What kind of input are you looking for regarding the MultileBlog and Aggregator portion?  I've been thinking about this sort of feature for a while and would not mind giving you my thoughts, just wondering what kind of direction you are looking for.  

@Gustavo

Really i need further information, can you provide me with an Url for you installation?

@Evan

I'm still thinking on how to implement the new 2.0 features; i want to make multiblog easy as AVBlog is, i'd like the idea of having a folder in wich you have all your data and you can move it and having your blog ready without further work. On the DB side i'll add some blogid field on the tables and a new blogs table, but it's mandatory if i want to implemente the feature. The main problem will be how to find a way of doing all this work keeping intact the main structure of the application, i really like the way i've built it and i want to keep on this way.

As regards RSS aggregator i want to implement mainly as i need to build a community portal in Italy and i decided to use the AVBlog engine; so one user will be able to add RSS feeds to his blogs and to mix real posts with RSS feeded ones, nothing really new but useful if you have more than one blog or if you want to build a Blog with mixed content.

Ive used your blog in the past and i love it. however, i just downloaded your new beta and i have a question about using it with MS SQL 2000. I noticed your MS SQL script and i used it to create my tables. but i noticed that it didnt create and ID fields in the tables that autonumbered/incremented or anything. Is this not needed for your blog?

@Richard

In order to have the wider db support i preferred not to use any DB specific feature; so, for example, primary keys are always uuid.

I know this does not help performance at all, but this is a Blog and not a DB intensive application, so using standard and plain SQL in
the queries grant AVBlog an easy way to run on any DB platform.

Andrea,

Thanks for the info but i do have another question.

When i go into the admin and click "configuration settings" it shows "loading...."  and then disappears, nothing else comes up. Any ideas?

Richard

 

Umh, it seems an error in the custom tag for configuration, can you let me have an access to your installation?

Bye
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
I'm using the beta 3
I have a couple of issues and a question and would be grateful for your help?
1) Line #361 in Application.cfc reads:

if (left(request.cfcMapping,1) is '.')
   request.cfcMapping = right(request.cfcMapping,decrementvalue(len(request.cfcMapping)));

I had to comment this out because if you install in to the root as I did then rights 2nd parameter is 0 which throws an error.

2) Most of the admin stuff doesn't work for me.  Just  "loading" appears very quickly. Seems the last commenter also posted this error and you mentioned an issue with a custom tag, but not the resolution?

3) Is AVBlog - GPL and AVBlog Lite LGPL... not quite clear from my quick surfin around the site?
Thanks,
Matt

The fixed line is this:

            if (left(request.cfcMapping,1) is '.' and len(request.cfcMapping) gt 1)
                request.cfcMapping = right(request.cfcMapping,decrementvalue(len(request.cfcMapping)));

I'll publish the AVBlog 1.5 on 25 of november and it should work fine.

>3) Is AVBlog - GPL and AVBlog Lite LGPL... not quite clear from my quick surfin around the site?

Both are GPL, if i wrote something different let me know as i've to fix it :)
