There’s nothing to see here. I’m just testing the trackback functionality on our IPS Blog software.
Trackback is an interesting feature. In a way it could be adapted to be used within forum software. You could elect to "ping" a post or topic from another forum when quoting material. The usual PHP limitations apply though; the inability to use fopen_wrappers in some configurations could cause a few minor problems down the road.
Anyway, back to working out how to efficiently compile a bunch of recursive templates in IP.Dynamic.

I think I suggested implementing TrackBack in the suggestions forum before, but if I did it was before the forums were emptied so you could check. Then again if I didn’t I was keeping it a massive secret for me to implement at some undisclosed time in the future in an uberhack.

Matt in regards to the templates, have you had a look at the way smarty uses its system, perhaps you should…
I’m not saying to copy, infact to take a glimpse at it and see the features it has in there.
Trackback is indeed interesting for forums as well. Maybe it could be extended to allow for cross site quoting. This offcourse would only really work if it was adopted as a standard for the major forums systems. Not to mention how to implement it in a way that is easy for users.
