BlogCFC 4.0.3 Released

Time for another update. This week it is brought to you by the mashup mp3 of 50 Cent and NIN. Sweet. Anyway, what is new in 4.0.3?

  • A license! Woohoo! The feature everyone has been asking for!
  • When you add a comment, we validate your URL.
  • You can now disable comments on a post that has comments. Instead of hiding the comments, they will still be displayed, you just can't add anymore.
  • Added nofollow to various links here and there.
  • If a comment is blocked by the spam checker, don't send the email.
  • New TB spam words. Thanks spammers!
  • XML fixes to RSS generation. (Thanks Paul Hastings!)
  • Stats updates. (Thanks Rob Brooks-Bilson!)

As always, you can download BlogCFC from the project page. As always, wishlist purchases are welcome. (And to the person who picked up the Nano.... wow... I owe you a feature of two. :)

What?!? Why the heck would anyone want you to liscense your software?!?
;-)

Seriously, may I make a feature request?

I usually use the entry form to create my blog posts (i.e. type the entry in and html format it by hand.) but when I post, it sends my often poorly created or unfinished post to all my lucky subscribers.

Could we have a preview button/feature and a publish button/feature instead of a post and publish?

Think about all the Blogger's remorse we could prevent!

The only thing preview would do though is show you code blocks. Is it really that handy then?

Ray,

I suppose this would help show if you forgot to close a <b> or <i> tag as certain bloggers are known to do from time to time ;)
# Posted By Sean Coyne | 1/20/06 3:37 PM
Perhaps. I'll think about it. :)

I use the fckeditor in my blog and it works great. Integration is just replacing a few lines of code ... is there any reason not to use it?
# Posted By Rob Gonda | 1/20/06 6:47 PM
I second the preview request. Here is a post about that sort of thing: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/01/the_education_... (although he isn't using BlogCFC, the same concept applies, right?)

I'd also love the option to turn on/off trackbacks via post (similar to how we can do that for comments)

Rob,

How did you get the [more] tag to work whilst using the fckeditor? I integrated the fckeditor too but i found out the [more] tag doesn't work anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.

Gee, I wonder who *that* could be. Ugh.

Disregard last transmission, I assume Ray deleted the post I was refering too. You missed one BTW, it's in the Var scoping Ask a Jedi comments. Feel free to delete this and my previos post as they make no sense now :)

Hi, (minor issue) in your comments on the pages you used the wrong year :-). Example " xml fixes to generateRSS, throw on comment spam (rkc 1/20/05)" Or would you reuse 2005 :-)
# Posted By Frank Gerritse | 1/21/06 9:51 AM
Heh, I'll ignore it for now. ;)

You may want to update it to reflect the current info. As always, thanks for your contributions.

I could have sworn I had fixed that. Thanks Tom.

Hi Ray

Please could you tell me if there is anyway I cn restrict users to only being able to create posts in a certain category?

For example, if I have a sports category that the sports team fill out, and a travel category that can only be updated by the relevant users.

If so, I will be the happiest man in the world! :)

Matt, that is not possible in the current version. You could modify the code of course.
