Disabling and REMOVING trackback links
Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 3:12 pm
I think what many of us are looking for is not a way to mask the problem, but a way to fully remove the trackback feature (short of us hacking the PHP code).
IMHO while there is merit to the feature, I would hazard a guess that it's widespread use is rather limited, and causes most of us more problems than anything (including having to constantly explain to users what trackbacks are and how to use them).
Note that I am aware of the method to disable trackbacks as stated in the FAQ:
In serendipity_config_local.inc.php file insert this line of Code somewhere before the closing ?> tag:
$serendipity['noautodiscovery'] = true;
However, I think we would all prefer a configuration setting to hide/reveal the trackback links altogether.
