Google Code offers us lassobloggers a new, handy environment for co-operation.

Those interested in participating can check out code from the new LassoBlogger homepage at Google Code, make their changes, and submit new code.

For code check-outs and check-ins, you need the Subversion version control program.

For end-users, LassoBlogger is still available at LassoForge.

(Modified May 7th 2009)

On admin pages (v. 0.9.0), after add or update action, the edited values appear on the search form, though they should not.

You can fix this yourself:

Open the file gen/adminpage_monster.inc

Find this line:

<form name="MyForm" action="[$formTargetpage]" method="POST">

After that line, add the following:

<input type="hidden" name="searchType" value="post">

Find another instance of a similar form, add a line again.

Save and close.

A new version (0.9.0) of the LassoBlogger blogware has today been released at
LassoForge.

http://www.lassoforge.com/projects.lasso?PR=64

The most notable new features are database sharing (facilitated by the new
table_prefix variable), blogging by email, and improved login facility. Not
to forget graphical smilies. And of course, there is a lot of small improvements, fixes and tweaks.

Go get it at LassoForge!

The smilies will finally work in the next LB release.

Here is a smilie.
Here is a laugh!
This is so sad!
There are many more emoticons available.

And other new features are also already coded - see the top of version history.

...thanks to Lieven Gekiere.

Now the languages are Finnish, Swedish and Dutch. More languages would be welcome. It's not hard to do a translation - that's what Lieven said.

A Swedish language file is now available. The file was created by a professional translator for a LassoBlogger-based architecture competition site of one of my webhotel clients. The client gave a permission to distribute the file as opensource.

Ask me for the file. Also it will of course be part of the next LB release.

Has anyone yet created a Swedish language file for LassoBlogger? I would need one for my client. Please let me know... My Swedish is too rusty for this.

I just coded a new feature: you can post to your blog by sending emails to a
specific email address (like myBlog@myDomain.com). LassoBlogger will act as
a POP client and transform the emails to blog posts. Read more at

This feature was requested by a LassoBlogger user (actually a group: a
Finnish ecopsychology network, in which I participate).

If you would like to help by beta-testing this feature, please contact me,
and I will send you the latest code.

Versions: all (up to and including 0.8.0).

The link to the registration page does not work, if a permalink page has been selected first. Here's the fix.

Open the file /cont/index.inc

Go to line that contains "use-register" (almost at bottom of file):

Change this:

    '<li><a href="use-register.lasso?emptyForm=yes">'; str:'Register';

to this:

    '<li><a href="';
    $basicOptions -> 'siteurl';
    'use-register.lasso?emptyForm=yes">'; str:'Register';

Save & close.
