Communication error

Nice, I write a good reply and drupal logs me out and loses it.

Hello and sorry to be the first!

1. To confirm, and bear in mind I am not familiar with the fully working module, it appears to me as if the actual voting interface I am seeing is non-javascript (see leftmost of 1st attached image) whereas upon voting the error message appears and disappears with javascript (btw the error message disappears completely except for in opera - as in the right-most of the 1st attached). Question: part 5 of the install guide - where precisely should this code go? it makes no difference to this issue where I put it or if at all!

2. As for the logs you request, there are no entries that pertain to the simple karma module. The simple_karma table exists in the database however the fields are empty. There is a message "PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `uid`". See attached image.

FYI This is installed on a testing server. The site is pretty clean and one that I frequently restore from backup. I have no other issues with it or jquery. I have tried disabling, but not uninstalling, other non-core modules to no effect.

If I've missed something, please tell me. Please feel free to come back to me as and when necessary - I can usually get back to you within a few hours if not much sooner.

I can confirm that this is with jquery version 1.1.2 and subsequently tested with version 1.1.3

either version. originally and upon install of this module i had 1.1.2 then I tried the latest release and then I went back to 1.1.2

whichever version of jQuery the problem is the same

Hooray - error found!

My confusion as to which logs - I checked the apache server logs for the first time - I'm sorry about that!

[Tue Jul 10 10:35:51 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: W:/www/simple_karma, referer: http://localhost/testone/node/40

So that suggests it's looking in the wrong place, right?

BTW: I'm running Universal Server which creates a virtual drive W. On this install I place modules in the modules dir although I normally like to have them in a separate dir.

Also, only standard access entries in the database accesslog

Universal Server is a package that combines Apache/PHP/MySQL and allows a much simpler setup on Windows machines. Some packages are better than others - I've never had any trouble with this one but of course that is not to say it is not an error on its side. At the least it is something that is lost in translation between the two and if it is only this and you've have no other reports then it is nothing to be concerned about. I only hope I have not taken too much of your attention in looking at this, and I thank you for your prompt attention. I am doubting it is something specific to my Drupal config however I shall try and upload at some point to confirm that all is well. Thanks again.

The simple karma code from a sample node (say that quickly):

<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "/testone/modules/simple_karma/simple_karma.css";</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/testone/modules/simple_karma/simple_karma.js"></script>

<li class="last simple_karma"><span class="simple_karma"><form action="/simple_karma/handle" method="get">
   <span class="karma">
     karma
     <select name="karma_vote">
       <option value="4" >4</option><option value="3" >3</option><option value="2" >2</option><option value="1" >1</option><option value="0"  selected >0</option><option value="-1" >-1</option><option value="-2" >-2</option><option value="-3" >-3</option><option value="-4" >-4</option>;
     </select>
     <input type="hidden" name="oid" value="73"/>
     <input type="hidden" name="otype" value="n"/>
     <input type="submit" name="form_type" value="form"/>
   </span>
</form> </span></li>

And to repeat, the server error:

[Wed Jul 11 20:04:04 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: W:/www/simple_karma, referer: http://localhost/testone/node/73

However I got curious and installed the simple karma module onto some shared hosting space - not onto a fresh drupal install but one from which the testing site would have originated - and there is no problem. I don't think there has been any significant changes to suggest it was the drupal config. Without digesting this module's code, I'd put it down to the first limitation of this server utility that I've found. I have read similar packages sometimes have little shown glitches which can often confuse a user because he/she is assuming it's something else!

Changed title as AJAX voting IS working - just not my understanding of how the module was meant to appear when I first posted!
