   Prit, I started a new thread because links to existing ones don't work

   1. Potential Bugs with nicEdit / you might wnat to check the following:
   - entering links repeates the url / doesn't work
   - wrong link buttons on editor used to enter comments
   - strange results when loading a picture from url
   - if you like to check it on my server, test blog3 is at http://enbaires.com/blog3/

   2. Clean URLs ?
   - links look as: http://enbaires.com/blog3/index.php/viewEntry/00003/post_title
   - I think "index.php" shouldn't be part of it for url to be considered clean
   - link structure in your own forum http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/pritlog-visual-styles reflects the clean form I'm talking about

   3. Categories and Titles
   - using ccs span class to break line on long cats/titles works fine, but it doesn't look nice if somebody decides to enter 200 chars. I would prefeer the solution I used on my test blog1 to limit max number of chars and display how many are left as you type. It forces people to think a shorter and more meaningful phrase

   - same for category names, plus the fact that long lines use to much space on the tag cloud which doesn't look good either

   - regardin category names, I would prefeer to use fixed short names defined by admin, and selectable by authors using a dropdown menu in the entry form. In this way the blog would have a more consistent structure, and words appearing on the cloud would also be predefined

   4. MyBlue theme
   - I'm trying to adapt the mini calendar to use it in my v0.8 theme

   - on v0.7 viewEntry function shows the following for flatfile
   $date1 =$entry[2];
   $dateArra =explode(",",$date1);
   $dateArray=explode(" ",$dateArra[0]);
   $postMonth=$dateArray[1];
   $postDay =$dateArray[0];

   - on v0.8 function only shows $date1 = $row['date'];
   - what code do I need to get month and day from SQLite into separate vars ?

   5. I just tested to embed a youtube video and it works great !
   - the video is a 50min. presentation by SQLite's author, very interesting

   Hi John ..

   1 - On the 5 different test servers I tried Pritlog on, nicEdit works just fine. Please let me know if you are using any addons for nicEdit (or Pritlog addons). I tried your comments plugin and it is working fine, icons are also correct. Anything I am missing?

   2 - Clean urls as considered by search engines are URL's without the special characters like ?, & etc. Index.php being a part of the url does not affect this definition in anyway. There should be a htaccess way to remove the index.php. I wanted Pritlog to work with clean urls even without depending on the htaccess. I don't think removing index.php can be achieved without htaccess. Atleast, have never seen this.

   3 - There are several opinions out there regarding making these fixed vs not. I am choosing to go with - let the users/admin decide the length as they write the post rather than a hard and fast rule. If they post a big title/category, they can see that it looks ugly and change it to look better. I don't want Pritlog to handle everything for the user.

   4 - I think you might be able to get the date like this:
   $month = date("M",strtotime($row['date']));
   $date = date("d",strtotime($row['date']));

   5 - Great!

   Thanks for testing John.

   clean urls
   as i said before, your own forum doesn't show index.php

   Example:
   http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/08-alpha1-comments

   do you mean you are using .htaccess to achieve it ?

   my guess is that it has something to do with the "path" vars we discussed a few days ago (when no links were working on my server until i started to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])

   Hi John .. As far as I have understood from all the reading on SEO and clean urls, the presence of index.php in the url does not disqualify a url from this classification of being clean. Only if it has the special characters like '?', '&' etc, it falls short of being an absolutely clean url.

   However, I will do more reading to find out how to eliminate the index.php if possible without the htaccess.

   [Edit] This is how BBpress is achieving the clean urls. See the below example:
   http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/...
   In this url, topic is actually a PHP script and they are calling it without the PHP extension.

   You can achieve the same in Pritlog by removing the .php extension from index and renaming index to something more friendly like "blog". Since Pritlog is using a single file for all processing, to make the URL shorter than this, we would need to split Pritlog into several files - 1 for each processing.
