Avencius Developer's log: updated to Drupal 4.7
The website has been updated to the latest Drupal 4.7. This release comes with big changes, and hopefully improvements, both for administrating this website as well as for the users in commenting etc. The upgdate required some modifications to the theme, as well as to the database. So please give any feedback if you see something, small or big, that looks like a flaw.
Please note that during the bumpy update, the website lost some database information, my apologies for the inconveniences this may have caust. Also, the website now uses AJAX technologies more heavily, which pushes the required minimum browser. But any Firefox, Opera or Internet Explorer user should not see any difference. Lastly, more than a week ago I disabled the anonymous comments again, although the spam filter took most of them out, it was really annoying to see my logs filled with denied access, spam posts etc.
Anyway, let's keep up the Opera blogging, and with Opera 9's expected release in June I hope to write some stories on the new features.
Update: Following the road Opera 9 is going; Avencius been slightly improved in the areas of clean design (less blocks, minor improvements to theme) and a simple layout (advanced settings available through AJAX components).
Update 2: First bugs have been fixed; the search option that pointed to a 404 not found page; uneven widths for left/right sidebars, which are also now better suited for 1024 resolutions; and updated php for valid XHTML 1.0 Strict code according to W3C's validator.
Your RSS feed now also works in IE7 :o) Hurray!
Kind Regards
Jonty
Good to know that the RSS feed now works in IE7, as I have not tested RSS in Beta 2 yet. I do test rendering occasionally, being happy that finally PNG alpha transparency is supported, though it still has some quircks compared with the other browsers.
Still not completely switched to either Firefox or rather Opera yet? ;)
