BlogCFC 5.7 Released

After a month of being idle and doing nothing (yeah right), I've taken some time to update BlogCFC. This version contains quite a few bug fixes and updates:

  • First and foremost - I've added Scott Pinkston's Pod Manager to BlogCFC. It has been assimilated and is now part of the project. This was one of the last steps in removing the need for FTP/editing. While you can't edit existing pod code, it will let you add new pods and reorder/hide show pods all from the admin.
  • A bug with comment moderation was fixed. If you had comment moderation turned on emails would still be sent to subscribers. This is corrected. As the admin you will still get the email (which will remind you to moderate it), but the other posters on the comment will not. When you do approve the comment, they will then get the email.
  • The code that stores your entry data when editing (in case of browser crash) is now disabled when editing existing entries. This prevents a bug that would crop up if you clicked to edit an entry, clicked new entry, and would see the other entry data in the new entry form. It also means if you edit an existing blog entry and crash you are not protected. I figured this was the best solution though.
  • Fixed a bug where the admin would view the public blog, and because he was the admin, unreleased/future blog posts would show up and be cached into the RAM caching.
  • A bunch of other small fixes.

You can download 5.7 from http://blogcfc.riaforge.org.

Robert Owen's Gravatar Dumb question... (I know, I know mine are always dumb) the change to the MySQL dbase.. being new to MySQL, what do I need to do to implement those?

Robert Owen's Gravatar Thanks, I did that and I'm not getting any errors so I guess it worked... Question: I'm using comment moderation. I know you had a fix in 5.7 for the send e-mail function. I got an e-mail for a new comment just now. I went in and approved the comment. I got another e-mail about the comment only, this time the IP of the poster was changed from the original poster to mine. Is that by design? Can I change it back to keeping the original IP?

Raymond Camden's Gravatar that would be a bug. Although probably harmless. If you got a 'bad' comment you wouldn't approve it. Either way - it is a bug. Ill add it to the tracker.

Jim's Gravatar Any plans to add a multiple file upload for images? We love the site and use it for our family blog. Keep up the great work!

Raymond Camden's Gravatar Do you mean multiple at once? Because you can upload multiple images, one at a time.
