Serendipity Forums

I am using freetag (2.48), Serendipity (1.0-beta3). When creating an entry, the tags clearly show. However, when the entry is saved, the tags no longer are there, both when viewed from the front page, or when the individual entry is viewed.

Hi!

Can you check if inside the serendipity_freetag DB table your tags for the entry show up?

And the other thing, can you check if using the default template the same behaviour occurs?

Garvin

I changed to the theme to Serendipity v3.0, and re-submitted it with the tags. Still nothing

My database is showing the tags in a table called entrytags. I appear not to have a freetag table....

Hi!

Hm, the tags in the database are related to entry "#64", whereas on your blog this ID is "#65". Do you know what happened with entry #64?

Sorry about the table name confusion, I mixed the names. entrytags is the right one.

Best regards,
Garvin

Entry 64 is a draft that I made when I first installed the freetag plugin to see how it works. I never actually published it. However, I just did publish it, and the tags showed on this entry!

Hi!

That's great. I didn't notice that you were only making a draft so far. )

oops, I wasn't clear. 64 was a draft, and when it was published, the tags worked. However, on any other post (such as 65), the tags still don't work.

Hi!

For the new entries, do you get entries in your serendipity_entrytags DB table?

If not, can you view the source of your Admin frontend and see if there are errors? Maybe a plugin is returning an error and fails, which can lead to the tagging plugin not saving entrytags. Which other event plugins do you have installed?

If you are using the "announce entries" plugin it might be that this is malfunctioniong. Either try to remove that plugin or try to put the freetag plugin as one of the first event plugins in queue, at least before the announce entries plugin?

HTH,
Garvin

The mystery continues....

The new tags don't show up in the db. I disabled every event tag except freetag, and still no go.

However, I discovered, if I save a post as a draft first, then publish it (even a sec after saving it as a draft), the tags show up just fine! They appear in the database and everything works.

Chris

I think I got it.

If there are links in the post, it checks for trackbacks. If one of those trackbacks fail (hardly an irregular occurrence), an error occurs. And the tag is not saved. However, if the draft is saved first, the trackback isn't sent, so the tag is saved. If there are not links in the post, no trackbacks are sent, and the tag is saved.

Hi!

It seems that your provider is blocking outgoing HTTP connections; in that case I'd suggest you to do what'S described here:
