Minor Commentable Updates, Blog

Sep 20, 2006 by Sean Cribbs

I wanted to apprise you of a few updates to the Comments behaviors.

Revision 15:
- Turned all create! calls into create, so posting a comment should fail more quietly.
- Added a modifier to r:comments:count that requires comments to be published to be included in the count
Revision 16:
- Removed CGI.escape_html in favor of global string substitutions that convert angle-brackets to their corresponding character entities.

There’s been some big discussion about creating a plugin system. Be aware that these behaviors will change drastically in this new plugin system, perhaps even disappear as we know them. I’ll do my best to make the transition as easy for you as possible. Please keep me updated on how you’re using Commentable and what changes it might need.

John Long, the creator of Radiant, recently invited me to post on the RadiantCMS blog since I have been helpful to people on the mailing list. Officially I write the “How To” column, but I have no intention of losing (or gaining) a guy in 10 days. Just in case you were wondering.
