New Features
Configurable Editor: mee.nu supports a variety of optional fields on posts, in addition to the standard text and more. If you want to add notes, tags, keywords, extracts, blurbs and other information to your posts, you now can select exactly which fields you want to appear on your edit page
Enhanced Edit Screen: Now you can view comments within the post edit screen, adjust the posting date and path of your posts, and as access new features like pages and sticky posts. Click on the Options link on the edit screen to access these new features.
Pages: Pages are similar to posts, except that they don't appear in the main flow of your blog. Ideal for one-off items like an "about" page.
Stickies: Posts can be flagged as announcements or sticky, which makes them appear at the top of your blog. You can also mark posts as unsticky, which makes them appear at the very end of your blog. You can manage how this is handled using the sticky, unsticky, nosticky and stickyonly options on the [posts] tag.
Prev/Next: The [post:prev] and [post:next] tags can be used in your individual entry pages to access data from the previous and next items (within the current folder, and ordered by posting date). The [post:first] and [post:last] tags similarly provide access to the first and last posts. By adding the mode=category option, you can restrict the selection to the present post's category.
Cache Control: In some cases, you may not want a page to be cached, for example, when you are working with dynamic CSS that is customised for the user's browser. You can now select whether pages are cached on a per-folder basis.
Enhanced Performance: Pages are now generated up to 40% faster, with the greatest gains on pages with lots of comments.
Video: New BBCode tags for Eyespot, iFilm, Guba and Veoh.
BBCode: New image tag [img]...[/img] is compatible with many web forums, and with (for example) Photobucket.
Enhanced Include: When including a sub-template, you can now specify any number of parameters. These are substituted into the new template as specified by place-markers of the form {1}, {2}, {3}...
Variables As Parameters: You can now use template variables as parameters to template tags. To indicate that a parameter should be read from a variable, prefix the variable name with $. (Note that you can't do this for parameter values, yet; the variable must contain the entire parameter.)
mee.fm: mee.fm is our forthcoming podcasting and internet raido sister-site. Every mee.nu blog comes with a free companion mee.fm site. Your mee.fm site currently resolves to your existing mee.nu blog; in the future you will have the ability to create it as a separate site. Right now, you can see which site a user is accessing via the [page.domain] tag, which will return either mee.nu or mee.fm.

Some (most) of that is over my head but I'll give the Options for post date a test tonight. What is the format for Post date? mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss?
And what is the Path there for?
Posted by: abwtf at April 25, 2007 09:55 PM (FJ/ua)
The path is where the entry shows up; it's based on the title of the post. If you entry is called, say, "Test Post", the path would be "test_post" by default, and it would show up at http://mysite.mee.nu/test_post. You can edit the path to change that.

I take it the Post Date and Start/End Dates don't have anything to do with delayed posting? That is, I made a post with tomorrow's date but it shows up right away thinking it is from the future.

Sorry, I meant to mention that.

How exactly do we configure our highly configurable editor?
you now can select exactly which fields you want to appear on your edit page
I don't see anything like this. Pointers/screenshots pls.

One way to fix this is to go into the Settings/Editor screen, and un-check Hide Unused Editors.
McGurk, that's the screen you want. If you don't have that option, let me know.

I drafted a post yesterday and held it, when I published it today it posted with the draft date/time. That put it behind another post that I'd published previously. When I went back to change the date/time of the new post to when I'd actually published it, the changes didn't take.
Posted by: Old Grouch at April 29, 2007 09:58 PM (oHrKR)
Probably working as designed, but it appears that you can't change a post date once you've published it.Could you try that again? I used that feature last night and it worked fine. You have to get the date in the right format, though, or it will be silently ignored.

Hey, pullquotes seem to go boom. I added a pullquote to a post and got the following error:

I'm guessing that my pullquote may have been too long; if you go to this post: http://youredoingitwrong.mee.nu/hit_rosie_on_the_speed_dial and add a pullquote for the following line:
Bizarre forms of radiation, atoms and quarks previously unseen in our reality. Maybe even wizards riding dinosaurs and crazy shit like that.the error pops up.

Could you try that again? I used that feature last night and it worked fine. You have to get the date in the right format, though, or it will be silently ignored.Still can't make it work. Date as it appears is:
2007-04-28 22:00:21 GMTand I'm editing the existing entry, rather than replacing it. Trying to change to:
2007-04-29 01:00:21 GMTHave tried: Editing just the creation date, editing all three dates, closing the options before the save, leaving the options open and saving. Also tried it this way:
2007-04-29 1:00:21 GMT. Any ideas? Posted by: Old Grouch at May 03, 2007 11:44 PM (KIX2L)

Hey, pullquotes seem to go boom. I added a pullquote to a post and got the following error
Sorry, I didn't log this bug in my tracking list so it never got fixed.
I found it just now when I was testing comment preview. It happens if you use the pullquote tag without any options. I've fixed it and will include it in the next update.
