Issue Summary
If I have a link in my posting to another node on my own site that is comment enabled, I get a ping comment there. An option to turn that off would be nice.
Comments
#1
IMO this is a bug, because pingbacks to your own site make no sense.
#2
I don't see why pingbacks to your own sites necessarily make no sense. They can be useful as ways to "see other nodes that link here" lists. Granted, there are more elegant ways of handling this, but I do not agree that it's a bug.
#3
Hm, I guess on a site with multiple authors, this *could* make sense… Changing back to the original: feature request to add the option to disable local pingbacks.
#4
Yeah, I see this as a good feature.
Also, subscribe.
#5
New features go to 6.x-2.x.
#6
I have developed a mod to the pingback config page, which gives a checkbox for whether to pingback your own site or not. I will post it here when #295237: Mission Clean Code has been completed, and freso & andreashaugstrup can see if they think it is worth committing.
I found that it can be useful in a development environment to be able to ping your own site, when making changes and testing pingback, but I wanted to turn this off in the live site.
With this mod, I also put in code to remove the attempts to pingback files attached to the node, eg images, which can never accept a pingback.

Any news?

At the moment I´m using a patched version of pingback 6.x-2.x-dev (August 14, 2008 at 12:05pm), where I´ve changed _pingback_extract_urls in the file pingback.module. Notice there´s no new setting for this problem and the code is a quick and dirty hack.

Sorry I've been so quiet on this. I'll look at your patch, and try to find the coding I did, and then maybe merge them. I have been busy with getting scheduler ready for D7, but that will soon be done, then I can put some time into pingback.
