INAP and feed problems

Posted on Saturday the 28th of July, 2007 at 10:34 pm in News

If you use INAP and have noticed oddness with your full-text feeds lately, it may have been caused by INAP. Users that had the “custom options” selected would have their feeds trimmed as if it were a post. INAP 2.4.3 fixes this.

In other news, INAP is in the process of a major overhaul including a complete rewrite of most of its antiquated structure. When this process is complete it will be rebranded to demonstrate the totality of its features (it won’t be called INAP anymore because the name is too restrictive), but will be released as version 3.0

    Aaron, First, thanks for the great plugin. I’m using INAP 2.4 with WP 2.2. One of my friends noticed that the ‘Reply to’ link in comments is not working in IE 7. IE throws a ‘Object required’ at the line where inap_request event occurs. Have you noticed this problem earlier? Any help dealing with this is greatly appreciated.

      What Javascript library are you using?

        The default library.

          Btw, it works on my machine but another friend is complaining that the ‘Reply to’ links are not working in Firefox either for him. You can check the blog at http://www.sarats.com/blog to see if there are any glaring errors on my part.

          It seems the Javascript file that the code is supposed to be in doesn’t seem to be loading correctly. Are you using an early version of php 4 on your server?

          If you are try
          OPEN: js/inap-misc.js.php
          FIND: ob_flush();
          REPLACE WITH: ob_end_flush();

          If that doesn’t work try removing the line I said to find above and the line:
          if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); else ob_start();

          I tried that and it hasn’t worked. Don’t think my hosting server is using Php4 anyways. I’m confused as to why it is working on my machine and not on others even in Firefox.

          Well I think it should be working now for one or both of your friends because it is now working on my machine (it wasn’t before).

          Do a hard refresh (hold control and hit refresh) to test it.

          I did the hard refresh earlier too:)
          It’s working for Firefox in Windows but was having problems with FF 2.x in Linux(Fedora 6,Ubuntu) earlier. I will check back with him and let you know if it works now.
          It also doesn’t work in IE but that doesn’t matter for me ;)

          I found the problem. it turns out that IE didn’t like a variable name, so to make it work on IE just make the following changes in inap-misc.js.php

          Find the lines:
          var class = '_hide';
          var class = '';
          d.getElementById('post_'+type+'_link'+'_'+id).className = 'post_' + type + '_link' + class;

          Replace, respectively, with lines:
          var style = '_hide';
          var style = '';
          d.getElementById('post_'+type+'_link'+'_'+id).className = 'post_' + type + '_link' + style;

          The main download will be updated momentarily.

    Love the plugin. I do have some weirdness going on though. Whenever I submit the comment form, both of my links [(Show or Hide Comments, whichever is current) and (Cancel reply)] both change to “Cancel reply” the value that I have for the Hide Text (for add comments). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

        Hey Aaron. Thanks for the fix code. Unfortunately, even after I applied those changes, it didn’t fix my problem. I don’t know if that has to do with how I’m using it? I’m using it on the home page of the site so people don’t have to go to the actual post page to post a comment, they can simply comment from the home page. You can see it in action here: http://tl.redwingstudio.com/blog/

        If you hit “Show Comments” on the first post then hit “Add Comment” and add a comment, once the comment is submitted, the “Hide Comments” changes to “Cancel Reply” as does the “Add Comment”. If you then hit the “Cancel Reply” that replaced the “Hide Comments” it changes back to “Show Comments”.

        Thanks for your help,
        Ben

        p.s. I emptied my cache several times to ensure that I had the updated js file.

          Ok, that worked. yay! Thanks. Sorry to keep bugging you… for some reason when I submit a comment off the home page with IE, it attempts to submit the comment twice and I get a WP error:
          “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that.”

          If I hit the back button and submit a different comment, the comment is duplicated and goes through without being caught by WP.

    First of all, thanks for the great plugin. Second. In my application in using expnding comments, i´d like to have comments appear inside a post.

    So I would have a list of posts by gatecory with one line of text and a button to expand and close the post while other posts move downwards.

    Anyone have done this or has ideas how to make it happen?

    Reply to Tuomas
    1. Aaron posted the following on July 26, 2007 at 11:15 pm.

      Well there are two ways:
      The official way is to have a second link to expand the comments as stated in the ReadMe.

      or you can open inap-functions-post.php and replace the function “break_content” with:

      1. function break_content($content){
      2. global $post, $id, $inapall;
      3. if(function_exists('wp_lightboxJS_replace')|| function_exists('wp_lightbox_plus')){
      4. $content = preg_replace('@(<a[^>]*?rel="lightbox")@', '${1} onclick="showLightbox(this); return false;"', $content);
      5. }
      6. $content = explode('</div>'."\n".'<p>@$%@$$%##$%#$%#$</p>',$content);
      7. ob_start();
      8. include ("inap-comments.php");
      9. $content[0] .= ob_get_contents().'</div>';
      10. ob_end_clean();
      11. return $content[0];
      12. }
      13. Use the following to copy and paste the code.

    Hi, I have some more questions… Have I understood correctly that transition effect are not supported on comments? Yet in http://tl.redwingstudio.com/blog/ ben has succeeded in it.

    When I post a comment in a category view I am thrown into single.php. My site structure is such that single page is not needed. Is there any way to avoid this?

    Have to say that you are on a good path in introducing this kind of eye candy on wp.

    I’m running Firefox 2.0.0.6 on PC using the simple settings of the plugin, and for some reason if someone leaves a comment the page hangs and doesn’t reload.
    It works fine in IE7, but in Firefox I have to click back and refresh to see the comment.
    Any idea what may be wrong?

    Thanks!

      I checked the site, but it seems you disabled the comments, so I can’t see what specific errors were the cause.

      However, if you were using the “simple comments” option you may want to try following the instructions in the readme file and making the full edits. Simple Comments has a tendency to not work correctly sometimes.

      Did the page refresh correctly when you posted here?

        The comments were disabled?!?! That’s a new problem. :-s I do (did) have simple comments option activated. I tried other comment plug ins but no other are installed or activated .
        I’ll see if I can wrap my head around the full edits (I’m new to Wordpress and haven’t used PHP much)
        It refreshed here when I posted before but I was on IE 7 that time, I’m on Fireox now and I’ll let you know if it doesn’t work this time.
        Thanks again for getting back to me!

    Hi there Aaron!

    I see everything is fine again with the next page thing. Good! Now I installed Inline Ajax, but I can’t get it working…. I get blank posts, blank everything. For me it’s time to go to bed, but I’ll leave my blog like this for now, so you could perhaps take a look? Honestly, I have no idea what goes wrong. I tried different themes etc, nothing helps. WP is on 2.2.2 already… Thanks for your help in advance!

      I just checked your site, and I have a few questions.

      1. Do you have “Simple Posts” activated or are you using the do_action(’inap_posts’);?
      2. Do you have other plugins that modify post content or add stuff to post content? If so, what are they? (if you like you can email me the list.)
      3. Is your server logging any errors?

    Hi Aaron, just activated it (2.4.3) on my local blog with WP 2.2.2. with default theme, Use Simple Posts was checked by default. I don’t see any difference on the main page. What’s wrong? On my custom made theme I just notice that the_excerpt displays the whole post.

    1. Aaron posted the following on August 18, 2007 at 10:54 am.

      I believe you just need to set the option that says “Use the following method to create excerpts or pages.”

      By default a post is only split on <!–more–> tags, so if you don’t use them, the_excerpt will show the full post. Just set it to split it by word count and put in 50 -300 words and it should work fine.

      1. uberdose posted the following on August 18, 2007 at 11:35 am.

        Ok, either I use the more tags or specify a post length. But in any case, only an ordinary link is displayed, no Ajax. What am I missing? I thought users could somehow “unfold the post” but stay on the main page.

          They can, are you sure the plugin was activated successfully? I looked at the source to your theme and the Javascript it adds isn’t there, nor can I browse to the INAP folder in the plugins directory.

          Is there a new tab under the presentation menu in the Wordpress Admin panel? It should say INAP management.

          If not, try downloading the slightly updated version, just to make sure the filwes weren’t corrupt.

          Two javascripts get included:

          inap-misc.js.php?ver=1

          JavaScript is enabled, no errors when I go to my local blog homepage at localhost.

          The link inserted looks good, it has its onclick:

          No I use Spam Karma and your comments got flagged. Sorry about that.

          Okay this problem has happened several times now, and I don’t know what is causing it.

          If you read up in the comments a little you will see that the problem kinda corrects itself, so I think it is a server issue. I have suggested a few fixes, but they haven’t worked. Some users have found that their theme was at fault, but I have never been able to duplicate this on my own, nor has it happened to someone who could determine the exact nature of the error.

          I’m wondering if the problem has something to do with the header its name (inap-misc.js.php).

          If you are on localhost now, after trying to fiddle with it, you can upload it to your main site and activate it just to see if that file works.

          Here is another problem: I’ve got a plugin called AdMan. It uses the_content filter to insert an ad into the first post on the homepage. When I activate INAP this doesn’t work, I guess because you also modify the_content. Is there a way to chain the filters?

        10. Aaron posted the following on August 19, 2007 at 12:27 pm.

          I downloaded the plugin and ran some tests, the plugin runs perfectly according to the way it is programmed with INAP. You may want to make sure you have the latest version of Adman.

          As an aside, if you show ads inside of your posts I assume you will want posts that are loaded inline to show the ads.

          If so,

          OPEN: adman.php
          FIND: if (is_single()) {
          REPLACE WITH: if (is_single() || (class_exists('INAP_Post') && $_REQUEST['type'] == "content")) {

          I have most plugins folders symlinked to another parent directory which works fine most of the time. Maybe other people have the same problem …

          Might be better to omit the @ so a clear error message is output when this happens.

          Ok, some clarification: Your suggested patch did work in that it now shows the inline ads (the ones that would appear on single pages) when clicking a post open on the homepage. What is still not shown is the homepage ad, which normally gets shown on the first post displayed on the homepage. As I said before, I can’t even change the posts content when inserting/replacing the content unconditionally.

          I assume that the ad is displayed correctly if you deactivate INAP or turn off Simple Posts?

          Theoretically, unless you are using a different version of Adman than I tested (1.6.1) INAP and Adman should never interact. INAP is almost always the very first plugin to modify the content and then all other plugins run. The other plugins shouldn’t behave any differently after INAP.

          As a test, add echo $content; just after function the_content($content = '') { and before return $content;. They should be different, and the actual post should be pretty close to the second one.
