remote post and ComeBack Together, Part 1
Here you can grab a little script to send true remote post r1 pings. Download either send-pi.tar.gz or send-pi.zip.
In the archive, you'll find two files:
- mt-www-pi.cgi: place in your base MT directory
- remotepostWww.pm: place in your lib/MT/App/ directory
To use this script, browse on over to your mt cgi path, and bring up mt-www-pi.cgi (or mt-www-pi.pl if you have to rename it). You'll be presented with a (complete) list of entries in your MT install, along with a box for the remote post ping url, and a check box for including the ComeBack URL in the remote post ping. Select your entry, enter the ping url, decide whether or not to include the ComeBack url, and hit the send button. The resulting page will let you know if everything went through okay or not.
For the moment, remote post is storing the ComeBack URL for the original entry in the Keywords field of the entry in the remote post blog. Adding a seperate field to store the ComeBack URL will require a change to a number of MT files, and to the database as well. I can work that up if anybody is interested, but I figure it'd be best to officially integrate remote post and ComeBack into MT instead.
Next: a patched version of the MT::App::Comments module that will send ComeBack pings when appropriate.

Interesting work is afoot in the world of TrackBack and other related concepts. This experimentation has all been very intriguing and worthwhile in our discovery and understanding of the net effects of two-way hyperlinking systems and their social effe... [Read More]

There is no need to install the send-cb files. They were just provided as an example of how to use ComeBack in its initial version. They actually aren't even meant to be used with MT at all.

Hey, I'm about to all of this the big test, but first I have a question. I've installed Post-It, ComeBack (with the latest version of ConfigMgr of course) and this wee script here. Do I still need to plonk in the send-cb bit mentioned here or is that now incorporated in this script? If so, where do I stick it?
I'm home sick, so I may as well play! I'm still not sure I completely follow, but I figure trying it out will help with that. :)
