   Hi there,

   I'm wondering on how to show a list of trackbacks to my pages.

   I'm an avid php coder as i made several plugins on several systems but i cannot find the hooks/functions to show trackbacks on pages.

   Thanks in advance!

   Not completely sure I follow. Sending and receiving trackbacks is builtin.

   what im trying to do is this:

   i create a page. type my stuff in it.
   then someone writes about that pages on some website. placing a link to it on his/her page/post. a trackback is generated.

   i receive that trackback. and then it just sits there in the database. i want to show a list of trackbacks on that page (or all pages) i've created.

   i can just add the comment template but i dont want comments. ive got articles and a guestbook for that. so i need/want to show trackbacks only.

   ive been playing with this issue some more in the last few days and i found that its rather tricky to show pingbacks on a page. or am i doing something wrong?

   for the comments on articles i use:
   <ol class="commentlist">
<h3 id="trackbacks">Trackbacks/Pings</h3>
<?php foreach($comments as $comment) { ?>
<?php if(get_comment_type() != "comment") { ?>
<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?> smaller" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite>

   <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) {
$oddcomment = '';
} else {
$oddcomment = 'alt';
}
}
}
?>


   Which works quite nice. But when i use this exact piece of code on a page template it wont show up.

   At first i thought i was wrong and there is no pingback, but when i look in the database there really is one. linking to that page.

   i tried leaving out <?php if(get_comment_type() != "comment") { ?>

   or changing it: <?php if(get_comment_type() == "pingback") { ?>

   But it didnt work.
   Anyone got an idea?
