things i'd like to see in antville:

1. general standard compliance for xhtml (in progress)
2. better support of important html attributes in macros like id and style to give javascript coders as well as css layouters more flexibility (and reduce feature requests) done.
3. skins for search output done.
4. next/prev search results links should appear in place of the "link to newer/older entries" macro
5. macros as parameters (ie. macros in macros!) the way as discussed a while ago (but i cannot remember where...?); looked something like this: <% handler.macro param=$myMacro %> no priority.
6. in all input submit tags the name attribute should be used for processing a form, not the value attribute (still missing e.g. in edit profile) done? done
7. extending the topic macro to provide generation of topic icons, links or simple plain output of the topic's name done.
8. extending the story macro to return only the first n characters of the story (ie. preview) done (limit and clipping parameter in content macro)
9. skins for "send password" form (and i believe there are still other yet unsupported pages that need skincare).
10. form content should not disappear when an error occurs after submit done
11. skin customizing of breadcrumbs (topics) done
12. "RE: reply title" as default in new comment editor (as it is done at userland) done.
13. rewrite of commentcounter macros (w/o spaces, link as default) done.
14. more adequate edit profile error messages (done?)
15. remove signup form skin (it's empty by default done.

things i'd like to see disappearing in antville:

1. &nbsp; in calender days (de-bloat the calendar, pleeeease!) done.
2. res.write in non-macro functions (trouble! e.g. renderTextPreview cannot be re-used at some other place in the middle of a string processing task) resolved.
3. whitespace / breaks at the end of a posting (done?) done

during the last six weeks setting-up a bunch of weblogs with antville, i wrote down some things i noticed and turned them into a wishlist of features, requests or changes i'd like to see in antville. just for the records i posted it here, ready for discussion (some things might have been discussed already, please don't bother about this).

it's probably not an antville but a helma problem. is there a chance that you create better 302 pages? the grey

Document moved This document has moved here.

looks like an error message. i suppose a nicer design and a positive message like "your changes have been received. please click here to see the updated page" (or better) would cause less confusion.

remark: this page appears only with old netscape because of a bug. some explanation in german can be found here. check metababy with netscape 4.x for an example.
