JRoller: Roller 0.9.9 upgrade complete

I have successfully upgraded JRoller.com to Roller 0.9.9. If you encounter any problems please report a issue on Roller's JIRA issue tracker located here: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller.

For all users: Roller now supports locale and timezone settings for each user. You can set your locale and timezone on the Website->User page of the Editor UI.
For users (excluding Hani) who have customized page templates: if you added a call to $pageModel.getRecentWeblogEntries() in your weblog templates, you will need to add a second argument to the call. In Roller 0.9.8 the method took only one argument, an integer being the number of entries to return. In Roller 0.9.9, the method takes a second parameter, a string being the category of posts to be displayed. Pass in "/" to include all categories. For example: $pageModel.getRecentWeblogEntries(15,"/") would get up to 15 recent entries in all categories.

I am not able to delete the category. I know i should go and search in JIRA, if not found file a bug. I will do that if this comment is not answered for a while.

Dave, I don't have JIRA password, so I'm posting what I found here. From what I see, I think this only happens in JRoller, the calendar is not working.

A couple of other problems that I have noticed. Bookmarks are not working on some Weblogs due to "more than one root folder" problem. Also, calendars are not working on some Weblogs.

I was able to fix the "more than one root folder" problem by modifying my Velocity template to use:

#showBookmarks("/Spring Bookmarks" true true)

instead of:

#showBookmarks("Spring Bookmarks" true true)

Matt, that was not all it took to fix your bookmarks. You had an extra root folder in the database and I deleted it via SQL. I'm working on a fix for this in the database upgrade code and in the ConsistencyCheck utility.

Am I blind or we lost trackback send in this new already-Hani-billed UI?

Looks like people aren't seeing the "enable comments" option either, the few new posts I've read all had comments disabled.

Posted by Lance on May 31, 2004 at 01:02 AM EDT #

Yes, enable comments should default to true.

I am facing problem due to the bullets in the macros #showRecentEntries(20), this ruining my page layout. How can I remove the bullets?

Dehashish, use CSS list-style-type:none, maybe something like this in your CSS file would work:<p />

li.recentPosts {
   list-style-type: none;
    padding: 0px;
}

Thanks a lot Dave! Seems the problem was not due to the "Recent Posts" list but rather the search form (#showSearchForm()), have removed it temporarily...BTW did any body suggest about displaying the IP address along with individual's comment in the comments list.
