After a long time, snowflake updated yesterday the Typo3 t3blog extension. The version number jumped from 0.6.2 to 0.8.0 and immediately after to 0.8.1.

What a step!

Maybe the security vulnerabilities found in t3blog were the reason for submitting the fixed and updated version. 

New is a view for the most read posts. Nice feature, but there seems to be missing some parts. E.g. in the widget selector the title is missing and it only works as pi2-widget if you add the following line to your template:

plugin.tx_t3blog_pi2.views < plugin.tx_t3blog_pi1.views

The page browser changed completely and uses now the extension pagebrowse. Ok, I had to adjust the CSS settings, but now it's working again.

Also "my bug" has been fixed - almost. There remains a problem with the category-tags. I fixed it locally. Let's hope that snowflake keeps maintaining the extension.

In the updated documentation is also a reference to a blog near by me:

Update 2010-02-04:

I've added two bug reports to bugs.typo3.org:

• Bug 13425: this reports about the views-widget issues I wrote in this post. And of course I added a patch.
• Bug 13426: another problem with the widget usage. In this case the blogList-widget and only if you use the storagePid. A patch fixes this problem (at least for me).

Update 2010-02-10:

My two patches are accepted by snowflake and will be included in next release: Bug 13425, Bug 1342. Thank you Dominic!
