User Registration

John Hilton — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:45:51 -0000

I think it would be great to allow prospective to 'register' on the site (like I did for the support forum) and choose their own user name and password and enter their email address. I don't really want to manually create users login and passwords for the amount of members likely to use this blog and have to send them out by email. I would like to limit comments to registered users rather then everyone as at present so this would mean all members would need to have a login and password.

From those registered, the administrator(s) could then assign additional blog 'rights'. An ability for registered user to reset or be sent their password would be cool too!

A "Like" Feature

Tone Garot — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:08:09 -0000

I would like to see the addition of a "Like" feature, similar to the "Like" in Facebook. This is different from the "Rating" system.

Translations using gettext

Gabor — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 11:54:45 -0000

The current language system is already gettext compatible. To make translation more comfortable xgettext can be used to extract pot file. (Template).
Currenlty this is possible for example with:
find -path "./languages*" -prune -o -iname "*.php" -print >languages/files.lst
xgettext -f languages/files.lst -k_sb -L PHP -s -o strings.pot -p languages -c --no-wrap --debug --omit-header

This would be easier if all translations use _sb().
Currenlty the pot.php search direct access to lang_string[], It would be consquente if this is replaced by using _sb() function call.

_sb could be redirected to php gettext function, which could be a little bit faster.

Blog Subject Becomes A Link

Tone Garot — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:56:21 -0000

When I look at the following link:

/blog/index.php?d=12&m=12&y=12

It shows me several entries all on the same page. That's cool.

What I would like is for each Subject to be a link to the entry itself. For example:

<a href="/blog/index.php?m=12&y=12&entry=entry121210-122952">This is the Entry Subject</a>

Oh, and text-decorations: none;

Non-user Comment - Information missing on comment

Tone Garot — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:50:10 -0000

This is related to my last feature request. That one cited missing information on moderation. This feature request is to show the E-mail address and URL they specify on the actual comment.

Also, their name goes into the wrong section. It goes into:

Well, that's the same style as the entry title. I would prefer a different style, like blog_comment_name, or something like that.

Non-user Comment - Information missing on moderation

Tone Garot — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:45:10 -0000

There is some missing functionality when a non-user adds a comment, then I moderate it.

They are asked for:
Name
Email
URL
Comment

But when I moderate, I only see the person's name. I don't see their E-mail address or URL. I would also like to see their IP address.

Blog Name as link to home

Tone Garot — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:32:50 -0000

I would like to see the Blog Name be a link back to Home.

That is, in preferences, you have "Blog Name." This outputs at the top of my chosen theme on any page. I would like to be able to click upon that name to bring me to /blog/index.php.

Improved Language Support

nabber00 — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 04:11:15 -0000

1. Convert existing language files to more standard gettext .po format
2. Parse .po file if it exists, otherwise fall back to original strings.php
3. Add IETF language tag to id.txt
4. Add new language import code to a standard header file

static page for first page

Mohd Azuan Johan — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 04:52:23 -0000

i like this feature, since version 5&6 i try to modified the source myself so that it will appear the static page rather than get_latest_entry()
in version 7 you can choose which static page will assigned at "Use specific category for first page of entries: "

but there is no "previous" button like the other entry. my suggestion is the mainpage will has 'previous' button so that viewer can click to continue read the blog to go to the newest entry.
