images

How to insert image to my story? I tried using the tag "" directly into my story text. but the image never show up. What's wrong?

Do I have to edit the macros or something?

By the way, thanks for doing this. It's terrific!!

two big wishes

first of all, i think sooner or later the weblogs need search engines. otherwise i would have looked up whether the following was already requested (sorry if it was): please increase the time-out. i think everybody writing on a longer piece already made the acquaintance of getting logged-out after submitting it and having to write it once again (or remain unheard).

Language

I'm having trouble with the text font for the log.
I'm trying to use thai font which is my language with the log and I have changed the font type in my preference both for title and for text and the title font shows thai characters just fine.

The text part is all messed up. I just don't know why the title font works and still the text won't. Please help.

small change, big effect

could we change the default skins so that story entries on the main weblog page contain a link to themselves (permalink) even if no comment has been posted yet?

This should also be available on weblogs with comments disabled, IMO.

update coming!

i'm gonna update antville in the next days, and i'll have to warn you before: the structure of skins has changed, which will most likely harm all weblogs hosted here. sorry for that. i'll try to do the basic changes in the database, but there will be some work left for you. this change was necessary to minimize the repeating layout-work in several skins (i.e. including the header-skin several times ...). to make things easier i rewrote the skinmanager and tried to explain what skin is used for what.

to make the update easier for everybody, i did some other things:

  • thumbnail-support: if you created a thumbnail for one of your uploaded images, you can now add them into a story by simply using <% weblog.thumbnail name="[image-name]" %>. this thumbnail can be linked to an external url, but if not it will link to a popup with the fullsize-image :-)
  • admins can now edit comments of others ...
  • There is a default-format for dates/timestamps now included in weblog-preferences. if no format-attribute is defined in a macro-call, this format will be used. if it's not defined, the system-default will be used (thanks tobi!)
  • Uploaded animated GIFs will not be crapped anymore. But resized animated GIFs will still be crapped (= the animation will be lost!). This means that the thumbnail of animated GIFs won't be animated, but the fullsize-view of it will be (thanks henso!)
  • There is a new macro called "logo" with which you can (and hopefully will) include one of this nice antville-buttons/logos that claudia made for us. just use <% logo name="[big|small|smalltrans|smallstraight|smallchaos]" %>.
  • the form for adding comments can now be placed into the story-fulltext
  • long words without spaces in the "recently modified"-box will now be wrapped because of <wbr>-tags (does this really work with all the browsers you're using?) thanks tobi!
  • I added a first version of an URL-autodetection in comments. That means that if someone pasts a URL into a comment, it will transform to a linkmacro-tag. If one writes a normal html-link, it will also be transformed to a linkmacro-tag. Please tell me if you detect any errors (and this is a big thanks to andi)

so due to the change of the skin-structure in antville i'll wait a few days with this update. PLEASE NOTE!!! if you really care about the design you gave your weblog you should save the source of your skins somewhere as files on disk (because some of them won't be editable anymore!). And as always: i'm happy to hear from you!

Allowed HTML tags and forbidden ones

Kris mentioned a while back that some HTML tags should be allowed in stories and comments while others should be forbidden. I'm watching into this now. Can anybody give me a more or less complete list of what tags should be allowed and what not?
