Yes, I Know What It Looks Like

What can I say? I like that design.

2 Smilie test two

3 No smilies?

4 Ah, the HTML sanitiser was eating them. Solution: Process smilies after sanitising HTML.

5 Is MuNu Minx the same as your employer's Minx? That is, will the "real" Minx also work with MT tables?

Posted by: David Boxenhorn @ at June 13, 2006 01:33 PM

6 No, the real version uses its own database. I'm testing ideas and code at munu, but have to change it for the real system. (Actually, I've made a number of changes to the MT database to make Minx work, but in such a way that MT either ignores them or benefits from them itself.)

What I'm installing at munu right now is what I call Minx/MT. Minx proper will follow in a couple of months, but that will require you to migrate your blog and stop using MT.

I'm trying to do two things here: Get us off MT as fast as possible before it kills us, and develop a complete next-generation blogging (and lots more besides) system. Minx/MT allows me to quickly try out code on an existing database and userbase before committing it to the new system, and gives us the goodies a lot sooner than if I wrote the whole thing from scratch.

The new database design makes Minx a lost faster and more flexible than Minx/MT, but we probably won't see any of that until late July or August.

7 Cool. Will there be an automatic port from MT to Minx? (Both posts and templates?)

Hey, how about a spell check in the comment box? I think you can get free spell check source code on line...

8 There will be an automatic port - that's the first thing I wrote.

Templates will have to be tweaked manually, but the templates for Minx/MT will work fine with real Minx. I might be able to do an automatic template converter once real Minx comes along, but there are a lot of differences to cope with.

I'll definitely look into a spel-cheker.

9 So far, so way cool Pixy! I am just astounded at the progress you're making on Minx. Can't wait to try it out.

10 Sounds great. The MT port would probably be important for anyone, not just us. So your employer (are you at liberty so say who it is?) would probably like that.

While I'm kibbitzing, how about a blockquote button on the toolbar?

Posted by: David Boxenhorn @ at June 13, 2006 03:23 PM

11 The editor doesn't have a blockquote function.

It does have have an indent function, but no blockquote.

It also allows me to set up custom buttons, which is what I might need to do.

It has a lot, a lot more features than I'm using now, and you'll see them once I get a the post entry form up, but it doesn't have blockquote.

12 Cool. Indent is fine with me.
