I Just released the 1.07 version of AVBlog (both Lite and Full version).
Download the AVBlog Lite 1.07 here
It's a minor release that finally offers true CFMX 6.1 and BlueDragon 6.2 compatibility.
- In CFMX 6.1 only the GUI administration and GTalk feature is not present.
- With Bluedragon also the autoping feature is disabled.
Please let me know if you have problems and please if you want send me translations for the blog, in order to make a translation simply send me the xml files you find in the languages folder properly translated.
Just wanted to ask, I downloaded the version 1.06 just a few days ago and you and I worked together to getting it up and running on my server. Is there anything in the 1.07 that I should look at and download that will enhance or change what I currently have?
By the way thank yo for your help. When my client gets their act together I will make sure and give you the link to add to your list of those using the software.
By the way, next time you see me on line (tigerladybarb or just tigerlady) I have another special project using Event Gateways that you may be interested in working with me on.
Thank again.
This blog was installed on my local CFMX7 and ran without any problems. Great application.
However, when I installed the AVBlog on a shared server at CrystalTech I got a permissions error: access denied. The problem has to do with CF Schedule and I don't know what it all means (I use CF applications, not a programmer). Can you help with this message (Thanks):
"CF schedule is disabled on our shared servers. You can use the control center for the any scheduled tasks that need to be run." - CrystalTech Support
Thanks much for a vry fine Blog application.

Meanwhile you can fix it simply commenting the lines from 404 to 418 of the file /config/configuration.cfm that will look like this:
<cffunction name="initSchedule" output="false" returnType="void">
<cfargument name="active" required="no" default="true">
<!---
<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>
--->
</cffunction>
Thanks for your response.
I made the changes you sugested by just removing the lines of code. Then I got errors in the Application.cfc (starting at line 407 - init not found etc). I tried removing these again and the errors just propagated to more problems.

Hi, please send me an email with details of your installation, if you can
provide me with an access to your installation it should be even better.
Bye
Andrea,
I love the way your blog works. It's exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you for taking the time to build it.
I downloaded both the full version and the lite version and put them up on my server, which is running 6.1 and I got the follwoing error the frist time I tried to use it. I read the install txt file and it didn't say anything about changeing configuration files so I don't even know where to start.
Here is the message:
An error occurred when performing a file operation read on file C:/CFusionMX/wwwroot//config/configuration.cfm. |
|
| The cause of this exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\config\configuration.cfm (The system cannot find the path specified). | |
| The error occurred in E:\sites\rother\alan.rotherfamily.net\www\cfc\configuration.cfc: | |
Any thoughts? The site is located on the e drive
E:\sites\rother\alan.rotherfamily.net\www\
Thanks again

Could not find the included template /avblogrelease_107/plugins/cms/customtags/cms.cfm"
I looked and the file is obviously there. Do I need to change anything in the application.cfm file upon installation? I thought it was just supposed to work right out of the zip file. Thanks for any insight,
Jeff
You're not alone :(
Unfortunately other two users alerted me on the matter.
it seems a problem with some installation of CFMX that i've not discovered yet.
I've fixed the problems with this two people and i'll release a 1.08 version
next days wich fix it.
Write me directly if you want further information.
Thanks :)
>Were you going for a stronger XML backend instead of the database?
Well i love the Xml feature but i decided to let people decide what storage system prefer.
The database is intentionally minimal in design as i'd like to get the wide compatibility as

Well i do not like them very much too, but in this case i had very little alternatives.
I want people can change from xml to db at a glance (and soon from db to xml too) and there is a wizard for doing that.
Having to cope with xml files it shoud be difficult to build a mechanism for numeric keys, UUID solves the problem and can be used in DB with no problems at all.
There is also another reason due to minor SQL complexity and wider DB compatibility as no proprietary system is used for authomatic numeric key generation.

Thanks, i'll be very happy to use them :)
Thanks again.

>Andrea,
this error occurs on slideshow.cfm page?
keep an eye on the tables for photoblog, the data about the photos were loaded?
>One thing though, you will have to warn people that since XML is not very friendly that they

In the install.txt file is specified that the default installation use XML as storage.
I really do not understand why do you say XML is not very friendly :)
Anyway i should build an initial setup in which some strategic info such as storage system, locale
and language are set.
> I'll be playing with it on my website and tooling around inside the code to get it to work.

Umh, you're not using something MSSQL Server specfici? ;)
Bye and thanks for you help.

It's make sense :), let me know how you go with it.

Thanks to you for the attention you're giving to AVBlog.
And let me know if you go on production with a Blog, so i can add it to the list of people using it.

Hello andrea,
This is an amazing program, I can't believe you give it for free. I have a question... if I want to set up more than one blog on the same server, is that possible? I'm having the problem that when I unzip the file into the server directory it interfere's with already installed blogs. Is it possible to have more than one blog?
