Blog Bundle Update

After long here is an update. Download Attach:blogsimple.zip Δ. This latest update fixes a few things:

• In BlogPages.GroupFooter the link to new BlogComments page is changed to use ?action=browse, so it does not appear with a questionmark pointing to edit the new page.
• In BlogComments.GroupFooter the form based on (:input:) markup is replaced with (:commentboxchrono:). This will make it easier to use acces codes.
• The README.txt has been revised.
• The bundle also contains the latest newpageboxplus.php and commentboxplus.php scripts.

The latest Cookbook:CommentBoxPlus script allows use of Access Codes. If you use a custom build form to enter comment, using (:input:) markup (as distributed up till now) and want to use Access Codes, then you need to modify your form, or replace it with (:commentboxchrono:) in BlogComments.GroupFooter. A modified version with Access Code may look like this:

[[<<]](:title {$BlogTitle}:)
>>left<<[[#commentbox]]
(:input form name=cboxform action={$PageUrl} method=post:)
(:input hidden n {$FullName}:)
(:input hidden action comment:)
(:input hidden accesscode {$AccessCode}:)
(:input hidden order chrono:)'''Add Comment:'''[[<<]]
(:input textarea text rows=7 cols=50 class=inputtext:)[[<<]]
Author: (:input text author {$Author} class='inputbox':)
Enter code %red%'''{$AccessCode}'''%%
 (:input text access size='4' maxlength='3' class=inputbox:)\
 (:input submit post Post class='inputbutton':)\
 (:input reset reset Reset class='inputbutton':)(:input end:)

Skin Updates

I updated all three skins: Gemini, FixFlow and Triad as well as Cookbook:ShowHide.

These updates fix a few bugs:

• The latest Cookbook:ShowHide script can now be installed without causing a fatal error (it needed to be deinstalled before, because the skins include their own version, now they will not load it and use the installed version instead).
• Fixflow and Gemini can now also use lnav and rnav divs, as Triad does, to give a topmenu with items both left and right. Use >>lnav<< and >>rnav<< to group the list items (same as Triad, so the PageTopMenu can work for all three without conditionals.
• The cookie settings have been improved, as there was a confusion of cookie naming. Now the skins create cookies for optional color, font etc settings with a skin-specific name and won't confuse each other any longer. The fontsizer cookie is shared by all three. A cookie set by javascript to indicate for php that javascript is enabled is now improved and does not appear in multiple ways any longer.

Triad Update

Another update. This time I added a cookie setting and reading routine to Triad for the toggling of the Sidebar and Rightbar. Now the toggle state will be remebered when reloading apage or visiting other pages. someone did ask for this a while back, but I cannot remember any more who asked or where the question was asked. I thought then that it may not be very useful, as one will not see the bars when navigating, but I changed my mind. In any case this feature can be disabled by setting $EnableToggleCookies = 0;. ~Hans
