tried to upload an image for my blog and it caused server errors, I dont know why or how to fix it.

Not much I can do to help without you posting the server errors.

Will have a fix out tomorrow night / this weekend for this. I'm assuming you're running XF 2.3.8?

Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome plugin!

Is uninstalling then reinstalling the plugin safe to do in Xenforo Cloud 2.3.7 without losing the existing blog entries?

I wanted to make a change in the code regarding the blog post title character length, as I couldn't find a way to configure it in the control panel.

Not fully sure on it being safe to do on the cloud or not but the setup script does drop all of the DB tables created so I doubt it. With the update I put out for the bug posted above I'll add an option so Admins/permission holders can update the allowed length of a blog post title, tbh should have had that in from the beginning but was overlooked.

Update should hopefully be out tonight. Had some preoccupation with life situations and spent my time bug squashing and getting unit tests finally setup after fixing/adding the above two solutions.

hmm, having an issue on my end where draft-posts are visible to all users and guests

 

[Taylor J]

That's on the user profile view right? Will have a fix out this weekend for that.

Is there any way to increase the character limit for creating blog posts? I couldn't find the option, and it's not possible to create posts with more than 40 characters.

Is this for the body of the blog post or the title?

 

[Hareon]

The title.

And you're on 1.6.0+? You should see the following at the bottom of the addons settings page...

 

[Hareon]

Yes and my settings are in 250. But I cant type more than this:

Strange, will take a look tonight/tomorrow. Apologize about the delay, dealing with a major feature experiment release at work.

Thank you!
