Bug Fixes/Changes
- Cosmetic changes :
changed it so that if you click on the linklist name, it will go to edit links;
changed “edit links” to “preferences”;
added a new column in edit links, “last updated”;
- When adding a site via bookmarklet, it will attempt to autodiscover the RSS and autofill the RSS url for you.
- autodetecting RSS also autodetects favicons.
- added tips and tricks for sorting the linklist in the documentation.
- Fixed a problem the get_headers function for those people running PHP 4.x. (this function was introduced in PHP5)
- Rewrote the Parser class that imports the OPML files. I’ve tested OPML files from blogrolling, bloglines, netnewswire, and feeddemon.
- OPML Importing OPML files/feeds that have folders (i.e. bloglines) will now not error out. However, you will get the import into one big linklist.
- OPML Importing now allows you to also autodetect the RSS/Favicon URLs. While this may sound good, please be warned that if you use this functionality and you have a large list of links, then this could take a long time and possibly lock up your server. Take care using this!
- RFC 3229 is now used when “pinging” a site’s RSS url. This should speed up things when doing the exp:linklist:checkupdated tag as long as the target site is up to spec with RFC 3229. (as far as I know just about all the blogging/journal software is up to par) – thanks to paul and chris for suggesting (and helping out) with this.
- There may be a few other stealth changes in this release, as I’m sure that I added some things here and there.
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Bored
- Sad
- Angry
Thanks for the update which I’ve now installed. I’m still getting error messages when importing del.icio.us links and when I tried to import the furl xml file it imported but incorrectly. Any chance a fix can be done for that.
Upgrading to 3.0 and now my append links don’t show updated blogs. Not sure where the problem lies, I’ve done nothing more than do the upgrade.
Hmm, intriguing, nothing was changed there, And you’re still running the exp:linklist:checkupdated script?
yep. ~weird~
Another thing I found while exploring another persons blog, is that {url} might be too generic, and interfere with global variables (I’m unsure of the parsing order..)
What was done in the magpie plugin to fix the interference is to change internal variables (at least some that might cause problems) is to preface the variables with the name of the plugin/module. so {url} would become {linklist:url}, etc.
Thoughts?
