OH MAN! I cannot tell you how excited I am that you got the updated WYSIWYG editor. SOOOOOO much better than having to copy text and paste it into the bold button. Major props. I do miss having the categories displayed right up top in plain sight, versus having to click a drop down to find it.

Also definitely digging on the new delayed post feature. Very nice Chris!

...back to playing with features.

Have a look at config.php, there are some variables you can change that determine which options are shown by default on the add/edit news form, including the comments box

Code:


// Default options for the add news form
$newsform_options['toggle_archive']        = 0; // 0 = Collapse archive options, 1 = Expand archive options
$newsform_options['toggle_date']        = 0; // 0 = Collapse date options, 1 = Expand date options
$newsform_options['toggle_summary']        = 0; // 0 = Collapse summary textbox, 1 = Expand summary textbox
$newsform_options['toggle_comments']    = 0; // 0 = Collapse comments options, 1 = Expand comments options
$newsform_options['toggle_categories']    = 0; // 0 = Collapse category options, 1 = Expand category options
$newsform_options['toggle_article']        = 1; // 0 = Collapse article textbox, 1 = Expand article textbox
$newsform_options['never_archive']        = 1; // 0 = Never archive is not selected, 1 = Never archive is selected
$newsform_options['allow_comments']        = 1; // Default comment options. 0 = No, 1 = Yes, 2 = Needs approval

I'm with William. I've yet to install it yet, but plan to check it out soon. I have a question and a comment:

Question: What happens to existing templates when you do an update from 3.6? Will I have to edit them to conform to the new tags/variables, or does the update script fix them up?

Comment: This is probably a debatable issue, but from a UI perspective, the show/hide smileys is a little backward to me. If I look at a smiley in the options, and it says "SHOW" beside it, my first impression is that will be shown. In fact, I need to click on "SHOW" to make it show, but then the link changes to "HIDE".

It's a small thing, and comes down to showing the current status vs. showing what you want to do to it. My GPS does the same thing, and I always have to think twice.

Nice work, and I think everyone using this should pony up a pint or two via the "Donate PayPal" button on the site.

As soon as I get a chance to check it out, I know I will. :flowers:

The only changes to the templates are the {shortstory} and {story} tags, which are now {summary} and {article}.

If you update and are still using an older template the system will automatically treat {shortstory} as {summary} and {story} as {article}.

1. Can we set default values for font face and size ?

2. Im also looking for size 13 in the drop-down menu although I will go find the script and add it. If you could advise would save time thanks..

3. addnews also adds an extra line at top of article. Please remove that extra line. It breaks up existing formats.

4. The story now calls a particular style sheet. This makes its difficult to make specific customisations to the way news is presented.

[i had previews of category top story on my home page. These now wont work and I had to disable them while I find a solution.

5. After upgrading to 3.7. Some changes are written into the database meaning that you cant easily go back to 3.6. Just cant find a way round the formatting problems that the upgrade has created.

We chose formatting within templates.
With 3.7, you have put all the formatting within the add and edit news module.

It means the we cant customise so easily if we dont call our style sheets from templates ??
