Better Blogs [Deleted]

[upnet]

I have the free version of better blogs and now have 14 blog posts. It seems that's the limit for the free version? I'm willing to pay the $50 for the full-version, but it am wondering is this add-on supported? Will there be updates soon? And can I easily transfer my blogs from the free version to the paid version?

@Rigel Kentaurus ?

Rigel announced a massive rewrite of this add-on some time ago which should be published soon.
However I don't know the current state of that rewrite.

Where can we find this announcment ???

Here:

Just FYI I am currently developing the Blog, it is not going anywhere
There has not been any update recently because, well, I need time to code the update

I am hoping to release a big update as soon as possible

 

[hollosch]

He should solve the support problems first...

Once you install the paid version, everything transfers seamlessly
It is a drop-in replacement, just upload the new files, the xml from the add-ons space, and that's it

Do not uninstall the free version, as that would remove all the posts and data

Upgraded to paid version. Not seeing much difference from free demo. Definitely some bugs to work on. Hope you update this soon!

Is there a way to get a widget on the homepage of the forum to show recent blog entries? That would increase viewership of the blogs substantially.

Yes, it has built-in widgets for Widget Framework as long as you have that add-on

Aha. That is an upgrade! Thanks for response. However the avatars in the widget are significantly bigger than all my other widgets. How do I scale them down to match?

 

[upnet]

Ok maybe avatar size isn't that big of a deal. But
I am logged in as administrator and I don't see a way to edit blogs? Am I missing something here? I checked my permissions and says can edit blogs.

You mean the entries? The edit button should be there!

Im logged in as admin, no edit button for blog.

Deleting user deletes blog entries! Not good!

Every time I try to import it tries to find the attachment directory. We have no attachments and they are stored in database

Has anyone removed the navigation tab for Better Blogs? I've been thinking of replacing it with a simple menu on blog pages only.

We are facing problems with the display of customization options for "sidebar" and "sidebar text" : they are hidden by the sidebar itself (appears under).
Is there a way to manage this with css ?
Thank you for your help

Importing from IP.Blog creates an issue. All blog comments show html tags (e.g. <p></p>).

@Rigel Kentaurus is the new version going to be weeks, months? Just helpful to have a loose idea.

@Rigel Kentaurus I am curious as well on what @Rob said above with regards to the release date
