Serendipity Forums

Hello,

I'm using Serendipity 1.0.1 with postgresql and popfetcher 1.14. I've got the mailbox setup and serendipity can log in to it, but when it extracts an email, it fails to insert it. Here's the output I get when I run the plugin manually from the admin console:

POPfetcher v1.14 @ Wed Oct 4 15:56:42 EDT 2006

Published new blog entry with id: Entries were not successfully inserted!

Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Do you maybe have access to your postgreSQL error/output log? Maybe the SQL query that failed is listed there?

Hi,

I turned on statement logging. Here's the relevant entries:

LOG: statement: INSERT INTO serendipity_entries (isdraft,title,body,authorid,allow_comments,moderate_comments,extended,timestamp,exflag,comments,last_modified,author) values ('false', 'test again', 'This is a test.', '1', '1', '', '', '1160061316', '0', '0', '1160061316', 'ben')
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type boolean: ""

Thanks.

The problem seems to be with the moderate_comments field. The sql is trying to set that field to be blank, but it needs to be true or false. If I set the moderate_comments to be true, it works, but when set to false, it fails.

I got it working by adding this line:

$entry['moderate_comments'] = 'false';

after this line:

$entry['moderate_comments'] = serendipity_db_bool($this->get_config('default_moderate', false));

Obviously, this is a hack to work around something else that isn't working correctly.

Hi!

Usually the option should be set due to what the 'Default_moderate' option is set to. How did you configure the popfetcher plugin for the moderation option?

Best regards,

I set it to false so that it would not require moderation. But, for some reason, that option doesn't make it through to the $entries['moderate_comments'] array item. It doesn't make sense because the code is identical for the allow_comments option, which does work.

Thanks!
