Version 0.2 of the del.icio.us trackback extension

Posted by Chris Roos Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:30:00

I finally got round to compiling the del.icio.us trackback extension I wrote about a while back.

You can install it from the installation.html1 page on the del.icio.us trackbacks google group. Feel free to use that group to post any questions you have too.

Current features:

  • Scans the html of the page you’re bookmarking looking for a link (anchor) with a rel attribute whose value is trackback.
  • Sends a request to the trackback URI if it was found.
  • Records (by adding the ‘dtb-sent’ tag) the sending of the trackback so that we can avoid sending multiple trackbacks to the same site.
  • Records the success (‘dtb-success’ tag) or failure (‘dtb-failure’) of the trackback request.

That’s all for now.
