[TaylorJ] Blogs 1.2.1

No permission to download
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)
