This application must run on a Domino 8.5.2 server with the extension library installed. All other dependencies are included in the NSF. You can find a Documentation Wiki on BleedYellow.com

 

Currently this project is in the testing phase, there are a few known issues that need to be corrected before this moves from Alpha level to Beta Level. The known issues are (issues with a * next to them are preventing upgrade from Alpha to Beta):

  • Adding a script block in the Rich Text editor works, however the script block is not available in the editor upon the next edit.
  • RSS Import - In blogsphere you must fix a couple of bugs before you can import from a blogsphere template
  • RSS Import - The email address of a commentor is not included and thus not imported
  • IE 7 and IE 9 rendering is broken. Works fine in IE 8 - Fixed if using the Dojo Layout
  • * RSS Import - Importing images is not currently supported, however the infrastructure is there, just need help importing gathered images via DXL or some other means
  • * The viewScope bean is expiring after about 30 minutes, at which point you loose anything you haven't saved
  • Does not function under Dojo 1.6  on an 8.5.2 server due to an incompatibility with the rich text editor, which is  corrected with Domino 8.5.3
  • Image upload in rich text editor broken

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
