John: The cookies file is not updating with new test posts I’m publishing.
@ari and @herb37
Is the cookies.txt in the wpgplus directory zero length, or does it have a size?
I just release a 0.7 version with more debugging in it, but I think the issue may be with permissions on the cookies.txt file – delete the one that came with the plugin and it should create a new one next time you publish something.
Huh? If I delete the cookies file (which did have text in it) and publish a new post, a cookies file is not auto created.
Well that’s a problem.
wpgplus uses cURL and needs to be able to write to and read from the cookie.
I can look at trying to change how the cookie file gets created.
In the meanwhile, can you create a blank cookies.txt and set its permissions to 644?
ari – what does your debug.txt say after you delete the cookies file and then try to publish again?
@john,
I have created a blank cookies.txt and set the permission to 644.
After publishing a post, there is a cookies.txt with a lot of text and figures.
The debug.txt now has more content than this morming (using the developer version).
But nothing is published to G+
Herb and I are in the same boat.
If I delete cookies.txt, then recreate it and set permission to 644, then publish a post, the cookies file is populated from libcurl but nothing is published to G+.
Debug file is updated with:
2012-02-19 00:47:59 : publish_to_gplus running, included wpgplus.php
2012-02-19 00:47:59 : publish_to_gplus running, postID is 7874

2012-02-19 00:48:04 : publish_to_gplus done running
Does the debug file also need to be perm 644? It’s 604 right now.
@ ariherzog,
I guess we have the same problem.
Starting with a clean cookies.txt I got:
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

Both files have the permission 644
Nothing was published to G+
So the cookie looks good, and so long as the cookies are getting text filled in then the permissions are ok. (The permissions being wrong would prevent any text from being added to the cookie).
However, I’m still not seeing any specific error in the debug logs.
@ari – your debug log posted above is from the older version – can you update to 0.7 and try another post?
@herb37 – the statuc codes it is showing are 200, meaning “OK” – in other words, no error.
I was hoping we’d see some other statuses, which would tell us something else was wrong – but I’m not seeing any.
Are you entering something in the “Message for Google+ post: (use google+ markup)” box before you publish?
Are you writing posts in the regular post edit screen?
I’ve just checked in another development version newer that 0.7 – which outputs the whole response from Google+ to the form post – this one will create a much larger debug file, but should help us solve this mystery.
Please do get the development version from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpgplus/download/ and install it, and share the debug output with me.
(If you don’t want to post it publically here, as it might contain sensitive info, you can email it to me – eckman.john -at- gmail.com.
@john,
I am writing the posts in the regular post edit screen, without enabling the Wysywig-editor.
I didn’t enter something in the “Message Box”.
Regards
Herbert
@john,
I have sent an eMail via gmail to You.
Herb
Herbert – the new development version (newer than 0.7) does more debugging, including capturing what post-text it is trying to post.
Since we’re getting 200 OK status codes, looking at what is actually being posted and the full response from Google is the only way to try to find out what is happening.
I upgraded to 0.7. Same as before: Post publishes, but no publish on G+. (I assume it should be automatic.)
