Description
Today, started having problems w/Reftagger. Pages load then hourglass for a long time (minutes) with "Connecting to bible.logos.com" displayed in the status bar.
I installed two modules this AM I though were the culprits...
* Amazon module
* Jquery UI
I have since disabled these and saw no change so I turned Amazon back on.
But I've had to disable reftagger for the moment. Any ideas what might be doing this? Not sure where to look.
#1
Looks like the whole logos.com domain is having issues. Since the reftagger javascript is loaded from logos.com, that is why you are seeing the hourglass. Once they get their site fixed, you should no longer have any problems.
#2
Yeah, just noticed suddenly it's working fine again.
Is there any way to make it fail more gracefully in the future? Some pages would not completely load while waiting for something to come back from logos... maybe a module weighting issue? Wish I could I say which pages but can't recall for sure. Seems like filters page wouldn't load.
#3
Currently the javascript call to logos.com is placed in the footer, so you would only have incomplete page if another javascript call was placed after Reftagger that was required for the page to load correctly.
One option is to implement an option that the Google Analytics module has. That is to copy the reftagger js file from logos.com to your own server and use the local copy. I think that would require cron to run regularly in order to fetch the latest js from logos.com in case it has been updated.
I'm not sure that I really want to spend the time on that though unless there is a definite request for such a feature from other Reftagger users. If others are interested, please vote with a comment. :)
