Trackbacks working on my blog

March 29, 2005

I hopefully have trackbacks working on my blog now. If you want to test the methods given in my trackbacks article you can trackback to this post.

Here's some code I use to check and see if my trackbacks was successful:

<cfset tbError = ReReplaceNoCase(cfhttp.filecontent, ".*<error>([01])</error>.*", "\1")>
<cfif tbError EQ 1>
	<cfset tbMessage = ReReplaceNoCase(cfhttp.filecontent, ".*<message>([^<>]+)</message>.*", "\1")>
	<cfoutput>Track Back Error: #tbMessage#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
	<cfoutput>TrackBack Successful</cfoutput>
</cfif>

It's using regular expressions, but you could also just as easily parse the XML with XmlParse.

Pete: Unless you've got some industrial-strength spam control running in the background, make sure you don't add any TB autodiscovery elements to your pages. 'Cause if you do, the bots will find you, and you'll wake up one morning with a few thousand Trackbacks for poker and drugs.

Roger,

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't planning on adding autodiscovery.

Heh. Looks like the junkers found you anyway. Old "Jhony" boy is a pest over on my weblogs as well. I see you have the "respect!" guy as well.

I have found keywords inadequate, especially in the generic form of "if one of these words shows up, junk it". I have, however, done well by using regular expressions targeted at the various fields (comment text, homepage URL, email address, etc.). For instance, consider Jhony boy. If you look for the RE "^from" for the weblog title, you'd shut him down. OTOH, if you just looked for the keyword "from", you'd block way too much stuff.
