Operation times out cont'd…

In reply to: http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/operation-times-out-at-only-10-seconds/

Thanks Stephen, this is initially what I had thought as well, but in the exact same server environment (WPEngine), the other plugin I mentioned is allowed to take much more than 10 seconds to complete this operation…odd.

Hi Jacob, sorry – that old thread was closed by mistake.

In all likelihood the other plugin is requesting more time.

[Jacob Perl]

Makes sense…so, any way I can make yours do the same?

Yup, as mentioned in the previous thread, I’ll be releasing an update shortly 😉

[Jacob Perl]

No worries…I just didn’t know how long “shortly” would mean in your previous post, but I see now that you really meant it! Thank you for responding with the update so quickly! Looking forward to trying it out.

[Stephen Harris]

It’s my pleasure – if the problem persists, please let me know. It now resets the timeout for 10 minutes for each feed to be imported. This should be ample time to import most feeds.

[Jacob Perl]

Finally got a chance to try it out…and it is still timing out at 10 seconds.

Hi Jacob,

My apologies, I’ve dug a bit more into this, and I’ve realised that the time-out error was coming form Curl. So the remote request (to fetch the feed) was taking more than >10s, which is the default time out.

I found that the feed you linked to took between 12-15 seconds to fetch. And then a further 40-50 seconds to process. (The latter time will vary greatly depending on your set up).

I’ll account for this in the next update, but the change is simple. On line 250-251 of ical-functions.php (iCal extension) there is the following:

$ical = new EO_ICAL_Parser();
$response = $ical->parse( $source );

Simply set $ical->remote_timeout before calling EO_ICAL_Parser::parse:

$ical = new EO_ICAL_Parser();
$ical->remote_timeout = 600;
$response = $ical->parse( $source );

If you’d like me to send you the updated extension, then I can do so. But in the absence of a significant/important changes, I shall probably wait a week before releasing 2.0.1

Thank you..I have no problem hacking the code in the meantime.
