Hi there,

I’m trying to get a moblog set up on my site.  Here is the page template I’m using:

{exp:moblog:check which="photo_blog"}
{embed=embeds/header pagetitle="Photo Blog"}
            
<div class="content grid_12">
    {exp:channel:entries channel="photo_blog" disable="categories|member_data|trackbacks"}
        <div class="thumbs {switch="one|two|three|four|five|six"}">
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{photo_blog_photo}" width="168" height="168" alt="iPhone pic" class="thumbnail" }
        </div>
    {/exp:channel:entries}
</div>

{embed=embeds/footer}

Everything seems to work fine except that I’m getting this error occasionally:
http://skitch.com/johnny72k/n6d7a/error

I think it’s related to the {exp:moblog:check} tag.  When I refresh it goes away, but the new moblog entry doesn’t show.  However if I go into the control panel and manually check the moblog, it grabs the new entry and publishes it without problems.  Any idea what’s going on?

Which build/version of EE2.x are you using?

I’m on v2.0.1pb01 build 20100121.

I thought that error was showing anytime there was something new to post, but I just successfully posted to my moblog without issue, so I’m not sure what triggers that error.

Let’s have you upgrade to the most recent version. There were a number of fixes in that release.

OK, I’ve got it updated to the latest build.  I’ll post again if I see the error again.

Great! thanks for keeping us in the loop

Yep, it’s still giving me that error.  But just occasionally.  When I refresh the error goes away, but the new entries don’t show… however I suppose now you’ll want me to be on version 2.0.2, eh?

code72,

Just confirming that your moblog shortname is the same as one of your channel shortnames?

Can you try the following please. You should see EE output messages for errors and successes with this silent tag added..

{exp:moblog:check silent="false" which="photo_blog"}

That’s correct, my moblog shortname is the same as the channel shortname.  Should I change that?

I added that tag and the following was output:
Photo Blog
No valid emails were found
Moblog was successfully checked
Emails Retrieved: 0
Entries Added: 0
Attachments Uploaded: 0
Pings Sent: 0

But the page loaded just fine—no errors this time.

I have to re-set this up for EE2.02, thanks in advance for your patience.

No worries, it’s just on my personal site, so I’m not really sweating it.  Obviously I’d like to work without errors, but thankfully it’s not a client site or anything.

code72,

When you do encounter the next error, let us know the output with silent mode turned off.

OK, I got the error again, but there’s no error code or anything.  Check the screenshot here:

code72,

That’s correct, my moblog shortname is the same as the channel shortname.  Should I change that?

Can you try a test? Can you rename either your moblog to something different just to rule out any conflict bug.

Also can you take a look in \system\expressionengine\language\english\lang.content.php for the key ‘unauthorized_for_this_channel’. Does it exist there?

I renamed the channel so that it has a different name than the moblog, but I still saw the error the last time I tried to post to the moblog.

I do have that key in my lang.content.php file.  It says:

"unauthorized_for_this_channel" => 
"You are not authorized to post in this channel",

I still need to upgrade to 2.0.2 (it’s on my list!), but somehow I’m guessing that’s not the issue here.
