[PATCH] blog-wide ping disabling

Reported by: anonymous Assigned to: scott
Priority: low Milestone: 4.0

Description

Typo has only support for disabling pings per article. So if you first allow pings to articles and one day you decide to deactivate the pings you must edit each article or change the database table row for each article.

I thought it would be a good option that you can disable pings for all available and future articles with one checkbox. It won’t change any article. So if you decide to go back to old behavior you simple enable the checkbox and your blog can be pinged again.

I've updated this very useful patch to Typo revision 1055 and did a little re-wording. I really hope this gets applied -- trackback spam is a nightmare.

  • owner changed from tobi to scott.
  • priority changed from normal to low.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • milestone set to 4.0.

I'll look at this for 4.0, but it's not a high priority. If it's clean enough it'll go in, otherwise it'll have to wait for the next release (maybe 4.0.1).

Uhm, I'd like to apply this, but I think the label on the config setting page is reversed. It says "Disable all future trackbacks", but the button setting follows configglobal_pings_allow?. So there's a bit of a disagreement here--the label is 'disable' but the variable is 'allow'. I'd like to get this into 4.0, but I don't want to screw up the already precarious nature of trackbacks :-). If you can get me a fixed patch then I'll apply it. Otherwise we can revisit after 4.0, when I have time to test this.

Crud, you're right. Apparently I reworded the description text a few too many times. Here's an update against HEAD that should fix that. Hopefully I'm still inside the merge window?

We still have a day or two. I'll look at it tonight or tomorrow.
