Comments on New interface ideas

  1. No Subject

    Hello, Peter

    Each blog has setting 'Additional blog writers'. When I log in as such user, the Administration toolbar doesn't contain any so to say 'startbuttons' for adding a new post, article, for making an upload. Additional blog writer can only edit his information and log off.

    Is this situation only temporary and this functionality will be added in the future?

    The other thing is, how global administrator is supposed to remove users and blogs? I mean, sure one can manually edit userdata/passwd.php and rm -rf <respective blog dir hierarchy>, but...

    What about _optional_ e-mail comments notification? As for me, I find it very handy.

    I can't duplicate the additional writers problem here. When I log in as an "additional writer", I get the correct set of links - new entry, new article, edit user, and logout. Right now, the configuration for that setting is extremely primitive, i.e. just a text box with no real validation, so it might be set incorrectly. The format is "user1,user2,user3" with no extra spaces allowed. If you are using non-ASCII characters in usernames, you might check to make sure the encoding is consistent. (Encoding will be auto-detected and over-ridable in the next release.)

    I agree, an interface to remove users and blogs would definitely be good. Especially users. I will add those to the to-do list, but they are not a high priority right now, because both are (hopefully) uncommon operations and there is a lot of missing functionality that needs to be done first.

    As of version 0.4.0, e-mail notification *is* optional. There is not yet an interface to disable it, but because it is now done in a plugin, the user can simply move or delete the plugin file to disable it. I hope to have an interface for managing plugins some time before the 0.5.0 release.
