Autoblog won't "add new"
Something weird is happening with autoblog. I set up my first feed and it works fine.
The next day, I went to add a new feed and the menu started acting up.
I click "add new" and the menu opens for about 1-2 seconds, then disappears.
Any thoughts?
WPMU version 2.8.4 and buddypress 1.1.3
Thanks!

greg, can you try the beta 2 version and let me know if that has the same problems.

Barry,
I tried the beta version and couldn't get beyond trying to add the first feed. The "add posts to" menu us blank (and I've got a couple hundred blogs)

Daft question, but have you tried in any diff browsers? Or hitting stop when the menu comes up (of course it shouldn't do that, but I'm interested if this might get round it).
Nice call...I just tried in IE and it works fine!
Just doesn't work in firefox...
Except now I get an error message after I've filled everything out and try to save the feed:
"Your feed could not be added."
Hi greg
That's a PHP version issue, what version are you running on? I have a fix (which I thought I'd added to the beta), I'll track it down now and post back.

Hi greg
When the page stops like that - with an empty drop-down, can you view the source of the page and scroll down to the bottom.
The last thing that should be on that page is the error that is causing it to stop.
Can you let me know what that says.
Thanks
Barry

I was looking for something along the lines of:
<select name='abtble[blog]' class='field blog'>
with the error message next, strange that the html is continuing though, but the form isn't.
For some reason the dropdown box does work now...I have no clue as to why...
The error I'm getting now is this:

Can you check that the table has been created correctly. You are looking for one called wp_autoblog - if it doesn't exist, you can create it using the sql contained in the instructions in the zip file.
If you are running multi-db, then you'll need to add this table to your global tables list.
Forgive my noobness...
I don't see the table, but I'm not sure how to to "create it"
Where do I actually apply the
CREATE TABLE wp_autoblog
Have you used phpmyadmin before?
http://php.about.com/od/learnmysql/ss/create_tables.htm
http://www.smartwebby.com/PHP/database_table_create.asp
You should have that on your hosting plan... does the download come with an .sql file too? You can apply that too I think.
I think the sql for the beta in is the install.txt file. You should be able to cut and paste that into phpmyadmin and it will create the table for you.
I'm getting an "error in my SOQ syntax"
Here's what I put in (copied from the install.txt)
CREATE TABLE wp_autoblog (
feed_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
site_id bigint(20) default NULL,
blog_id bigint(20) default NULL,
feed_meta text,
active int(11) default NULL,
nextcheck bigint(20) default NULL,
lastupdated bigint(20) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (feed_id),
KEY site_id (site_id),
KEY blog_id (blog_id)
I'm getting an "error in my SQL syntax"
Here's what I put in (copied from the install.txt)
CREATE TABLE wp_autoblog (
feed_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
site_id bigint(20) default NULL,
blog_id bigint(20) default NULL,
feed_meta text,
active int(11) default NULL,
nextcheck bigint(20) default NULL,
lastupdated bigint(20) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (feed_id),
KEY site_id (site_id),
KEY blog_id (blog_id)
You're missing the last bracket:
CREATE TABLE wp_autoblog (
feed_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
site_id bigint(20) default NULL,
blog_id bigint(20) default NULL,
feed_meta text,
active int(11) default NULL,
nextcheck bigint(20) default NULL,
lastupdated bigint(20) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (feed_id),
KEY site_id (site_id),
KEY blog_id (blog_id),
KEY nextcheck (nextcheck)
)
It works now!
Thanks y'all!
