UPDATE: project now hosted in drupal.org. Thanks Andreas and Dennys!
Good news for bloggers using Drupal: pingback module is here, at last. It is a pingback user agent as specified in Pingback 1.0. I have tested the module in my offline server, but I need real-world tests, so I installed the module in my own site.
Download the pingback module (the files have DOS newlines).
Pingbacks generated by this modules closely resemble the ones that WordPress generate. In fact, I “stole” the code for receiving pingbacks from WordPress. Since WordPress and the module is in GPL it is not really a problem.
Unlike the trackback module for Drupal, this module register pingbacks as comments, because this is the fastest and the easiest to implement. I don’t think it may change in the future (i.e. follows what trackback does, having its own administration page, node display hooks etc) as I am too lazy to do that… It does have some drawbacks though, mainly that anonymous users have to be able to post comments (which is not a problem for blogs, I am certain!).
If you like to contribute to the module…

Are you planning on contributing your project to drupal.org?
I would gladly do it, but I am afraid I couldn't maintain the module with as good quality as the other module maintainers. Nevertheless I will do it in the near future if I get the time.
Great that you stole the code and made something out of it.
Thanks for posting thew download link....
I will definitely report about it after i use it.

Article writing is also a excitement, if you know then you can write
or else it is complex to write.
Hello! I could have sworn I've visited this blog before but after going through some of the posts I realized it's new to me.
Anyways, I'm definitely pleased I found it and I'll be book-marking it and checking
back often!
This module is so great !! I suggest you can put it on drupal.org, too. (If you have no time, I think I can help it.).
And how about the anti-spam function for this module? Does it work with spam or akismet ...
Thanks!
I would be very grateful if you wanted to put this up on drupal.org.
About the anti-spam, I think it works automatically because pingbacks are registered as comments, meaning all of them are being filtered as ordinary comments. So spam measures for comments also works for pingbacks.

Hi,
we have recorded a screencast about the Pingback module. (We also pinged this page, but our ping shows only the link, so it is not so recognizable.) We hope this helps understanding how the module works for newbies.
Wow, thanks for the screencast! Unfortunately I am short of high-speed internet access so I have not watched it... Great work anyway!
You can watch it on Blip.tv in lower quality:

Can you go for Pingbacks out of comments? This would be a Spammer Tool, I think. Lets see: http://durstich.de/users/christopher/blog/pingback Thx for the module and the Test site.
No. Okay, good to know.
Thanks, good to know.
