine.nu/weblog/ Click on a post to get the post and related entries. Very configurable. Uses php XML-RPC.

  • LL,
    Actually, if you want your site to be valid XHTML strict, you wouldn’t use the target attribute…it’s not allowed for XHTML strict. Instead, use rel=”external”, then do a similar parse. I just wrote an article on my site about this very thing, since I wanted links opening in a new window to validate. However, my site seems to be down (trouble with my host, I believe, since I can’t even FTP to my account.) Hopefully it’ll be up soon, so check it out here whent it’s up: https://www.tcervo.com/
    Here’s a link to the original article where I found the script.

    @tcervo: My bad. I must have been too tired when I looked at this last night. It works just fine even with the rel=”external” before the href tag. I have the fix documented in the text file linked below.

    Perfect, thanks!

    BTW you can use $single instead of $p.

    @wildduck: It does work in WP1.0+ I have modified the original hack instructions to reflect the changes.

    I have tried to install this but I just can’t make it work. I’m using mod_rewrite so I pasted <?php echo waypath(return_content());?> into my index template after the the_content() call. But it just turns up nothing. No error, just nothing.
    Am I missing something?

    @anon – I had problems putting it in ‘index.php’ so I moved it to wp-comments.php
    Works great from there, and if you want how I’ve got it set up, I’ll help ?

    hi podz i would love if you could share how you have it set up because i am running 1.02 and am getting nothing also!

    Look for a new version in the form of a plugin for 1.2 once the problems with the XMLRPC interface of Waypath are solved.

    plugin would be cool. as i have loads of other blogs, i want waypath on. ??

    hmmm i’ve upgraded to 1.2B and it appears waypath in the script doesn’t connect …
    i wonder how people are still able to run it on their WP sites?
    or is it only the genius l-lizard. hehe…

    i guess i should clarify my error, it is probably on my end somehow:
    Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: xmlrpc_client in /home/site/public_html/my-hacks.php on line 20
    is it from the line being commented out //include(“xmlrpc.inc”); ??

    @anon: not sure. If you could wait a little….LOL

    I am also wondering how this works for 1.2 – it looks like a cool hack but I can’t get it to work! =)
    I guess we are all impatient .. wonder what is wrong with the xmlrpc.php ??

    hmm is this topic dead?
