I used the 3.0 JARs - they seem to work fine. Here's some issues I
encountered when upgrading from 2.3-incubating to 3.1-rc3:
1. #showCategoriesAsList('nil') is not resolved. This is a custom macro I
created. See resolution below.
2. #showCommentsCountAndLink - another custom macro. See resolution below.
3. Smileys don't work. Don't have a resolution, explanation below.
4. CSS on Comment form is messed up. See resolution below.
5. Search Again box is center-aligned. See resolution and minor bug below.
Most of these were caused by the fact that I'm using a custom theme I
created for 2.x.
I found workaround for these. First off, I replaced my _day.vm template with
the one from andreas08 in the java.net themes.
With 3.1, showCategoriesAsList can be replaced with
#showWeblogCategoryLinksList in weblog.vm. However, I made the following
change:
<li class="selected"><a href="$url.category($cat.path)">$cat.name</a></li>
Instead of:
<li class="selected">$cat.name</li>
Personally, I don't like it when there's a selected category that I can't
click on - or a link that turns into text in certain states. I think we
should make this change in Roller core. After making this change, my
selected category is highlighted in blue. Later I discovered I had to change
this in another place in this macro. From:
<li class="selected">$text.get("macro.weblog.allcategories")</li>
to:
<li class="selected"><a
href="$url.category($categoryObject.path)">$text.get("
macro.weblog.allcategories")</a></li>
For #2, replacing it with the following works:
#set($commentCount = $entry.commentCount)
#if($entry.commentsStillAllowed || $commentCount > 0)
<a href="$url.comments($entry.anchor)"
class="commentsLink">$text.get("macro.weblog.comments")[$commentCount]</a>
#end
However, I don't like seeing "Comments[0]" so I changed it to display "Add a
Comment" when there are none. So I changed it to:
#set($commentCount = $entry.commentCount)
#if($entry.commentsStillAllowed || $commentCount > 0)
<a href="$url.comments($entry.anchor)" class="commentsLink">
#if($commentCount == 0)
$text.get( "macro.weblog.addcomment" )
#elseif($commentCount == 1)
$commentCount $text.get( "macro.weblog.comment" )
#else
$commentCount $text.get( "macro.weblog.comments" )
#end
</a>
#end
I think we should make this change in all templates - it's in the "day.vm"
page of andreas08.
As far as the Smiley plugin, it looks like my class names are wrong. The
"enabled plugins" section seems to be missing from the settings page. I have
org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.smileys.SmileysPlugin in my
roller-custom.properties.
Looking in the log files, it appears that the class names are wrong for my
plugins. However, these are the names the following page recommends:

I though I could fix the comment form CSS by copying the contents of
css.vminto my
themes.css file. My css.vm didn't contain a bunch of CSS like the andreas08
theme does. Mine has:
#set($theme = "andreas08" )
#parse("/WEB-INF/classes/themes/css.vm")
Doing this didn't fix the problem - it just made my theme look like Dave's.
I then realized I should probably my Weblog.vm to have:
<div class="entries">
#set($pager = $model.getWeblogEntriesPager())
<div class="next-previous">
#if ($model.results)
#showWeblogSearchAgainForm($model.weblog)
#showNextPrevSearchControl($pager)
#else
#showNextPrevEntriesControl($pager)
#end
</div>
#showWeblogEntriesPager($pager)
</div>
#if ($model.permalink)
#showWeblogEntryComments($entry)
#showWeblogEntryCommentForm($entry)
#end
instead of:
#displayWeblogEntries()
That fixed the problem, but my current site stretches the comment form so
it's full width. I changed my forms.css (seems to be in css.vm in Roller's
andreas08) to have:
form textarea.large, form textarea.textarea{
width: 100%;
}
Instead of:
form .large, form textarea.textarea{
width: 340px;
}
I fixed the searchBox issue by adding text-align: left to #searchAgain in
andreas08.css. I did discover a bug - the title of the link on the search
term has:
title="Define {1} on Dictionary.com"
That's it! I'm ready to upgrade if I can get the plugins problem fixed.
It only took me 3 hours to write this e-mail. :-/
