Where have all the referrers gone....
Everything seems to work perfectly in the new (and absolutely COOOOOOL) version except for the referrers. I can't see any on my own and a couple of other blogs I've tested. (Javascript is enabled)
Do I have to change something in the skins?
Speaking of skins: is it possible to edit the look of the memberlist and memberlist items and a couple of other admin-pages (prefs, layouts, skins,...)? Couldn't find any skins for these.

the update took longer than 24 hours, so that's why you don't see any referrers (since only those of the last 24 hours are displayed). at http://help.antville.org/referrers you can see that it's basically working.

but there's some twist: baronesse's site is missing the javascript Antville object which knows about referrers and spam filters and all that stuff. currently, this object is not available at her site because the Site's page.skin does not contain the line
<script type="text/javascript" src=" [Macro not allowed in sandbox: site.url] main.js"></script>try to add the above line to Site/page.skin (
eithermove all your javascript stuff from the page.skin to javascript.skin beforeor simply remove everything from javascript.skin) and it should be working. well, except for safari browsers, but i will dig into that later.baronesse
Thank you both. Ok, I added the code to the main page. My own javascript stuff has always been in the javascript skin.
For now, I'll just wait and see if anybody links to me...

aha. bei mir hat das gewirkt. vorher keine backlinks und refs, jetzt schon.
die hakerlboxes bei den refs dienen zum filtern nehme ich an. ist das eine train funktion (= diese refs erscheinen dann nie mehr)?
tobi Verwaltung
you need to remove the
<script>tags from your javascript.skin.and sure, it might be that your javascript stuff has always been in the javascript skin. but if you look at the source code of your site you will find that it is still embedded in your site's main.skin. (that's what i referred to above).
tobi Verwaltung
checking the box next to a referrer and clicking the filter button copies the url to the spam filter text box in your site's preferences -- and this prevents it from being displayed anymore in both, referrers and backlinks. however, it won't "train" the filter to hide similar urls or the like.
in the preferences' text box you also can enter patterns of urls to catch a bunch of similar urls at once.
kohlehydrat
thanks.
huge improvement, very useful!
baronesse
Yeah I had an older macro site.javascript or something similar on the main page. That's why I had to use the script Tags. Now another question: in the javascript skin there's a lot of code for the color-picker and stuff which also seems to be ... well somewhere else. So now it seems to me that I have the same code twice in my main.js. http://depix.antville.org/main.js
Should I just reset the javascript skin and see what happens?
tobi Verwaltung
and see what either is in the original javascript skin or one of your scripts. this should remain in your custom skin. everything else you should remove from the skin.

Ok, I put the code into my mainpage skin, but nothing happend. Should I put the code into another skin (Style? Java?)
kohlehydrat
remove it from the bottom of the page and place the line before the closing "head" tag.
DonDahlmann
Thanks, but that isn't working either. Still no reffs.
baronesse
I get this error on (almost) every antville page (including this) with varying line-numbers (here 140). My own scripts don't seem to work either, and on the referrer pages (in all of the blog I've looked at so far) there's an additional error "Antville is not defined".
(Using IE 5.1 on a Mac; OS 9)
tobi Verwaltung
ie 5.1 on a classic mac os is not what i want to even think about supporting at all. however, might be that these errors also occur with other browsers so i would be glad if you could leave some urls here for verification. (i checked about 5 sites randomly with firefox and did not get the line 140 error.)
concerning the "antville is not defined error": all these sites have to follow the same instructions i gave to you before.
kohlehydrat
hmmm.
i can see referrer listings with firefox but not with IE.
?
tobi Verwaltung
PLEASE add a url (or a bunch of links) to your observations? it's so hard to guess where you might have been before coming here.

i still have not understood how to get the referrers back. i have got script tags in the main page skin for my blogroll and sitemeter. how can i remove those and place them in the javascript skin? how does the javascript skin define where the blogroll and the sitemeter are situated on the page?
when i put in the main.js line and leave these tags in the main page skin, i get an error message saying something like "saved but with errors". and referrers don't show up.
nevertheless a big thank you for all the work tobi, robert, kris etc. have put in this.
kohlehydrat
sorry.
example:
http://kohlehydrat.antville.org/referrers
shows refs for firefox but not for IE (edit: version 5 on win2k).
http://don.antville.org/referrers
is showing for neither.
alex63
the kohlehydrat referrers work in ie 6.0
kohlehydrat
ok thanks. then its just my version of IE.
baronesse
Some of the pages:
http://help.antville.org/
http://kohlehydrat.antville.org/
http://studio23.antville.org/
http://cosmashiva.antville.org/
http://www.antville.org/
http://don.antville.org/
In fact, this here http://sees.antville.org/ is the only site where I don't get the above error. Only the "antville is not defined". But they don't use the script tag.
I don't really care if I can't see the referrers any more on this old computer (and system), but I'd be very glad if the rest of the javascript worked again...
DonDahlmann
http://don.antville.org/referrers
Doesn't show refs on IE6, Opera7.53 and Firefox 0.92, despite the fact, that I put the code into the head section of the mainpage skin.
meisterkoechin
No referrers for http://mange.antville.org/referrers either.

do work in Mozilla, Camino, Safari, iCab (all latest versions) with Mac OS X (10.3.4), also in IE 6 (Win XP, Win 2000),
don't work in Internet Explorer 5.2.2 (Mac OS X), IE 5.1 (Mac OS Classic 9.2.2); and - using these browsers - there are strange JavaScript-error-messages, too.
This happens with my own layout AND with the new standard-antville-layout.
DonDahlmann
Merkwürdig. Selbst wenn ich ein das Standart Layout reinstelle, tauchen bei mir die Refs nicht mehr auf. Kann das auch mit dem Stylesheet oder irgendwelchen Ändernungen an der Javaseite zu tun haben?
Nachtrag - Nein, es bringt auch nichts, wenn ich alle modifizierten Einstellungsseiten lösche.
