Please note:
Trackback for articles is not a comment system, it only handles trackbacks and pingbacks, so no need to leave test comments on my homepage! If you don't know what trackbacks and pingbacks are, have a look at wikipedia before using the component.
Prerequisites:
Joomla 1.5.x, for pingbacks: enabled webservice (in the Joomla configuration) and PHP with cURL support.
Installation:
install the component (two plugins and a module will be installed automatically). Tweak all the parameters (component, plugins and module) to your needs.
Usage:
When accessing an article (in frontend), a trackback URL is displayed and the header information for pingback is added. If possible (i.e. if logged in), it is possible to send a trackback to a remote site. When adding a new article, the text is scanned for external links and pingbacks are sent to the respective sites.
