Checking for possible Trackbacks fails, Saving "fails&q

[matsch]

Hi,

I have a serious problem when saving an entry with a lot of links.

After saving the entry s9y is checking every link for possible trackbacks. After 15 links it aborts with the following Error:

Code: Select all

Überprüfe https://www.openbc.com/ auf mögliche Trackbacks...
Connection refused
Notice: Connection refused in [..]/blog/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848
Connection refused

The entry will be saved, but Markup plugins are not applied and the entry is not announced with the ping-services.

I guess it is an issue with my hoster, who might not allow so many outgoing connections in a short time.
S9y should handle this issue by applying an timeout or at least having an option "Don't check for trackbacks", so the entry will be properly saved...

I hope this issue can be targeted soon. I would be glad to offer further information if needed...

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

In cases where you enter URLs that cannot be reached, you should use the "Manual Trackback" plugin (serendipity_event_trackback), where you can set to not send trackbacks inside an article...

Sadly these connectivity issues are a real problem, but my PEAR HTTP-Request knowledge is limited and I would need help on improving this.

Best regards,

...and I thought you are superman...
You kind of robbed my believe in you just now.

Anyway, I hope we can find an expert to solve this issue!

Thx for the other hint though!
(Is it possible with this plugin to send 1 or 2 manual trackbacks, but not check the other 15+ URLs? Cuz there is only an input for additional trackbacks...)

Hehe, thanks for that praise. But it's true, I'm not very good at the PEAR HTTP stuff, because I generally never found a good solution for socket/network connections that work with PHP4 versions...

Hm, it MIGHT work if you do this: Save your entry by disabling thet rackback completely. Then re-edit the entry, only add the URLs you want to trackback in the "additional trackbacks" section and try to re-send it? But this might not work.

You could do it with some DB trickery by removing the URLs you want to trackback in the serendipity_references table, thoguh...

Yes, I think that works. I saw it doing the new trackback earlier when updated an entry.

Thanks Garv,
