====== Recommended update for the Dokuwiki Linkback Plugin ======

I spent most of the last evening hunting for a very nasty recursion bug in my [[snippets:dokuwiki:linkback|linkback plugin for Dokuwiki]]. Turns out that the use of the [[doku>config:useheading|useheading config option]] led to the sending routing of the linkbacks getting triggered again and again and ... on each save of a wikipage if linkback sending was enabled. This could lead to a corruption of the saved pages metadata, which lead to missing author or date fields and caused hickups with the blog plugin. 

As I didn't use ''useheading'' myself here up until a couple of days ago((and nobody else filed a bugreport or something like that)), I simply was not aware of that issue. Nevertheless, I want to apologize for any inconvenience it might have caused :-/.

Anyway, after some minor reconstruction inside the plugin, I can now present you with a new version which fixes this bug (and a couple of minor oddities I found on the way as well) and by doing so revamped the sending process to happen at a more convenient point in the page-save-process. You can find it [[snippets:dokuwiki:linkback|at the usual place]] as well as on the [[http://dokuwiki.foosel.org/blogsuite/index.php|Blogsuite BundleHub]].
