Great news to all Blogparts-fans… New version is released!!!
Release of version 1.2
I have really been looking forward to write this post. The new version has been delayed more than I would have imagined in my worst nightmares, but it all comes down to priorities. Yeah… I know… what kind of priorities is this I hear you say. Delayed by months and my conscience is as black as the eyeliner of Captain Jack Sparrow! Sorry… but now it's here! Born by all the great feedback I got from all of you out there. Thank you for that.
Get it the new version here:
New in version 1.2
A lot of new stuff in this release. Most of these was request by users.
Improvements
- RSS feeds have improved. Number of comments, link for comments and a separate feed for comments a single post was added.
- Multi-blogger sites is much better supported now. A blogger don’t have to be member of the webadmins-role to view the blogmenu and to avoid redirection on pages with Redirecition webparts. Instead the users permission on the bloglist is checked. This feature was requested by many users.
- Date-format rendered by The Blogpart is now controlled by the language file chosen and not by the language of the site
New stuff
- Captcha-code for The Blogpart and the Contact-Me webpart let the blogger decide if the user have to enter a code when entering a comment or message. This is to avoid unwanted messages added by malicious scripts
- Podcasting is now possible. A category is chosen for a “podcast-feed” and the first media-file attached to a post is used for the <enclosure> in the feed.
- Incoming and outgoing trackback pings is now supported. The feature can be switched on and off
- Counts on post, comments and trackbacks was added
Bug fixes
- Only one attachments is shown for at blogpost.
- Contact-Me webpart checks for siteadmin-role when creating the list. This is changed to webadmin-role.
Languagefiles wanted
With the new release there’s going to be a need to translate the new strings. I have made a clear note in the file where to find them. I hope that the great people, who took the time to translate the files when 1.1 was released, will come forward again to translate the new strings so we won’t loose support for some of the languages.
I also would like to call upon Spanish and Russian readers to make a languagefile in these languages - that would be awsome.
Like always enter a message for me here on the blog if you would like to make the translation to your language. That way I can coordinate the work a bit.
CreditsI would like to thanks my good friend Jess Nielsen for his RC4Engine-class he created. The class is used in conjunction with the captcha-code features that is include in The Blogart and the Contact Me webpart. Jess has written some great articles on security and architecture. Check out his blog on http://jessn.blogspot.com.
Please enjoy The Blogparts!!!
