Link to a Post's Channels/Categories

(by Seth Dillingham, @ 11:00 PM)

A long time ago, it was requested that a weblog post's list of categories be linkable to channels. In other words, it should be possible to make each item in the output of #weblog.item.categories (which produces a list of the categories assigned to a weblog post) into a link to the corresponding channel.

Until now, I don't think that was possible.

There are two new attributes: links (true or false) and datedLinks (true or false). The default value for both of them is false (so if you don't specify them, they're treated as false).

If links is "false" (or not specified), then datedLinks is ignored.

If links is "true" and datedLinks is "false" then the category names will be links to the channel's homepage, like news.

If links is "true" and datedLinks is "true" then the category names will be links to the appropriate day in the channel's archives, like news.

See this site's weblog for an example of the macro being used this way: <!--#weblog.item.categories links="true" datedLinks="true"-->

some news, and a status update

(by Seth Dillingham, @ 3:52 PM)

To anybody who's still paying attention to this forum...

Months ago I had planned to make an announcement, but then work was extremely busy for a month, and my stepson died, unexpectedly, in March. That took all the wind out of my sails for awhile, but I'm finally ready to move ahead with this... so, the announcement:

I'm planning to finish Weblog II over the 4-6 weeks, and release it to the rest of the Conversant users. There are some more new features coming, and plenty of bugs to fix, but -- as I think you all know -- the software is pretty stable and quite functional already.

When Weblog II is released, Conversant 1.0 is going to be officially done.

There's another big announcement to follow the release of Conversant 1.0 (good news), but I don't want to spoil all the fun now, so you'll have to wait for that.

Anyway, Weblog II's current feature set has had a lot of time to burn in, but there are some things I've been promising for ages but haven't yet delivered. It's time to deliver.

I also have a request, but I'll post it in a reply to this email.

Seth
