frontend with error after installation

Hi,

After installing latest version 1.0.1 on TYPO3 6.2, I get the following error in the frontend:

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: .
Location: http://www.domain.ch/
Line Number 6, Column 271:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

Database was compared and updated, cache clered - perhaps a bug?
Best regards, Stefan

Add isOld checkbox to post for disabling comments

Add "this is an old post" functionality. Figure out how to deal with current TS implementation.

Categories

When clicking on a category, the current page is openend. When using the "blog system", all articles are listed, independent of of the categorie(s) of the blogposts.

Should be: when clicking on a categorie, a list of all blogposts of that categorie should be shown.

(TYPO3 6.2)

Detailview: prev/next

In the detailview links to the previous / next article would be nice.

Category-Plugin: count number of articles

It would be nice to have an counter for articles per category in the category-module, something like this could be the output:

category A (10)
category B (24)
Category C (19)
...

Improve realUrl auto configuration support

The current realUrl auto configuration is quite hacky and should be reworked now that support for TYPO3 4.x has been dropped.

Main goal would be to get rid of the additional TS config and its conditions.

Involved files:

• Configuration/TypoScript/RealUrl/setup.txt
• Classes/Hooks/RealUrl.php
• ext_localconf.php

Be sure to check BE link generation.

Add a "remove filter" button/link for the tag-filter

When filtering by tags, right after the text "Filtered by tag mytag", there should be a link to remove the filter (could be a simple link to the current page?)

Archive

Links in the archive-module don´t link to the blogpost, but to the current page.

(TYPO3 6.2)

Calendar

Add an calendar, every post is marked in this calendar.

Create partial for flashMessage VH to be more flexible

Blog post icons missing in BE list module

Document EM update script

Needed when used for existing t3blog installations.

RealURL / RSS-Feed

When activating RealURL for the rss-feed (uncomment the typeNum line in the rss configuration), an error occurred:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'TYPO3\CMS\Core\Error\Http\ServiceUnavailableException' with message 'The page is not configured! 
[type=0][]. This means that there is no TypoScript object of type PAGE with typeNum=0 configured.' in typo3_src-6.2.2/typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/Controller/TypoScriptFrontendController.php:2574 
Stack trace: #0 typo3_src-6.2.2/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/index_ts.php(173):

Maybe some more configuration is neccessary?

Add twitter card tags

It would be a very nice feature, to add the twitter card tags (summary) to the singleview of the blogposts.

What are twitter cards? Some kind of metatags (similar to open graph tags), filled with informations for a tweet (https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types/summary)

The following tags would be needed:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="{twittername - should be set via TS}" /> 
<meta name="twitter:title" content="{page title, max 70 characters}" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="{description, could be the same a the metadescription (isnt implemented yet), max. 200 characters" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{optional: path to a pic, maybe first pic of the blogcontent. If no pic used, take a default pic. Min. Size: 120*120px }"
/> 
<meta name="twitter:url" content="{URL of the singleview of the post}" />

Add fluid xml namespace

Something like:

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"
     xmlns:flux="http://typo3.org/ns/FluidTYPO3/Flux/ViewHelpers"
     xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/fluid/ViewHelpers">

<f:layout name="Content" />

</div>

Improve post preview

Wishlist:

• Add previewText RTE field
• Add previewImage FAL field
• Create backfall for old ###MORE### marker posts

Anything else?

Use EXT:vidi for BE modules

Extension needs TYPO3 6.1 minimum. Not 7.x ready yet.

Extension needs at least 7.x, so possible for 3.0.0 only.

Rss feed links

Links in the rss-feed are linked to the page with the rss-module.
Should be linked to the correspondent blogposts.

TYPO3 6.2

Add ###MORE### marker to documentation

list view shows full length of blog post

Hi,
List and detail view works on my installation but I am unable to shorten the blog post on the list view.
The full post is shown. It looks like this cannot be set?

Current TS settings
...
blogsystem {
pid = 131

  posts {
    viewCount {
      # NOT IMPLENTED YET
      # views: Amount of seconds which have to pass by until an returning visitor is recounted.
      # if you want to have counted each view just put a negative number.
      # timePeriod = 10000
      # countBackendUsers = 1
    }

    paginate {
      itemsPerPage = 10
      insertAbove = 0
      insertBelow = 1
      maximumNumberOfLinks = 100
    }
  }

Tag filter doesn´t work when using short tags

Wenn using short tags ( 2 or less letters) nothing is filtered when clicking on these tags. After clicking, the starting page shows up, but using something like this as URL: domain.tld/tags/xy.html
With 3 or more letters, it works fine.

Add blogroll

Under consideration.

Links in subscription emails doesn´t show up?

When commenting a post, theres an option to be notified when new comments are written. Before that process starts, the person has to confirm the subscription.

The generated confirmation mail has two issues (maybe I configured something wrong..):

• blogName is taken from the standard setup, my ownTS-override doesnt work
• theres no comfirmation link

What if´ve done:

• created a page, insert the plugin (subscpription manager)
• set pid via TS

Best Regards
Christoph

Remove EXT:sfpantispam support

Extension is no longer supported and not available in TYPO3 6.2.

Switch to namespaced core function calls

Remove all deprecated method calls. Incompatible with TYPO3 4.x

More unit tests and functional tests

layout and template override

Hi, thanks for the great plugin!
I’m fairly new to this, so maybe this is a simple mistake, but if I add it to a subpage of my website, it overrides or replaces the entire website layout and my bootstrap integration, as well as my content template. Is there any easy way to leave the site layout and settings intact and and use the website layout and templates, as well as the bootstrap css for the plugin?

Make use of PHP namespaces

As we dropped 4.x support in master we should make use of PHP namespaces.

Blog administration - Comments: option to show approved comments

In the BE-blog-administration, only non approved comments are shows. It would be nice to have an option to see approved comments too.

Update default HTML layout to match Twitter Bootstrap 3.x

Update templates and partials to match Twitter Bootstrap 3.x instead of 2.3.x

Extended CObjectViewHelper causes wrong realurl URLs

When using <t3b:frontend.renderContent contentElements="{post.content}" /> VH all links to a post after that are rendered with an appended "comment/post" segment. URLs look good without EXT:realurl. Seems this is an issue of the CObjectViewHelper our VH is based upon.

Trackback & Pingback support

Receiving from and sending a notice to another blog.

• Analyze what the old implementation did (https://github.com/fnagel/t3blog)
• Implement Trackback support
• Implement Pingback support

Lastet posts: category selection doesnt work

plugin.tx_t3extblog {
settings {
latestPosts {
categoryUid = 1 # this setting doesnt work
}
}

Add EXT:dd_googlesitemap integration to documentation

Implement number of views for posts

Old EXT:t3blog functionality.

$post->riseNumberOfViews();

Minor translation issue: "new comment" in German

Instead of "Neues Kommentar", the German heading in the comment form should read "Neuer Kommentar"

subscpription manager / detailview blogpost

When the subscpription manager isn´t configured, headlines of the blogposts are linked to the current site instead of the detailed view

TYPO3 6.2

Latest Comments

When integrating the "Latest Comments"-module, an error message occurs:

Sorry, the requested view was not found. "The technical reason is: No template was found. View could not be resolved for action "latest" in class "Tx_T3extblog_Controller_CommentController"

(TYPO3 6.2)

Implement captcha support

Test and fix for TYPO3 CMS 7.x

https://github.com/fnagel/t3extblog/tree/typo3-7x

General

• Test in TYPO3 CMS 7.x
• Test in TYPO3 CMS 6.2
• Remove all deprecated core function: #19
• Use PHP namespaces #41
• Update dependency to 6.2-7.x, remove legacy code

TYPO3 CMS 7.x ToDo

• General functionality
• Comments allowed VH (Caching issue)
• BE module functionality
• Testing: Comments
• Testing: Subscription
• BE module pager styling
• Check RealUrl support
• Nicer BE icon

Document subscription manager

Rework notifications to be based upon scheduler (cronjob)

Improve list view caching

When a comment is created we need to clear page cache (done via an extbase method). Add own caching system or split list and show action into different plugins to prevent blogsystem page from being generated all over again.

Sitemap

Implement an dynamic sitemap of all posts, maybe using dd_googlesitemap

Implement metadescription / -keywords

It should be possible to add metedescription and metakeyword to every single post.

ToDo:

• Add VH for modifying meta tags
• Add new fields meta_description and meta_keywords

Better configuration for plugins

Improve fields of the plugins.

• Remove storage fields
• Need to define which field for which plugin

latest comments are not linked with blog post

If the t3extblog plugin 'latest comment's' is added, the comments are shown correctly but do not contain a link to the related article.

TagCloud

Build a tagcloud out of all used tags. Maybe count the tags and add some styles, so the most used tags could be formated bigger.
