Autopublish is finally really truely here, plus a couple other ride-along improvements:

*Alt Tag*

On the story edit page image tags are pre-generated for users to copy
and paste into stories. It used to be the alt value generated was
the keyword, and if no keywords, the filename. It’s now caption if
there is one, then keywords, if there are any, then filename. This
is done and available live now.

*Profile Story Sort Order*

The current liquid provides a list of stories from oldest to newest.
To get a list from newest to oldest you’ll need to change the
liquid. The liquid that needs to change is any reference to
‘person.published_stories’. Change these references to
‘person.recently_published_stories’ and the same list of stories will
appear in reverse order, from newest to oldest.

Current example:



      {% if person.published_stories != empty %}

          Stories written by {{ person.name }}
          <a href="%7B%7B%20person.stories_rss_url%20%7D%7D" rel="nofollow"></a>

{{ story.title }} {{ story.published_at |
date }}

With new edits:



      {% if person.recently_published_stories != empty %}

          Stories written by {{ person.name }}
          <a href="%7B%7B%20person.stories_rss_url%20%7D%7D" rel="nofollow"></a>

{{ story.title }} {{ story.published_at |
date }}

We did hit a couple of bumps in the road on autopublish, due to how the internal clock is set, but we’re working on fixes now. We’re also planning to get the clock down to hours, which will help also.

This release is awesome. Everything I knew I wanted (autopublish) and everything I didn’t know I wanted (template staging).

Well, as you can see we’re working to get more up on the blog (and even link to it from the main site…) The forums will hopefull allow our userbase to both give us feedback, and help each other! We’re ahppy to have gotten some new life (and thanks to CIM (see previous story) for providing that jolt)

Lovin’ the stagin’! It would be great to see this blog be more active, but maybe the forums can take over that responsibility?

Christina Wodtke — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 09:58:11 GMT

*File under ’’Lessons not yet Learned’‘*

Probably this is the wrong venue for this comment. But that’s self-reflective; I’m writing to say, “Hey, how come I can’t find a place for feedback on site function!” So please do delete this as you see fit.

I wanted to relate how “Delete” on comments works from the Admin page but not on the story page.
And that you have <p> showing on your People page.
All of this /after/ saying, “Woot woooot! I love it!”
