A Day with Roller
I put a whole sh*tload of hours into Roller today - around 14 to be precise! My main goals where to get password encryption enabled and Remember Me re-implemented as a more secure feature. I managed to accomplish both and did so much typing in the process that my fingers hurt.
Other things I managed to accomplish:
- Added ability to put a period (.) in a page name. Also modified BasePageServlet to set contentType appropriately for those "pages" ending in .xml, .js and .css. This should allow pages to be created for CSS and JavaScript, and then included in your pages with <link> and <script>.
- Moved Calendar in Weblog editor to top right (was at bottom left) - making it easier to view and navigate to different days.
- Fixed comments and spam stuff that Lance added.
- Fixed pop-up Calendar on Weblog Edit screen to be properly positioned in IE and Mozilla.
- Added up and down arrow buttons to allow expanding and contracting (taller and shorter) of weblog textarea. Persisted user's preference with a cookie.
- Various UI enhancements to make the Editor UI look good in both IE and Mozilla (on Windows XP).
Phew - I'm ready for a beer! You can checkout our demo instance if you'd like to try out the latest code.

Lance - I just tried creating a new user, and you're right - I was unable to login. I shut down the server, cleared the work and logs directory and started everything back up - and I was able to login. All database tables seem to have been correctly populated and I didn't have any issues with this yesterday. This leads me to believe it's just a "Raible's server setup" issue and nothing more (hopefully).

There are probably several places that would need changing as well for various other labels.

But the problem I face now is that when I click on each of the categories it goes to the page http://jroller.com/page/dyno?catname=>Someparameter>. Since I am using a different language, my url appears like this... http://jroller.com/page/dyno?catname=1%20???????
So no matter whichever category I click I get the contents that are to be displayed at http://jroller.com/page/dyno. So I think, we should be going against the category id rather than category name. What is the parameter name to specify category id?
TIA

And just checked Dave roller blog... he says that internationalization is supported in Roller 0.9.9 (http://www.rollerweblogger.org/page/roller/20040307#thanks_jaap). Which version is Jroller.com currently using?
TIA

But today' experience is bad... even the unicode Tamil text post which worked in the current release seems to be screwed in the demo. I hope jroller doesn't go into the new release without fixing this :( .
