the fat calendar and some other tiny things

it took me hours to figure out why the calendar on alo is so huge. contrary to the previous version the macro <% param.day %> now returns the number surrounded by two &nbsp; spaces. can you please change it back? adding the spaces in the default calendar skins should do the job as well.

i also realised that the formerly mentioned redirection behaviour is actually more confusing than expected when it comes to collaborative sites with non-antville-savvy members. in particular on alo or on metafilter-inspired sites, which are essentially forum sites where members can only post to the frontpage and discuss frontpage posts, it introduces another unnecessary concept to the user. the normal member does not need to see the story pool, because for him the site consists only of posts and replies.

finally, i think the tagline in the default template would be cool.

Kommt Zeit kommt Feature ;o)

Feature Request: Ich wünsche mir ein zusätzliches Input-Field Link bei den Stories, das dann auch im Link-Tag des dazugehörenden RSS-Feeds eingetragen wird.

Damit kann ich dann einfach die Überschriften der Rollberg-Meldungen mit der Quelle verlinken (so wie schon im alten Rollberg).

Features of antville

  • simple and fast creation of weblogs (it takes just two clicks!)
  • easy upload of images (including resizing and automatic creation of thumbnails) and any other data (called "goodies", i.e. sounds, videos, pdf or word files ...). Both images and goodies are organized in seperate pools for easy maintenance. Uploaded images and goodies can be embedded in layouts, stories or comments.
  • easy creation of stories (including preview of offline stories) plus the ability to structure contents by assigning them to custom definable "topics" and linking them together using a wiki-like syntax
  • fulltext search (searches in both stories and comments)
  • a fully customizeable set of "skins" (which are sort of layout snippets) that enables weblog-owners to completely change design and structure, plus
  • a rich set of macros (which are special tags you can embed in skins or content-elements)
  • easy-to-create polls that can be embedded either in stories or somewhere in a skin
  • RSS-feeds for all hosted weblogs plus a RSS-formatted list of weblogs (sorted by their last update)
  • Access- and referrer-logging
  • multiple authors per weblog plus the ability for weblog-owners to add other users to the list of members and to define their permissions (currently there are four predefined roles: subscriber, contributor, content manager and admin).
  • user-registration and weblog-subscription (currently without mail notification)
  • a set of defineable preferences (including language and country, enabling or disabling weblog-archive, color-definitions etc.)
  • calendar- or page-based navigation (or both)
  • automatic conversion of pasted urls into links

For more information have a look at macros.antville.org (in progress) or help.antville.org

date formats

i think some of the short date formats are looking a little bit weird: instead of dd.MM, hh:mm and the variations up to d.M, h:m i'd rather like to see dd.MM. hh:mm and so on (ie. replacing the colon with a dot).

btw. generally, i am totally against all these us-american non-sense formats including disordered parts like MM.dd.yyyy...
