MTGoogleRank and MTYahooRank plugins installed

Well I finished installing MTGoogleRank and MTYahooRank. Both of which are very nifty plugins. All blogomatic.net users have access to both of these and information on how to use them can be found on the plugin’s respective page….

Update: It’s the next day and the error above is not occurring. May have something to do with an untrapped Google failure?

Hi there,

I’ve installed and been playing about a bit with GoogleRank, with intermittent luck. Everything looks good but I’m presently getting an error on rebuild:

An error occurred:

Can’t use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at plugins/GoogleRank.pl line 86.

Looking at the code, I’m wondering if it’s possible Google’s not returning ANY result, and therefore the results array is not initialised/null?

Is it possible I’ve used up my 1,000 queries for the day?

Thanks for your help.
The rebuild wad finished successfully with no error messages. And then the Main of my MT blog shows a message ‘>10>10>30>30′.
Here’s what I changed below according to the websites you told me;
# my $google_search = SOAP::Lite->service(“file:$google_wdsl”);

my $google_search = SOAP::Lite->service(“http://diva.nhki.net/blog/lib/MT/GoogleSearch.wsdl”);

See you!

Thanks for your quick reply, “John”!
I’m very sorry I wrote to you by mistaken name.

I visited the websites and tried rebuilding as those article said. Unfortunately I failed again.
The massage says:”
Service description ‘http://diva.nhki.net/blog/lib/MT/GoogleSearch.wsdl’ can’t be loaded: 500 Can’t locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /var/home/diva/data/blog/extlib /var/home/diva/data/blog/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 . /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503).”
I’m afraid there’s something different concerning with FreeBSD Machine by which my rental server works.

I have not seen that problem.

Does either http://www.metamix.com/archives/000120.php or http://d.hatena.ne.jp/shoma/200312 give you an idea on the solution?
Let me know.

Hi, Joe:
I have started making my blog for only three weeks. I tried to install your MTGoogleRank,
but I failed in rebuilding templates of MT.
The message says “Service description ‘file:/var/home/diva/data/blog/lib/MT/GoogleSearch.wsdl’ can’t be loaded: 501 Protocol scheme ‘file’ is not supported.”
Could I have some suggestion about the trouble?

I have fixed the problem but of course Google isn’t having problems right now so I can’t tell for sure. The problem was caused because of some flakiness with the Google API that was causing similar problem in MTGoogleSearch. I’ll test it for the next few days and then release the fix once I’m sure it was good.

Good point Joe – I don’t know what the issue is there. At first I thought it was simply Google having problems, kind of like how MTAmazon periodically gets hosed up because of some back-end problems at Amazon. But I’ve converted MTGoogleRank to a standalone .pl script and I’ve never once had that error so I’m beginning to think it is related to being called from the plugin. I’ll see what I can do.

I have a suggestion for the next version — a way of failing gracefully (e.g. outputting “n/a”) instead of MT choking on the (“500 Internal Server Error at plugins/GoogleRank.pl line 64″) error.

Looks like you’ve figured it out Joe, but for the benefit of others there is a spot for it in the MT config – go to Weblog Config, click Preferences link and the spot for Google API is about half way down the page.
