Blite Blog

Blite : a lightweight blog app

Blite 0.1-beta4 Available

Posted 17 Apr 2012, 5:06 pm in Blite Development

This beta is now obsolete and should not be used.

With this beta I'm done (for now) with major code changes. I'm hoping to fix whatever bugs are found and declare it v 0.1 final.

Changes

  • Total post count (used to build pagination) should not include retracted and draft posts.
  • Use htmlspecialchars() before loading post title into editing form.
  • Make comment form set cookies for guest name, email, web address.
  • Fix more PHP notices.
  • CSS changes for <code> in themes. Forcing it to a block-level element is a bad idea :(
  • Bind sqlite query parameters to the prepared statement.
  • Wrap sqlite functions in custom functions as first step towards mysql support.
  • Clean up old code made obsolete by use of sql prepared statements.
  • Rewrite valid_email() function to use PHP filter_var() :)

Found a few 'bugs'.
See http://blog.vandorp.biz

1) named the blog "Daniel's blog." but settings says its Daniel (dislikes the comma apparently)
2) My layout seems messed up? Don't know why that is. Default seems messed up too :(

EDIT: it was because I typed this:
test

But with . instead of the bold closing tag
so like [b]test[/b. but with hacky braces

Use HTML code tag to show code unrendered, like <b>test</b>.

There's some php code in the clean_blogpost() function at the bottom of post.php that uses the php dom to cleanup your html, but I left it commented out for now....

ah okay, I meant i typed this:
<b>test</b. and it ripped the design apart :P

and the other one:

Yeah, I saw it :) I think the php dom would've fixed it -- at least enough to keep the page intact.

Bug. I forgot htmlspecialchars (again).

Looks awesome! Just installed it to play around with and the only thing I've noticed is that the admin pages are caching and hard to use (I need to force refresh to see my changes). Any chance of preventing caching of those pages?

Doug:
Have at look in init.php, just below session_start(), there's two lines that unset cache control headers. Comment them out :)

FWIW, the admin pages don't cache fo me. Probably browser-related, needs investigating... :)

I was looking for a simple blog system that was easy to integrate into my website. Blite fits the bill perfectly. Keep up the good work!

Doug when there isn't a configure.php file it should probably display an error. Don't hurry to release the 0.1 version. Ensure there are no bugs first. Make the bug tracker etc.

Good point. Added to the to-do list.

And don't worry, I'm not gonna rush a release. I can see a beta 5 on the horizon :)
