Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released
Say, I’m stoked about the update. However, I am wondering why the change to the title. Before the update I could use elements in my title (when creating a article) now the title is not parsing my html elements that I have added.
I’m guessing I’m going to have to figure somthing else out? And change all my articles?

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released
Actually, they don’t. The way I’ve done my CSS, paragraphs have side margins, rather than padding to the containing DIV, to avoid using the box-model hack. I guess I’ll just write some CSS in to handle P’s nested in LI’s and call it a day, since it doesn’t seem like anything will be done about this. ;)
I also find it incredibly odd that people can insert H1, H2, etc. in the comments. I really wish comments were handled the old way. I don’t want people sticking in what looks like a page header in my comments. Sure, it probably won’t happen, but it seems like the wrong way to go about handling Textile, in my opinion.

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released
I’m saw this in diagnostics:
18 Tables: textpattern: 2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly, txp_css: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the table properly, txp_page: 2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly, txp_prefs: 2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
And the Comments link doesn’t show for articles now.
I logged out and back in, and the MySQL table errors above are gone, but comments still don’t show. If I click on an article, the comment form is there, it’s just that there’s no Comment link in the default view.

Go into your article form and remove <txp:if_comments> around the invite. Replace it with <txp:if_comments_allowed> for example.

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released
Thanks for the new release.
On the subject of wrapping comments around paragraph tags, I think I prefer the old method (without paragraphs). The new method just seems to add extra mark-up within the Comments li tag – and it means an additional style rule to remove certain paragraph styles that I have. Just my 2 cents…

@codylindey – the issue you’re experiencing was discussed here. Looks as though the decision was made to ensure valid markup over stylistic concerns (which I can understand).

I have suggested a tip for avoiding invalid mark-up (in <code><title></code>) when using HTML elements in article titles .
But the changes in 4.0.2 are a step backward in the flexibility of TXP.
Now, it seems you cant use HTML in article titles, when before it was possible and didnt generate invalid markup (if you follow the tip).

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released
@maniqui – I saw your suggestions, and thought they were damn clever. However, it was dependent on plugins, and the idea is that TXP should produce valid markup out of the box, so I understand the reason for the changes.
As time allows I’ll be working on a patch to re-enable HTML in article titles…unless someone beats me to it (he said hopefully).

Yes, but now, we have more limitations than before.
Before:
TXP users can use HTML in article titles and:
- strip it out by using a plug-in.
- dont include article title in <code><title></code>, if they dont want to use the plug-in and also dont want invalid mark-up.
And those options (to use HTML in articles titles, to use a plug-in, to remove article title from title tag) are in the user-side.
Now:
TXP users dont have the option to use HTML elements in article titles.
I’m not a programmer, but i ask:
is it very hard to include the functionality of sab_striphtml only applied to “<code><txp:page_title /></code>”?
So, TXP “out-of-the-box” will strip-out html from article titles when showed in <code><title></code> rather than limiting the use of HTML elements in article titles.
