News Manager 3.5 beta (36) available: download
New replacement template functions for proper canonical meta tag
For better SEO, you can edit your template(s) and change get_header to nm_get_header (or get_i18n_header to nm_get_i18n_header if you use the I18N plugin)
Correct canonical meta tags (in <head> section) will be generated for single posts, archives and tag pages.
Changes in integration with Multi-User plugin:
By default, now there is no custom permission to prevent access to NM Settings (which was introduced in NM 3.3). Users will only be granted access to NM Settings if they have access to Plugins OR Theme management pages.
However this can be reverted with new gsconfig setting NMMULTIUSERCUSTOMPERMS (see below)
I've had to do this because of a bug in the Multi-User plugin available in Extend (version 1.8.2) - it breaks when you try to add new users.
If you use a patched or forked version that doesn't have this issue, insert this in gsconfig.php
Change in function nm_post_url
This template tag (available since NM 3.0) will now display/return the post permalink with escaped ampersands (& instead of &).
This should only affect sites that have a default/non-fancy permalink structure in GS settings.
Any custom script or component that e.g. uses nm_post_url(false) may have to change it to htmlspecialchars_decode(nm_post_url(false))
------
If no one finds issues with this beta, I'll release 3.5 shortly.
I'm leaving for NM 3.6 some other features I planned to have in this version, sorry.
