Adding Problems
When registered users go to my site to add a site they are getting the below message after filling out the submission form. Why is this?

"Unable to connect to site. It is either down, or does not exist!"

Hi,

What plugins do you have installed? From the sound of it, this problem is related to a "spider" plugin. I could be wrong though =)

Sounds like the URL that the form is submitting to is incorrect. Check that it is the right one.

Hi,

Ok, that error looks like a Recip_Links error message. In /admin/Plugins/Recip_Link.pm, please find the 2 instances of:


Code:
my @page = get($IN->param($recip_field));
my $page = join("\n",@page);

..and replace with:

Code:
print qq|DEBUG: RECIP_FIELD ===> $recip_field <br /> Value: | . $IN->param($recip_field) . "<br />";

my @page = get($IN->param($recip_field));
my $page = join("\n",@page);

print qq|DEBUG: PAGE GOT: $page |;

Then, try adding a link - and seeing what is printed out.

Cheers

Hi,

I did some debugging for you, and it definitely looks like something on your end. The LWP::Simple perl module isn't working right.

get($IN->param($recip_field));

..should show the HTML from the page being "grabbed" - but it isn't.

My best guess, is that something is corrupt in this module, or it simply needs reinstalling (LWP::Simple, not the plugin =)).

Hope that helps.

Cheers
