Url submission

Hi,

My goodness... I wonder how this didn't get reported before...

drigg-distr.tgz had a huge problem: it was using an old version of jquery.js. I've been telling people that they need jquery 1.2.1 for the last 4 weeks, and MY distribution didn't have it...! :-(

I updated drigg-distr.tgz on the server... you can just copy the new jquery.js file over the old one on misc/ .

I am basically certain that this fixes the problem. So, I am closing this issue.

Shamefully.

Nerc,

Hi,

Actually ,reopening this issue... I just noticed that you were working n http://www.drigg.org!

I am still glad you reported this, so that I noticed the other problem.

However! I can't reproduce this. I can't tell what the URL is from the attachment. Can you please tell me exactly how to reproduce this on http://www.drigg.org ?

Thanks!

Merc.

Hi,

This should be fixed in the next version of Drigg, coming up later today.

Hi Merc,
I think this problem still persists in a form or another.

I've installed Drigg using the step by step mode many times, I've installed it using the drupal-drigg tarball you've in www.drigg-code.org and I'm still getting this error: The url doesn't seem to be working!

The URL turns red and doesn't allow me to review and submit the story. I've updated the jquery.js many times, cleared the cache, updated my Java, used Firefox and IE, and run many installation.

Is there anything I'm missing here. I'm using 5.7 with the latest modules.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Hi,

Which URL are you trying Adam?
If you try and submit that same URL at www.drigg.org, does it work?

Do OTHER URLs work?

Merc.

Hi Merc
There is no Story's URL in www.drigg.com, I managed to preview and submit stories easily. I tired to submit the same stories to my site and failed. Got the same The url doesn't seem to be working! and the red url.

Not a single URL is working.

Many thanks
Adam

I modified /sites/all/modules/drigg/drigg.module file at line 3193
to replace FALSE with TRUE
// CASE #2: IT DIDN'T WORK
} else {
$http_request_url_worked=TRUE;<----
}

And it worked, now I can preview and submit stories.

am I creating more problems here? Merc, is this a bug??

Thank you very much for your time.

Hi,

I re-enabled URL submission in Drigg (woops... sorry).

Can you confirm that the URL you are trying to enter doesn't work in Drigg either?
Are you putting http:// in front of the URL?

What are you typing *precisely* in the form?

Merc.

Hi Merc
It worked fine with www.drigg.org. I managed to submit this link:

http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu

preview and submission fine as expected.

Thank you
Adam

hsayoud,

It looks like your server is not managing to connect to the web server and validate it.

Can you please check that from your server you can run:

telnet distrowatch.com 80

And the connection is actually established?

Is PHP running is safe mode? That you know of, could PHP be crippled so that external connections are not allowed?

At this point, I am 98.8% sure that something's not working on your server (connection to external hosts is disabled, the DNS is misconfigured, etc.)

Bye,

Merc.

Hi,

So...?

Merc.

Hi,

Alright, closing it for lack of more info and impossibility to reproduce it.

Merc.
