Bug? Column Review Modify Date cannot be left blank.
The user_review_required is set to No. When I try to add a new review I get this error:

Column Review Modify Date cannot be left blank.

What gives?

When I try to update my glinks installation, I get the following error:

Quote:
Error: Unable to connect to update server: Could not connect to www.gossamer-threads.com: Unable to connect: Connection timed out

I can verify links, so I know the connection is valid. Any advice here?

What's your server's ip? Is your server doing any form of outgoing firewalling/blocking?

Adrian,

I get that error on two occasions: (1) when trying to update the installation, and (2) when working with Paypal payments. I do not get the error when I view available plugins on the Gossamer Threads server, nor do I get the error when verifying links.

My server's IP is 208.109.14.136 and is hosted by secureserver.net on a shared hosting plan.

Your server is probably blocking outgoing https connections, but allowing http connections. Ask your server administrator about that.

Adrian,

Support documents say I have to set a proxy for https connections using http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128. Any advice on doing this?

Unfortunately, our software does not support using a proxy for connections as it is rarely needed.

Adrian,

Is it possible to have a workaround added to this $450 piece of software for a paying customer?

Thanks.

Change your hosting, I have this feeling your going to run into more issues in the future.

Adrian,

In reference to the original question about reviews not going through, is there a way to update my installation without using the Update feature in the admin? Can I download a file and unzip it over other files or run it from another location? Can I edit a file manually?

To reply to myself (bad form for some, I know):

In this rare instance, which may help others, I changed a line in /admin/GT/Update.pm to remove the secure server:

Was:

Code:
GTUPDATES => 'https://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/updates/update.cgi';
Changed to:

Code:
GTUPDATES => 'http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/updates/update.cgi';

Not the most elegant, but it worked for me. And, since the line directly above it in Update.pm uses the same value, I don't see the harm in it.
