9 November 2005, 13:13 Upgraded to Textpattern 4.x!
I finally got around to upgrade my TXP-powered site to version 4.0.2. Let me tell you, Textpattern just keeps getting better and better.
It took some hours to upgrade, since I ran a pretty hacked version of TXP 1.0_RC1 (wow, that’s old).
For instance, I had to re-introduce to TXP my gravatar tag:
<txp:comment_gravatar />This is custom tag I hacked into the previous version in order to display the commenter’s gravatar next to his/her comment.
Fortunately, no changes were required in my TrackBack plugin. That reminds me: grab your copy of my Textpattern TrackBack Plugin (currently receives TrackBacks only).
So… What new features I like best?
- 404 Error pages! Version 4.0.2 added an error_default page template, allowing control over the 404 output.
- No more extension-less file in my root folder for each page. It is all done by index.php now. Actually, I had my own hacked-up version of this feature in my previous version of TXP.
- Nofollow on comment: adds an additional attribute to the links made in comments. It is intended to be a measure that takes away the incentive for comment-spammers and was initiated by a range of search engines and software-writers.
All in all – I am pleased with TXP 4.x!
How about you? Have you upgraded yet or thinking of upgrading? Let me know…
