I’ve posted another beta version which includes the WordPress fix.
You can simply place the tracker code at the top of your index.php file within your WP install. I installed WordPress and this placement worked fine for me. If you encounter any other problems please let me know.
You can grab a copy here.
It seems to be working on my Wordpress-based site: one of the Yahoo crawlers swung by to check the place out about an hour ago.
Thanks, so much, mls!
I’m still seeing lots of errors in my error log from this pepper. This is what I’m getting.
[Wed Apr 4 11:56:25 2007] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function logErrorNote() on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/mint/app/lib/pepper.php on line 56
I’m trying out an absolute URL to the tracker.php to see if this helps. I noticed that on other sites, sometimes the require_once code would fail to find tracker.php because of the directory depth.
Edit The absolute URL still didn’t work. It’s still churning up errors and not logging anything.
mls, did you try adjusting WordPress’s permalink settings to date and name based when you tested it? I’m wondering if that has something to do with my errors.
David
I have adjusted the permalink setting and do not have any problems.
Where are you placing the tracker code?
I’m placing it inside header.php which is located under wp-contents/themes/k2 Do I need to add it somewhere else?
David
Yeah, that’s probably why you’re getting the error.
Try placing it at the top of the index.php file located in the root WP directory.
I hadn’t even thought of that! I assumed that if I placed it inside my themes header file, it would track any URL requested.
Thanks for your continued support to an idiot like me :D
<?php require_once("./mint/pepper/mlslatest/crawlers/tracker.php");
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
Just an example how my code insertion looks like for Wordpress users. Can anyone confirm with me that this is the correct way?
@hinching
That’s where I placed it when I tested it on a fresh WP install and everything worked fine.
I can confirm it works now. Maybe my original error was spurious? You may wish to clarify under the documenation that WordPress users should insert the code in the index.php file :)
David
Works for me now. I too was placing it in the header.php so that might have been my issue all along.
Does anyone here use Textpattern? I don’t know where to place the php code. I’m getting an error if i place it in the header or footer because raw php tags are disabled. If i change these settings in Textpattern it also doesn’t work. Would be great if anyone could help and sorry for my english. ;)
@shorty
If you’re including php in your textpattern templates you need to use textpattern’s php syntax. Rather than <?php to open a code block you need to use <txp:php> and close the block with </txp:php>.
Thanks! I’m new to textpattern and just copied the code without thinking… ;) Hope it works now.
Okay, there are no error messages anymore. But the pepper doesn’t work. So i think i made a mistake placing the code. Where did other textpattern users place it? In the header or footer? Or in the index.php, like Wordpress users do?
mls
I’m interested in testing out the pepper if you are still looking for people.
Sorry, me again. I still don’t know where to place the code. If I place the code in my footer or header nothing happens. Placing the code in my index.php causes an error… I’m using textpattern. Would be great if anyone could tell me, where to place the code.
Anyone that manage to get this to work when it is used in the header.php in a WP theme?
Yeah. Don’t put the code inside the header.php template file. The code needs to go in the root index.php file for WordPress.
If your WordPress installation is as so: site.com/wordpress you will need to edit site.com/wordpress/index.php
David
Does anyone know where I can get this pepper? The download on the developers site returns a 404.
Thank you very much for this great pepper!
Hey folks. Will this work with Movable Type too? Let me know.
For all the people who use s9y:
Just put the code into your serendipity_config_local.inc.php.
