If you provide the patches, I'll be more than happy to include them ;-)

 I upgraded my 3.x version of Squishdot to 4.1  I followed all the instructions,
 but when I got to the part where you "push this button once" after the
 upgrade to 4, I got an error (so of cource I pushed it many times and now
 get the message that: Error Type: Index Exists Error Value: The
 index specified already exists).  I hate to say it but I did not right the
 original error down.  Maybe it was the same I was I get now...I don't know.

Seems to be working now, try to go to the 'Cataloged Objects' tab in
your Squishdot object. If all the postings it your site show up,
everything should be okay.

 Anyway, now I am having problems.  I have not had a single post to the
 page (it seems like since my upgrade...but cannot be sure).  I have added
 test articles with no problem but nothing new by others.

I just added a comment ;-)

 Here is a hard fact illustrating part of my current problem:  When I set the
 options to show 25 maximum posts on main page I get 8 displayed.
 When I set it to show 50, I get 16.  WHAT IS GOING ON?

The max posts thing is complex and convoluted (read, I didn't write it
;-)

AFAIK, item_list(used on the main page) returns the following:

 - all the articles (not only those from the current day), if 
   their number is less than a third of self.max_itemlist

 - A number of articles equal to a third of self.max_itemlist, even 
   if some came from yesterday

 - or, a list of articles from the specified date, limited to at 
   most self.max_itemlist articles.

Nice, huh?!

HTH,

Chris

It would be nice is that ratio is a property that can be set.
Also for an application that I am working on if all the attachments
for postings go to a central table that can be displayed.
