Support pingback about known

[benwerd]

Idno does actually support outgoing pingback; it doesn't have an incoming pingback endpoint though.

Probably should. Although, the wordpress webmention plugin does the same - outgoing pingback, incoming webmention. Which means I still can't comment on your posts ;)

Piping a pingback page through the same MF parser would breath life back into the old platforms with minimum effort.

@aaronpk actually wrote some great code to do this, over at https://github.com/aaronpk/Pingback - I'll look at writing a plugin.

Nice.

Looks like you could just wire up his service, which might work - depends whether you want to keep idno "pure", or support legacy stuff natively.

The easy version would be to use pingback.me's pingback->webmention service. All it would take is adding this line to shell.tpl.php:

<link rel="pingback" href="http://pingback.me/webmention?forward=<?=urlencode(\Idno\Core\site()->config()->url.'webmention/')?>" />

@aaronpk Oh! Are you cool with that? I saw you weren't open for new signups, and was considering installing over on my own server.

@mapkyca The rule I've made for idno is, anything that deals with external, specific sites must be an external plugin. Anything that deals with standards can be part of trunk. (So, eg, Twitter integration is external, but webmention and webfinger are part of the main codebase.)

[aaronpk]

@benwerd yeah totally! It doesn't actually require an account to use the proxy service. I don't mind setting people up with accounts either, I just don't have a web interface to sign up yet :)

@aaronpk Beautiful! Thank you! @mapkyca Support via an external plugin will likely show up this evening my time ...

Sweet guys!
