Which blog post was the trackback left for?


Author's Note: This area of HaloScan is currently being re-developed (as of April 2005) and this information will be updated when a better method is implemented

The Manage Trackback page lists all the trackbacks left for your site, however, depending on your blog settings, visitors to your site may be leaving trackbacks to old blog posts as well as current ones. So how do you find which trackback was left for which blog post?

The Post ID that HaloScan uses, better known as the comment identifier, is the key. You can use the Post ID to search through your blog to find the relevant trackback link.

To find which post a trackback refers to:

1. On the main HaloScan site, from the menu on the left, select Manage Trackback.
2. For the trackback you want to track to a post, jot down the Post ID.
3. Go to your blog. If you hover your mouse over a trackback link you will see the following: javascript:HaloScan('[commentidentifier]');
4. You'll need to match the [commentidentifier] to the Post ID to find the post the comment was left on.


It is acknowledged that this isn't the best way to accomplish this, but it is the only way at present. As mentioned in the Author's Note above, new functionality is under development to make this task much easier.
