Failure on import

[Ed]

Hello!

Trying to install Scriblio, but I've hit a wall. After installation,
I attempt to import demo_content.xml via manage | import | wordpress.
This gives me:

# Importing post Harry Dexter White: A Study In Paradox...
# Importing post Harry Cat's Pet Puppy...
# Importing post Harry H. Woodring : A Political Biography Of FDR's
Controversial Secretary Of War...
# Importing post Harry Somers...
# Importing post Harry's Bee...
# Importing post Harry Callahan;...
...and so on

So far, so good. However, when it comes time to see my work, I only am
able to bring up the record for "Harry Potter Series" -- nothing else
is available. Also, none of the links work -- a click on
http://localhost/library/read/278068 gives a 404: the "read" directory
populated with stuff (I'm not that familiar with wordpress -- is the
"read" bin a real directory or an alias somewhere else?).

Any hints?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

I ran into the same problem - I knew the cause but not the solution,
however. Casey answered it here:

Good Luck!

After I answered Ed I went back to follow my own advice and
discovered, OOPS - no 'update' button in Firefox. Try another
browser to set your Scriblio browse base. I set mine to 'scrib', but
the default theme doesn't provide a link to the browse base or any
pages from the front page so I had to enter it in the url: localhost/
scrib - voila - it worked. THEN the theme gives you the option to
browse by catalog, posts, or all. The default is 'all'.

cheerio,
LJR

Ed,

Lichen pointed out most everything I would have, hopefully that's
working for you.

A big factor here is WordPress' permalink structure and Apache
mod_rewrite. A 404 error could signal problems there, the big
question is if WordPress issued the 404 (does the theme show up?) or
if Apache did (does it look like this http://api.scriblio.net/
nothing). If Apache issued the error, then I'd be pretty sure that
there's something wrong with the .htaccess file or mod_rewrite, or
along those lines.

On the other hand, the links in that Harry Potter Series post
probably don't work. Compare it to here:

http://www.plymouth.edu/library/read/311936

The links are relative URLs, but the record numbers in your site are
(very likely) different, so they don't work. Add that to the list of
things to fix. On the other hand, hopefully things appear if you do a
search?

All of this is poking around the answer to your last question: "read"
isn't a real directory, it's a rewrite rule you set in WordPress'
permalinks options. It could just as easily be /record/ or /this/ or /
post/ . But, if you do have a directory named /read/ , that would
interfere with WordPress and cause things to go awry.

Now that I have permalinks turned on and a browse base set, things are
indeed going more smoothly.

However, I've now run into another problem. When I try a search for
"truman" (which should pull up "Harry Truman and Civil Rights..." if
nothing else), I get the error:

WordPress database error: [Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the
column list]
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS post_id FROM wp_bsuite3_search WHERE 1=1
AND (MATCH (content) AGAINST ('truman')) LIMIT 1000

Checking MySQL admin seems to show a fulltext index there for
wp_bsuite3_serach. Reinitializing the tables from "options" seems to
have no effect....

Thanks!

Ed

Darn. That's fixed in the repository, but I don't know if it's fixed
in the download.

If you don't have Subversion, you can browse the repository and see
changed code here:

http://svn.scriblio.net/plugin/trunk/scriblio.php

Search for "AND (MATCH (content" or something like that, and you'll
see just where (that bit of) the code changed. There've probably been
other changes too.

If you're at all interested, Subversion can make it a lot easier to
keep up to date with these changes. I'm also looking at ways to post
the change history of the repository on the blog.
