pelican-plugins / linkbacks Goto Github PK

Hi @avaris, @justinmayer,

Could one of you please enable Travis CI on this repo,
or give me admin access so that I can configure it myself ?

Kind regards

After following the instructions in the README.md file and running 'make html' I got this:

CRITICAL FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cache/pelican-plugin-linkbacks.json' at the end of the rendering process.

I proceeded to mkdir cache ; make html which solved the issue.

My thoughts:

• a test is run earlier in the plugin for the config save path
• documentation is updated to reflect the need to create the default destination folder for the json cache file
• change the default location not to require ./cache

Thanks

This would allow to easily audit which URLs have been successfully submitted, and the error responses for the ones that haven't.

Suggested new JSON structure:

{
  $article_slug: {
    $url: {
      "pingback": { // optional, no pingback support detected if field is absent
        "server_uri": "http...",
        "submission_successful": boolean,
        "error": // optional string
      },
      "webmention": { // optional, no webmention support detected if field is absent
        "server_uri": "http...",
        "submission_successful": boolean,
        "error": // optional string
      }
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
}

This schema change must be implemented so that the old JSON caches can still be parsed, but are then saved with the new structure
