Ok done, I proposed a mini spec, it probably needs some more thought. I also made a mistake in my previous post to Frank because the code I wrote was for pinging a service like technorati (the two line groovy code). To be able to trackback from XWiki to a trackback enabled application is a little more complicated and has an impact on the user interface. http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-863 Luis On 2/14/07, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

Guys,

It would be nice to attach all this in a jira issue so that it doesn't get lost.

Thanks -Vincent

Hi Frank,

I wrote a simple demo to illustrate a way to implement receiving trackbacks in XWiki via an XWiki TrackbackClass and a simple Ping script. I have tested it on a standalone XWiki on my laptop. You need programming rights so you will not be able to do this on the XWiki.com hosted service. Just import the attached xar file in your XWiki installation and check it out. It may not work for you and there may be plenty of security or anti-spam issues but you might be able to tweak it to get what you want in an intranet environment although it may require some expertise in XWiki application development to do so.

It's quite easy to ping a trackback enabled application from XWiki using groovy and the XML RPC apache library. I wrote a script like this quite a long time ago, but unfortunately I don't remember where. It's about two lines of code. This might again seem difficult if you are not familiar with XWiki application programming.

If you can build on this to help implementing it like Ludovic says that would be great ! It would probably require writing a plugin with an action for doing this right.

Back to bizdev work after this small coding interlude !

Hi,

is there a functionality in XWiki to send link information to a trackback enabled application like Jira or receive this kind of informations? And if not, what would be the easiest way to do this?

We would like to use XWiki in our company as a knowledge base. And if there are automatically created links between jira and XWiki (in both directions) this would be great.

For all of you who don't know what trackback is: http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec

Bye Frank
