[TaylorJ] Blogs 1.0.0

1.0.0 Gold release is here!

Changes from Release Candidate 2:

• New error popup for selecting a date/time in the past when scheduling a post
• Blog options and Permissions have been re-ordered to appear at the bottom of their respective pages to follow standards (no longer at the very top of each page).

Bug Fixes:

• Blog posts that are scheduled with a date in the past now throw an error saying to choose a date in the future
• Removed instances of Resource reviews in blog_post_view

Bug fixes

• member_list_macros template modification: Removed usage of canViewResources and replaced with canViewBlogs
• member_macros template modification: Removed usage of canViewResources and replaced with canViewBlogs

This will be the last beta release for this add on as I have now implemented all MVP features that I wanted for a gold release. If any bugs are reported after this release they will be fixed in a Release Candidate, otherwise the next release will be the gold version.

New Features
Draft Posts - Blog posts can now be stored as a draft post and can be saved for until they are ready for the public to see.
Blog Limit - Admins can now set a limit to the number of blogs that can be created. Right now this is a global setting but will see changes over time to make it a on basis user group / user permission.
Minimum XF Version - The addon.json file now defines a minimum XenForo version needed for this addon, which is 2.3.

Bug fix

• Fixed bug on install/upgrade due to accidentally naming two different table keys the same string

With this release the Blogs addon no longer supports 2.2.x and only 2.3.x

New features

• Reports - Users can now report blog posts to get moderator/admin attention
• What's New Page - Blog Posts have been added to the what's new page with a widget that can be placed in the main overview
• User Profile View - Blog Posts are now listed on a users profile page as a place to find all of their posts no matter which blog

Bug Fixes

• Default forum for comment threads not being chosen on install has now been fixed, this will now use your first available forum option that is a discussion type forum for comments unless changed in the addons settings

New Features

• Comments! - Blog Posts will now automatically create a thread that will serve as the discussion home of a blog post in any forum specified in the blogs settings.
  • All previous blog posts that were created before this release will have threads created for them on upgrade, if this fails I will try to get a hotfix out as soon as possible with a tool added to run this same function from the ACP.
  • For this beta release you will initially need to go into your settings and select a forum even though it looks as if one already is, this will be fixed in the next release.
• Cover Images - Blog Posts will now take the first attachment inserted into a blog post and use that as the cover image on the blog view!
  • With this new feature the styling for blog posts on the blog page have been changed back to not showing bb code in their snippets to align with how XenForo handles article posts.
• Sharing! - Blog Posts can now be shared same way that regular posts can.
• Scheduled Posts
  • Blog Owners now have a separate view for their scheduled posts so that they are not cluttered in with their visible posts.
  • Scheduled Posts can now have their scheduled post time changed

This addon is now 2.3 compatible! The addon will remain compatible with XenForo 2.2 until the addition of JavaScript is ever required for this addon.

An abundance of styling changes have been made to bring the UI inline with XenForo standards with 98/99% of that being contributed by @Old Nick !!

New features:

• Schedule Posts - Blog owners may now schedule a post to not post until a specified date and time!
• Watch a Blog - Users can now watch blogs and receive alerts whenever a new blog post has been made!

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug where anyone could make a blog post on any blog even if they did not create it.
• Fixed a bug where the blog_post_count_total column would be updated on a edit to a blog post causing the number to not stay in sync with the actual amount of blog posts in a blog.
• Fixed a permission bug with canEdit when for both blogs and blog posts which allowed anyone to edit a blog post.
• Fixed an install bug where a column was not being created properly with the correct type.
• Fixed a bug where when editing a blog instance it would just create a brand new blog with the changes and leave the original alone.
• Fixed a bug where blog post owners were able to react to their own content

New Features:

• Reactions! Users can now react to blog posts (styling pending)

Upgrade steps have been added for 1.0.0 Beta 4 so you should be able to upgrade like normal.

Bug Fixes:

• Blog creation not going through due to childId's for search indexing not being callable
