    <p>So I almost have a pingback sender ready for my rails app (people post links to content and donate to them). Almost.</p> <p>I've borrowed heavily from the code here: <a href="http://theadmin.org/articles/2007/12/04/mephisto-trackback-library/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://theadmin.org/articles/2007/12/04/mephisto-trackback-library/</a></p> <p>I modified the slightly for my purposes:</p> <pre><code>require 'net/http' require 'uri' class Trackback @data = { } def initialize(link_id) link = Link.find(link_id) site = Link.website if link.nil? raise "Could not find link" end if link.created_at.nil? raise "link not published" end @data = { :title =&gt; link.name, :excerpt =&gt; link.description, :url =&gt; "http:://www.MyApp.org/links/#{link.to_param}/donations/new", :blog_name =&gt; "My App" } end def send(trackback_url) u = URI.parse trackback_url res = Net::HTTP.start(u.host, u.port) do |http| http.post(u.request_uri, url_encode(@data), { 'Content-Type' =&gt; 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' }) end RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info "TRACKBACK: #{trackback_url} returned a response of #{res.code} (#{res.body})" return res end private def url_encode(data) return data.map {|k,v| "#{k}=#{v}"}.join('&amp;') end end </code></pre> <p>Looks like I'm sending links successfully to my wordpress blog but when I look at the link displayed on the trackback I get this: <a href="http://www.theurl.com/that/my/browser/iscurrentlypointing/at/http:://www.MyApp.org/links/#" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.theurl.com/that/my/browser/iscurrentlypointing/at/http:://www.MyApp.org/links/#</a>{link.to_param}/donations/new"</p> <p>All I want is the second half of this long string. Don't know why the current location on my browser is sneaking in there.</p> <p>I've tried this on two of my blogs so it doesn't seem to be problem related to my wordpress installation.</p> <p>UPDATE: Okay this is a little odd: I checked the page source and it shows the correct link. When I click on it, however, I get directed to the weird link I mentioned above. Is this a Wordpress Issue?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
