   Hi Prit,

   1. I published a post with the source of my preview function on my test blog, direct link: http://enbaires.com/blog1/viewEntry_00011.html

   2. Regarding image upload, I already tested the stuff posted at nicEdit's forum, its Ajax based and it works great but it isn't what I'm looking for.

   My current upload function creates a resized jpg (width 720px quality 85%) using postnbr_originalName.jpg to keep unique filenames. My pending task is to integrate the upload form into nicEdit to replace the ImageShack one. I don't intend to keep a separate upload field (the current form is only for testing)

   3. Yes, I had a chance to look at your seo friendly urls. I agree that using the post title on the links is a great idea ! It might also be possible to include the currently viewed post title into the page header <title>postTitle</title>, or even add the words to the keyword / content metatags ! Take that Google :-)

   - as you can see in my test blog, my .htaccess rewrites links like viewCategory_catxxx_p5.html into its original form: index.php?option=viewCategory&category=catxxx&page=5 hence recovering all the parameter/s required for the script to work.

   - Your solution seems to use the post titles instead of post numbers, to link to the individual posts, right ?

   - I suggest to keep using post numbers to assure unique links, as you will probably need to limit titles in lenght, and also to add the html extension at the end (viewEntry/00011/postTitle.html)

   4. I'm using Pritlog v0.411. Any shortlist of the main features you plan to introduce in the next release ? Any date ?

   It would be great for anyone working with a modified version of your script, to get a "change history" on a per function basis to facilitate upgrades. Is this possible ?

   Nice work, thank you !

   Hi John,

   Thanks for posting the details about the preview function. This can be definitely used with a little tweaking. Also, we will need to use the same for RSS feeds also. Ken suggested that a long time ago.

   When you are ready with the upload function, we can use this for Pritlog.

   Your suggestion to use post number also in the url is a good idea. Without using this, we will need unique post titles. Let me give this a little more thought.

   I am just picking up any suggestions from the "changes for next release" thread.

   I have not documented the changes that I am making now as I am changing in several places. I started to document, but then it felt a little too much. I will see if I can document whatever I can.

   Prit,

   in regards to your post on my test site "I am not seeing the <p> tags in the posts created on my server. Does NicEdit create that automatically for you?"

   Yes, the HTML button of nicEdit confirms that every time you feed a new line (Enter) it wraps previous text between <P> </P> (capital P). This also happens every time you add an image. If you open the post files you will also see that the <P> tags are there.

   If you don't feed any line you won't have paragraphs at all, but this could be handled by a small change in my function (else {...). Another way might be to change the code to use preg_split to cut chunks of text at breaks <br />.

   For my needs, I'll just make sure that anyone collaborating as an author follows some basic formating rules.

   Hi John,

   Somehow, the <P> tag does not show up on my blog posts. I am not sure if there is a different option for NicEdit that needs to be used.

   Anyway, what do you think about the idea of adding a special text in the post where the author wants the post to break for preview? This way, the program does not have to guess or mess the posts. The author can decide where a particular post must break.

   Hi Prit,

   Strange that you don't get the tags. My nicEdit has no changes at all.
   How does your source code look after typing some text and pressing Enter to create a new line ?

   Due my marketing reasons I prefeer to show ALL posts with previews. Using a special text to break (preg_split ?) seems a good alternative to let authors decide what they want.

   PD: if you visit my test site, you will see that I added some javascript to limit the number of characters for titles and author name, as well as using the original post title for comment titles.
