GetSimple Blog

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around in a while. I don't seem to be getting email notifications about new replies from this thread any more. Ill have to fix that.
Answering the list of questions in the order they appear:

@pinquin: I'm not sure why you had the issue of no posts to display. The theme I test with is just the default Innovation theme that comes with GS. There are no dependancies for this plugin. It should work fine all on it's own. I have never used and therefor never tested GS Blog with the lightspeed server, so I have no idea if or how this could affect the operation of the plugin, but in theory, as long as it runs php, it should be fine. Maybe you could setup Apache and test if you still have the same problems.

@mr_clark: The white box issue is usually caused by a PHP error. Please enable debugging or search your server's logs to see what the error is, then report back here.

@petrijah & bensayers: I am aware that there are issues with most of the User Management plugins, but as their developers have not been seen in a while, there is not much I can do about it. I have, however, decided to build a new User Management plugin that's much more powerful that any that currently exist on extend, plus it will be quite easy for plugin developers to hook in to enable permissions in their own plugins. You can follow the development here: https://github.com/johnstray/gs-users

@pigsound: I might have to look into ways to support posts in other languages. I suspect this has something to do with the way the actual content of the post is stored/retrieved from the XML file. The date formats can be changed simply by modifying the language file of choice inside the /plugins/gs-blog/lang/ folder.

@rogi: Unfortunately, I don't think implementing sub-categories will be possible.

@FairlyIncognito: I have not yet implemented a tag cloud, but it is on the todo list for the next major version release (3.5.0).

@lotova: Thanks for the feedback and the fix you provided. I will take a look at it and implement it in the next version.

@QBFreek: Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the issue and possibly rewrite the excerpt function so that it doesn't count any html formatting.


I will try to get a bug fix release out in the near future that covers all the bugs you guys have mentioned so far. I can't be too sure of an ETA just yet though. I'll keep you posted here.

Thanks everyone for all of your positive feedback and bug reports. I greatly appreciate the support!
