vBlogetin DevelopmentSo far, the mod rewrite rules are working for the formats we promised, and vBlogetin can handle them fine (without passing the userid). The big task here is going to be updating all the links to use generated links based on your URL settings. We probably have about 10% of them done so far (the really obvious ones), and we're probably going to leave a few as-is and do a quick redirect upon arriving at an outdated URL. Actually editing the links will bypass the need for vbSEO, but we will use its functions when they are available. [...]

vBlogetin ReleasesWe're glad to announce that beta 2 has been released to the public. This release mainly includes new install, uninstall and upgrade scripts, as well as the lovely template editing front-end that will save lives. Another new feature is a WordPress importer built for us by rdm. There are at least 20-30 minor bug fixes since beta 1, so we strongly recommend that everyone upgrades ASAP. [...]

vBlogetin DevelopmentFirst off, beta 2 is pretty much done now. There are a few loose ends to tie up before we release it publicly, and it will be given to the beta testers tomorrow if all goes well. The install, upgrade and uninstall scripts are all working flawlessly so far. Even the newly built template editor is working great. [...]

vBlogetin DevelopmentThe shiny new install, upgrade and uninstall scripts for beta 2 have been completed now, though of course we will continue to test them rigorously. Everything has been broken into steps so you get a visual clue of what's happening (similar to standard vBulletin installs). Also, things like the template editor now prompt you so you can enter which styles you would like to edit. [...]

vBlogetin DevelopmentI spent some time today modifying the vbJournal importer to be more... solid. There is nothing wrong with the current one, but the new one will has some admin-interaction and has been broken into steps. It will also process X items at a time opposed to trying to do it all in one go. It's done now and seems to be working 100% (test database containing 8000 entries and over 30,000 comments). It takes a bit longer, but it should be much more stable, especially in regard to timing out. You guys may see it as soon as beta 1-2 which we will release pretty soon. [...]
