Karma Visitor Tracking Bug?

[chickens]

I decided to try and clean up my database (finally) and I think I may have found a bug in the karma plugin visit tracking. Steps I took:

Installed a fresh copy of s9y on my test site.
Imported SQL dump of entries from phpmyadmin
Installed karma and popular entries plugin -- works
Installed the rest of my plugins without thinking. -- list here
Refreshed the page to make sure everything is working, karma visit tracking doesnt work.
Disabled all event plugins besides karma -- nothing.

Does anyone know of what might be causing this issue? The only thing I can think of is another plugin getting in the way. The problem I have with this train of thought is that I've got everything else disabled right now.

Right now all of the installed plugins come from spartacus or s9y itself.

Thanks.

Hi!

Does the serendipity_karma* DB tables exist?

Yes, it does exist with one entry in it. Its the one entry that I originally tested the plugin with. There is also nothing in my error_log saying any sort of error.

I would be happy to give you admin and phpmyadmin access if you need it.

If I get time tonight I will make another test site and test plugin by plugin to see if I can figure out exactly what is causing the problem.

Hi!

Note that click tracking only occurs when you view the "extended entry"?

[chickens]

Yeah, I've refreshed the extended body page about 50 times without any results.

Plugin settings:

enable voting: no
tracking: yes
exits: no
voting time after publishing: 1440
voting time: 5
only extended: yes (tried no as well)
voting period: 7
log votes: no

Hi!

Reading the plugin code, this can only happen if the Entry-ID cannot be matched from your current URL.

Check this serendipity_event_karma.php file:

http://nopaste.php-quake.net/7568

I added some debugging output there, which should create a karma.log file in your templates_c directory. It seems that $entryid is empty in your case...

It looks like the karma plugin is not active; the log does not exist. To verify it was not something I did in my template I've set the theme to Serendipity 3.

I should get time later today to test to see what exactly might be causing the problem.

Found it!

If you change the format of your permalinks the karma visitor tracking dies. I changed mine to %year%/%month%/%day%/%title%/ and the tracking pukes out.

It only took me installing every single plugin on a test site and having it still work to figure out the actual root of the issue.

Hi!

Ah, it might be that the karma plugin relies on the %id% value to get the ID of an entry properly.
