Bugfix for formating preference

I just fixed a bug in the interface preferences page which wouldn't allow one to select manual formatting as the default.

Miscellaneous bugfixes

Powerblogs has really great users. Today a new user helped me find (and hence fix) the following bugs:

  • Fixed the documentation for the List Post Template and the Individual Post Template.

  • Also, fixed an off-by-one error in the script to rewrite history (modify the dates on posts).

Update: The rewrite history bug is now actually fixed. It turned out not to be an off-by-one error, but a bug about how daylight savings time was handled.

Preview

Previewing a post has now been moved to a window which pops up, showing a normal blog page with what the post would look like. This way previewing won't be nearly so cramped as it used to be with the preview area above the post composition area.

Miscellaneous updates
  • Fixed the spelling checker to unselect words when selecting the next word.

  • Fixed the bug which caused the spell checker to not come up at all in IE. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in IE6 — it won't show the suggestions when selecting a new word, but this is progress. At least it shows the (possibly) mis-spelled words and allows one to manually correct them. I'll get it to fully work on IE soon. (It is still a beta feature, after all.)

  • Added a feature to the co-blogger report to allow for a maximum word count per post, so as not to reward a single enormous post in preference to many medium-sized posts.
