TBPingFilter

This callback is invoked just prior to the MT::TBPing object being saved. The callback is invoked prior to any spam/junk filtering or scoring being performed on the ping. This callback is a way for plugins to intercept the submission of any newly submitted ping and perform additional validation on the ping.

If any TrackBack ping filter callback returns false (zero), the ping will not be saved in the database.

Input Parameters

• $cb - a reference to the current MT::Callback object handling this event.
• $app - An instance of the MT::App::Trackbacks used to process this comment submission.
• $ping - The MT::Comment object.

Return Value

A boolean (true/false) value. If any TrackBack filter callback returns false (zero), the corresponding TrackBack ping will not be saved in the database.

Example Handler

sub handler {
    my ($cb, $app, $ping) = @_;
    if ($ping->text =~ /a bad word/gm) {
        MT::Log->log({message => "Not saving ping
            because it has a bad word in it."})
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}
