 * I had a client for Elegant Webscapes request inline trackbacks. I did a search
   and found none posted in either the WordPress Hacks or WordPress Plugin pages.
   So, I decided to write one.
    - Copy the following code into your my-hacks.php file.
    - Include this tag `< ?php inline_trackback('', 50, '<br />'); ?>` on your index.
      php file where you want the inline trackbacks to appear.
 * function inline_trackback($before = ‘’, $limit = 50, $sep = ‘‘) {
 * global $wpdb, $tablecomments, $id;
    $request = &quot;SELECT comment_author, comment_author_url,
   MAX(comment_ID) as comment_ID, SUBSTRING_INDEX(comment_content,’strong’,2)
   as trackback_title FROM wp_comments&quot;; $request .= &quot; WHERE comment_post_ID
   =’$id’ AND comment_approved = ‘1′ AND comment_content LIKE ‘%trackback/%
   ’ GROUP BY comment_author, comment_author_url ORDER BY comment_ID DESC&quot;;
   $request .= ($limit > 0) ? &quot; LIMIT $limit&quot; : ‘’; $commenters = 
   $wpdb->get_results($request);
 * if ($commenters) {
    $output = ‘’; foreach ($commenters as $commenter) { if(!
   empty($commenter->comment_author_url)) { $output[] = $commenter->comment_author.
   ‘ linked with comment_author_url . ‘� title=&quot;‘ . $commenter->comment_author.
   ‘&quot;>’ . $commenter->trackback_title . ‘‘ . ‘’; } else { $output[]
   = $commenter->comment_author; } }
 * if (is_array($output)) {
    echo $before.implode($sep, $output); }
 * }

 * I [rewrote my plugin](http://simplykimberly.com/inline-trackbacks.phps) and tweaked
   it a bit to distinguish between trackbacks and pingbacks.
 * Remove the ending ‘s’ and save it as a .php file.
