Podcast and Moods: Back end good; Front end bad

[alterity]

Over at the blog I'm constructing: realh2o.com/blogspot, both the podcast and the my mood plug-ins work find on the back end but choke on the trip to the front end.

What this means is: Podcast - the swf player does not make it from the back end to the front end, although the link remains valid. Clicking the link just brings up an associated player. My Mood - the pretext and mood icon show up find in preview but do not make the trip to the front end.

I have screenshots if you want to see them.

After having read everything in the Forum and Faq I suppose it might be a conflict between plug-ins or the order in which these two plug-ins appear in my back end list. I have bumped both Podcast and My mood to the top.

Obviously I would love a quick fix and then I'd go play some more. Does anyone know, off hand or from past experience, what plug-ins might conflict with both Podcast and My Mood or prevent them from moving from the back end Preview to the Front end of the blog?

If I need to list all the plug-ins I have enabled, that is doable as is sending to helpful souls the screenshots I have taken of the trouble areas.

Thank you in advance.

My install is standard and I'm using the latest 1.0.1 version.

Hi!

I'd really like to help you, because what you experience shouldn't be.

The first thing you might try is to temporarily switch to the default template and see if that makes a difference?

Then, please tell us which event plugins you have installed in which order?

Could you name us an entry that should show the SWF-Player?

You could upload the screenshots to a service like imageshack and post the link here?

Best regards,
Garvin

Thank you for your kind concern.

Here's a page where I have posted the aforementioned screenshots: http://realh2o.com/blog-shots.php

The blog entry to which this refers is: http://realh2o.com/serendipity/archives ... Opera.html

You should be seeing the moodle player after the link for the tune from the Pirates of Penzance and you should see a My Mood mood beneath the entry. Check the screenshots.

Here is the (long) list of plug-ins. I hope I am not to be spanked for having so many. I am just listing the event plug-ins.

Extended properties for entries

There they are, in all their glory. About all I can say is that the ones that require a sidebar equivalent do have it installed.

The only modification I have made personally to anything is to add some padding to the css P bottom definition of the Brown Paper template because NL2BR was driving me insane.

I will switch to the default template for a bit and see what that does. If it fixes things I will return and tell you.

Again. Thank you.

Hi!

About the event plugins, you sadly do have a long list of them, of which a couple of them could affect the rendering of the entry. :-/

Could you temporarily deactive those plugins:

Another idea would be to try disabling the "Allow to cache entries" setting on the "Extended Properties for entries" plugin. This might be the top candidate for your problems in conjuntion with one of the plugins above.

If it all does not work, I could offer you to have a look at your blog if you could give me temporary FTP access? If you want to do that, you can contact me via PM on this fourm!

Best regards,
Garvin

Thank you very much for all your kind assistance. The culprit was disabling the "Allow to cache entries" setting on the "Extended Properties for entries" plugin. After disabling caching, everything on the back end now shows up very nicely on the front end.

Without your help I would have never thought to disable that. You are the serendipitious king.
