First BEta release

The Blog is now feature complete, still a lot of bug fixing and text translations to do.

At this time no documentation is provided, the only things i can say are:

- Installation

   1. if you plan to use xml as storage system no installation is required
   2. if you want to use a db for storing info you must create a datasource, the default name is 'cfxmlblog' but you can change it in the configuration settings
   3. in order to log into the admin section username and password are: 'admin', the url for the login is /index.cfm?mode=admin
   4. if you want to use the GoogleTalk feature you have to install an XMPP gateway instance, to call it 'AVBlog' and to poin the config files in the gateway folder
   5. if you want to test Qumana using the MovableType API for offline blogging use the endpoint /xmlrpc.cfm for Qumana configuration
   
- Cool things

   1. it's here
   2. plugin system, it's possible to create plugins in order to extend AV Blog features, two plugins are provided, a library plugin (for file management) and a photoblog plugin (for photo galleries)
   3. Both XML or DB can be used to storage information
   4. Permalinks
   5. Skin facilities: now it's more easier than ever to create and modify skins (at this time no other skin than the default provided)
   6. Spam prevenction on comments using captcha images
   7. Trackbacks
   8. Google Talk support for blogging and for advice upon comment receiving
   9. Movable API support for use with Qumana editor (free tool at http://www.qumana.com)
  10. Email support for blogging using email account. In order to be processed the subject of the email must be so formatted: yourkey@user@pwd@entry title
  11. FCKEditor 2.1 is used and included
  12. The last version of the JS Calendar is included

Let me know how do you feel with this release.

See you soon.

Hello Andrea!   Long time, no see :)

This many cuttingedge features of this new AVBlogsoftware sounds very exciting. Would you please provide ademonstration of the photoblogcapabilities?  That would be great!

Also, the english translation for the comment  form fields is alittle awkward.  The "missing" part is confusing. 

- missing text for captcha = enter text from captcha ?

- missing text for email visible only to blogger = do not publicly display my email address ?

-  missing text for private message = private comment, do not display publicly ?

- missing text for subscribe =  do not subscribe (or maybe do subscribe??)  ?

Thank you!

Two more comments ....

1) When posting the last comment I received notification of an errormessage, captured by your error handler.  I hit BACK to try tosave my comment text, but the form did not display when goingback.  It appears that the comment was added anyway, but I thoughtit had been lost at first.

2) This FCK editor seems to want to remove spaces between my wordsunless I'm very careful about typing.   Its a strangebehavior.

 

Thanks!

In general it looks really good!!! :)

Some points:
- I would suggest to use also TinyMCE (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinymce/) as WYSIWYG editor.
- International settings would come from Java locales. There is only CFMX 6.x supported locales.
- Unicode chars ok on "categories" section but not ok in "links", "edit users", "file library" etc.
- There is no date edit while posting and editing. I think this would be useful.
- Overall texts such as "missing text for ...".
- While adding comment I got following error:

An error occurred when performing a file operation write on file E:/WEBROOT/demirkapi.net/web/AVBlog/storage/xml/comments/F06633BE-FF7D-B865-DCEEBCB06B3411BD_DC8D1027-F984-DFA6-EAABC2285616352E.xml.

I think there is a right problem etc.
 
 
I have to say that I have just checked in a short time, I will check in detail in weekend. :)

You can see my test page via http://demirkapi.net/avblog/ (admin:admin).

I hope future of this project wont be like CFXML_Blog. :)
