Greetings all, day four of the Great Pligg Upgrade and I've found a problem that I think is easy to fix for someone with some PHP knowledge. That person, sadly, is not me.
Basically, the trackback is working fine in that when a user submits a new story, and the Trackback field is filled out properly in the submission, the PLIGG SITE sends a trackback to the original SOURCE site. This is particularly useful for sites that PLIGG a lot of blogs -- as the trackback often appears in the comments, giving viewers of the comments a chance to click over to the PLIGG SITE (added traffic,etc) via a linkback URL to the PLIG SITE's story page relating to the trackback'd post.
Ok, I know that's a bit confusing, as it literally goes in circles - but try following, as the problem comes next:
Whereas the setting in the Config2.php file gives a name to the commenter (say, PLIGG SITE NAME), it does nothing to change the commenter's URL (say,
http://www.PLIGGSITE.com). The settings for this, I think, are in the libs/trackback.php file.
Currently it is set up as this:
[base_url]/story/story_id (ie.
www.pliggsite.com/story/512)
But it should be:
[base_url]/[pligg_subdir]/story/story_id (ie.
www.pliggsite.com/pliggsubdir/story/512)
It's currently not set up for sites that have installed Pligg in a subdirectory of their main site.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Confirm that it does indeed centre around the libs/trackback.php file?
Thanks a load!!
