I have been using MT for years as a CMS, and never have turned on the trackback feature, and now I find myself making a blog for a client, and don't know how to make the trackback link NOT be a cgi document. I've seen on other blogs where the trackback link is not cgi... how do I do this? Can you provide some sample code?

This page has an example trackback URL that I am looking to create:
http://bradchoate.com/weblog/2005/08/25/movable-type-32

Thanks!

It's still a .cgi document, Choate is just using mod_rewrite to make it look like it's not. Let me know if you need more specific guidance on how to use mod_rewrite to do this.

Off the top of my head, something like

CODE

RewriteRule /mt/feedback/tb/(\d+)$ /cgi-bin/mt/mt-tb.cgi/$1

might work.
