Hi Andrea,

now I tried to install your blog at my provider on cfmx 7.

Coldfusion throws an error because cfschedule is disabled by my provider.

Do you have any hint for a workaround? My provider allows via a control interface to run jobs.

Kind regards

Thorsten

You can disable scheduling (using only for feeding blog with posts by email) by comment the part of code between row 404 and row 418 on file cfc/configuration.cfc like this:

    <!---
        <cfif arguments.active and isnumeric(application.configuration.config.options.feed.email.scheduleinterval.xmltext)>
            <cfschedule
                operation="httprequest"
                action="update"
                task="AVBLOG_#application.applicationname#"
                startdate="#dateformat(now(),'mm/dd/yyyy')#"
                starttime="00:00:00"
                endtime="23:50:00"
                url="http://#cgi.SERVER_NAME#:#cgi.SERVER_PORT##request.appmapping#email.cfm"
                interval="#application.configuration.config.options.feed.email.scheduleinterval.xmltext*60#">
        <cfelse>
            <cfschedule
                action="delete"
                task="AVBLOG_#application.applicationname#">
        </cfif>

Andrea, I recently downloaded and installed AVBlog. It's the first blog software I've tried. I'm very impressed with your work! A couple of notes on installation to avoid CF errors: A folder called "logs" needs to be added to storage\xml otherwise the blog doesn't work. A folder called "captcha" needs to added to images otherwise a comment can't be added Once those folders were added it seems to be working OK. I have two questions though: What is a "permalink" and why would you use it? What is a "trackback" and why would you use it? Last, do you have a manual or "blogging 101" guide that explains the configuration choices, operations, etc.? I think I figured out most of it on my own but I'm curious if I've missed somthing. Thanks again for creating an excellent tool!

@Forrest Ficher

As regards logs and captcha folder you're right, unfortunately i deleted them in the last building;

A permalink is only a link like that:

http://www.veggiani.it/permalinks/2006/02/04/Fiat-a-Melfi/

That can universally identifies a post and that does not use strange and long urls and that in the address, at least, has date information (in my case year/month/day)

As regards trackback you can read here

Thanks for using my tool and please, if you open a public blog le me know so i can add your address on the lists of people using AVBlog

Hi there

I really like your Blog Application. Since installing it I noticed the following:

1. When editing or adding users the list does not refresh correctly. One has to reinit=1 to get the updated user list
2. The posts dont get sorted by date somehow. I added a couple of posts and most of them just get into the same day, but I see that they have a different date in the XML.
3. When adding a new post and clicking on the change date button the title and header gets deleted. Nothing else happens then hitting that button. I expected to be able to change the date. The same is when editing a post.

Other then that I really like your app. Well done.

Another thing I noted is that it would be way cool if people could subscribe to the blog by email and will get notified if a new post is posted. I thought that I saw something but I dont seam to get this working.

@Nitai

Thanks for the info; as regards the user bug you're right, i'll fix it in the next release.

For the date problem i do not know how the blog does this, can you provide me
with your url so i can make some tries? and on what platform have you installed it?

And as regards subscribing to the blog it's planned too for the next release.

Bye

The Blog looks awesome and would be great on our site. I get these errors: Any ideas of the cause. I'm running ColdfusionMX 6,1,0,83762 enterprise.

Attribute validation error for tag directory. The tag does not have an attribute called recurse. The valid attribute(s) are action, directory, name, filter, sort, newdirectory, mode. The error occurred in D:\Inetpub\eq.tv\html\avblog\plugins\cms\cfc\cms.cfc: line 4 Called from D:\Inetpub\eq.tv\html\avblog\Application.cfc: line 460 Called from D:\Inetpub\eq.tv\html\avblog\Application.cfc: line 13 Called from D:\Inetpub\eq.tv\html\avblog\Application.cfm: line 14 2 : 3 : 4 : objStoragecms = createobject("component","#request.storage#.cms"); 5 :

HI Warren, it's a bug i'll fix in the next release.

You can fix it by changing the row 23 of the file plugins/cms/cms/cfc/xml/cms.cfc

from:

        <cfdirectory directory="#request.appPath#/user/cms/metadata" action="list" name="getDirectory" filter="#filter#.xml" recurse="no">

to

        <cfdirectory directory="#request.appPath#/user/cms/metadata" action="list" name="getDirectory" filter="#filter#.xml">

If you prefer i can send you the fixed file, write me for about that.

Bye

Hi,

I tried using your blog on ColdFusion 6, but it's not working at all.
I removed all the "recurse" attributes for cfdirectory (in several pages), but now I'm getting errors about the validate="url" attribute on some cfinput tags.
You say that you made changes so that it works on CF6, but it seems to me that you didn't test it to make sure it actually works. The first page of the application doesn't even load without making modifications to the code.

Also there's no interface available to edit a photoblog. The [edit] link is there, but it just shows the photoblog.

Are there any plans on when a stable version will be available?

Regards

It's the fix that has to be done

It should be only in the manual addtrackback option.

I tested the AVBlog lite version and it worked (it worked because in the
lite version there were not the plugins responsable
for the recurse attribute problem).

It's my Fault for not testing the full version and i'm sorry for this.

>Also there's no interface available to edit a photoblog. The [edit] link is

It's a limit of the plugin; there is still no edit capabilities at this
time.

>Are there any plans on when a stable version will be available

The 1.07 version is on the way and it's aimed only to make AVBlog
working on Cf 6.1, Bluedragon and Railo.

hi Andrea, i have tried both the avblog and avblog lite. AvBlog is working fine at now, but the avBlogLite seems having some problems it give me an error when i start it, it doesn't find some files in plugin dir if i put the request files into this dir (copying from avBlog) it start work again but in this case i have not the Lite version. any way it is a great work bye ruggero ps: il mio inglese è molto globish
