Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

@clivewalker – I agree with you on this point. A lot of headaches, especially considering commenters can also make use of any headers they want, and pretty much anything that Textile handles in a normal article. Example here…

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

maniqui - I think the issue on the development front was not so much the stripping of the HTML in the page title, but the encoding of entities in the article title. It's fairly easy to simply replace the entities, not so simple (in the case of <@ and >) to determine whether the entity is being used in the context of a valid HTML tag, and replace only those instances where it’s NOT.

So the issue is more complex than it might otherwise have seemed. And the dev team had a decision to make for this release – disallow HTML in article titles (by encoding all entities), or continue to allow TXP to output invalid code. I get the impression from the previous discussion that this is by no means a done deal.

@codylindley – adapt, or set your work for Uncle Joe aside, and jump back into the TXP code a bit :)

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

Well, if you have strong opinions on changes, it’s best to get involved in discussions earlier, not after the release is made. Many people repeatedly voiced their opinion that they want their comments to use (more) block elements. Ideally opposing voices would have been voiced then, not now. I think it’s generally a good suggestion to stick around the community more and get engaged if you want to be more involved and less surprised for releases.

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

Sencer: You’re probably right. I should keep an ear to the ground more about such changes. I just didn’t see the comments as an issue, so didn’t realize that others did. My mistake. Be that as it may, is there any work-around or file to hack that will change comment behavior to how it was before?

In other words, I understand the decision had to be made, and I agree – for the most part, allowing P, Blockquote, etc. is a good thing. I’m just asking for a little bit of help in restoring some measure of control over comments, or perhaps turning off Textile in comments altogether.

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

@sencer – excellent point! I hear you loud and clear. although I don’t remember having a strong opinion about anything. In fact I really haven’t voiced any opinions. I was just simply trying to understand. You could say I was hanging around the community trying to get a handle on what was going on with the titles.

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

Yeah, that’s what we’re doing now, hanging around the community. Someone pass me the hot chocolate while we get these new Textile bugs squashed.

On second thought, maybe we should just have a contest to see who can design the most clever table-based layout within a Textpattern comment, because after all, that’s the kind of control we’re giving commenters, right? :)

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

Ok, I see we are not far apart on these opinions. :)

Nathan, I’ve answered in the other thread you opened on textile+comments.

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.</em>

Likewise. And holy crap it’s a pain to go back through all couple hundred and manually add markup (although I am among those who actually would prefer having the markup, since I’ve seen a few other incarnations of txp’s comment parsing and think it works much better this way). Either way, editing comments is horribly tedious and I vote for putting a moratorium on future comment markup changes.

If anyone comes up with a clever solution for bulk-editing a range of past comments, please chime in!

Re: Textpattern 4.0.2 Released

On a sidenote, it seems that when you save an edited comment it doesn’t return you to the previously viewed ‘list comments’ page, but throws you to the top-level list page. It should probably be patched to remember what page number you were previously viewing.
