I used the 3.0 JARs - they seem to work fine. Here's some issues I
encountered when upgrading from 2.3-incubating to 3.1-rc3:


1. #showCategoriesAsList('nil') is not resolved.  This is a custom 
macro I

created. See resolution below.


2. #showCommentsCountAndLink - another custom macro. See resolution 
below.


3. Smileys don't work. Don't have a resolution, explanation below.

4. CSS on Comment form is messed up. See resolution below.


5. Search Again box is center-aligned. See resolution and minor bug 
below.


Most of these were caused by the fact that I'm using a custom theme I
created for 2.x.

I found workaround for these. First off, I replaced my _day.vm template
with the one from andreas08 in the java.net themes.

With 3.1, showCategoriesAsList can be replaced with
#showWeblogCategoryLinksList in weblog.vm.  However, I made the following
change:


<li class="selected"><a 
href="$url.category($cat.path)">$cat.name</a></li>



Instead of:

<li class="selected">$cat.name</li>

Personally, I don't like it when there's a selected category that I can't
click on - or a link that turns into text in certain states. I think we
should make this change in Roller core. After making this change, my

selected category is highlighted in blue. Later I discovered I had to 
change

this in another place in this macro. From:

<li class="selected">$text.get("macro.weblog.allcategories")</li>

to:

<li class="selected"><a
href="$url.category($categoryObject.path)">$text.get("
macro.weblog.allcategories")</a></li>

For #2, replacing it with the following works:

        #set($commentCount = $entry.commentCount)
        #if($entry.commentsStillAllowed || $commentCount > 0)
            <a href="$url.comments($entry.anchor)"

class="commentsLink">$text.get("macro.weblog.comments")[$commentCount]</a> 


        #end


However, I don't like seeing "Comments[0]" so I changed it to display 
"Add

a Comment" when there are none. So I changed it to:

        #set($commentCount = $entry.commentCount)
        #if($entry.commentsStillAllowed || $commentCount > 0)
            <a href="$url.comments($entry.anchor)" class="commentsLink">
            #if($commentCount == 0)
                $text.get( "macro.weblog.addcomment" )
            #elseif($commentCount == 1)
                $commentCount $text.get( "macro.weblog.comment " )
            #else
                $commentCount $text.get( "macro.weblog.comments" )
            #end
            </a>
        #end


I think we should make this change in all templates - it's in the " 
day.vm"

page of andreas08.

As far as the Smiley plugin, it looks like my class names are wrong. The

"enabled plugins" section seems to be missing from the settings page. 
I have

org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.smileys.SmileysPlugin in my
roller-custom.properties.


Looking in the log files, it appears that the class names are wrong 
for my

plugins. However, these are the names the following page recommends:

I fixed this by changing my roller-custom.properties to have:

plugins.page=\
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.ConvertLineBreaksPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.TopicTagPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.WikipediaLinkPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.GoogleLinkPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.TextilePlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.AcronymsPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.BookmarkPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.ObfuscateEmailPlugin \
,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.SmileysPlugin \
,net.java.roller.plugins.weblogentry.jspwiki.WikiPlugin

One other issue I encountered, my entries' posted time is listed as:

Posted in Java at 20070205

When I'm used to:

Posted in Java at Feb 09 2007, 08:02:54 AM MST

Changing my _day.vm to have:

$utils.formatDate($entry.pubTime, $text.get("
macro.weblog.date.timestampFormat") )

Instead of:

$utils.formatDate($entry.pubTime, "yyyyMMdd")

Fixed the problem. This seems like a friendlier default to me.

I also discovered a couple more issues:

1. My custom "render the entry's title when viewing a single post" is no
longer working.  Here's my logic:

#set( $xmap = $pageModel.getRecentWeblogEntries(1,'nil') )
#foreach( $day in $xmap.keySet() )
  #set( $recentEntries = $xmap.get($day) )
  #foreach ($var in $recentEntries)
      #set ($title = $var.title)
  #end
#end
   <title>#showWebsiteTitle() | #if ($requestParameters.isEmpty() &&
$page.Name == "Weblog") Matt Raible's discussions on Java and Web
Development #elseif ($req.getParameter($WEBLOGCATEGORYNAME_KEY) &&
$page.Name == "Weblog")
$req.getParameter($WEBLOGCATEGORYNAME_KEY).substring(1) Category #elseif
($page.Name == "Weblog") $title #else $page.Name #end</title>


I don't know why you are doing all of that, how aobu this ...

#if ($model.permalink)
        <title>$model.weblog.name: $model.weblogEntry.title</title>
    #else
        <title>$model.weblog.name</title>
    #end




2. My "switch the body class based on chosen category" logic is no longer
working:

#if( $req.getParameter( $WEBLOGCATEGORYNAME_KEY ) )
   #set( $chosenCat = $req.getParameter( $WEBLOGCATEGORYNAME_KEY ) )
   #set( $chosenCat = $stringUtils.replace($chosenCat, " ",
"").toLowerCase() )
   #set( $chosenCat = $stringUtils.replace($chosenCat, "/", "") )
#end

<body id="page-#showPageName()"#if($chosenCat) class="$chosenCat"#end>


you don't need that request parameter mumbo jumbo, try this ...

#if ($model.weblogCategory)
  #set( $chosenCat = $model.weblogcategory.name )
  ## and any cleanup you want to do on the name
#end

If I can fix these two issues, I think I'm good to upgrade.

Thanks,

Matt

I though I could fix the  comment form CSS by copying the contents of
css.vminto my

themes.css file.  My css.vm didn't contain a bunch of CSS like the
andreas08 theme does. Mine has:

#set($theme = "andreas08" )
#parse("/WEB-INF/classes/themes/css.vm")

Doing this didn't fix the problem - it just made my theme look like
Dave's. I then realized I should probably my Weblog.vm to have:

<div class="entries">
    #set($pager = $model.getWeblogEntriesPager())
    <div class="next-previous">
        #if ($model.results)
            #showWeblogSearchAgainForm($model.weblog)
            #showNextPrevSearchControl($pager)
        #else
            #showNextPrevEntriesControl($pager)
        #end
    </div>

    #showWeblogEntriesPager($pager)
</div>

 #if ($model.permalink)
   #showWeblogEntryComments($entry)
   #showWeblogEntryCommentForm($entry)
#end

instead of:

#displayWeblogEntries()

That fixed the problem, but my current site stretches the comment form so

it's full width. I changed my forms.css (seems to be in css.vm in 
Roller's

andreas08) to have:

form textarea.large, form textarea.textarea{
    width: 100%;
}

Instead of:

form .large, form textarea.textarea{
    width: 340px;
}

I fixed the searchBox issue by adding text-align: left to #searchAgain in
andreas08.css. I did discover a bug - the title of the link on the search
term has:

title="Define {1} on Dictionary.com"

That's it!  I'm ready to upgrade if I can get the plugins problem fixed.

It only took me 3 hours to write this e-mail. :-/
