Round of Bug Fixes and New Features

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Long overdue, I’ve fixed some old (and newly discovered) bugs on the site:

  • Fixed the weird characters displaying in posts and titles. Seems something had changed on our hosts’ end causing the wrong character encoding to be set.
  • Fixed a bug where all new feeds would have the “show comment link” option turned off, and unable to be turned back on.
  • Fixed the bug which meant tag replacement options wouldn’t be saved properly.

The following features have been added/changed:

  • The aggregator is now more flexible in the way that videos can be embedded in posts. As a result, more videos in posts will now display.
  • When adding a feed manually, the system now checks straight away whether or not it can find information at the given URL, and suggests a URL to the user if they’ve given the wrong feed address (if it can find something to suggest).
  • The individual author page now displays a simple list of posts, rather than grouping by feed. It turns out that this works better for authors with more than 1 or 2 feeds.
  • Changed some wording to make things a little clearer when adding feeds.
  • Improved the way lists display in aggregated posts.

How to Embed Videos

Perhaps you’re wondering how to get embedded videos (such as Youtube) to show on your posts at inConversation?

Well, you can; the trick is to use valid XHTML, and we’ve put up some examples for you!

Anyone want to make some promo videos for inConversation?!
