I was just wondering if categories in Cafelog are case-sensitive. They should not. My opinion is that it would be far easier to make XML-RPC references by name rather than ID. For instance, as in AppleScript, the default blog (or labelled 1 like this blog) can be referred to as 'default'.

That has some advantages and some drawbacks, but the main issue is character support. And another thing, won't that "colide" with Blogger API or Blog apps that use it?

Categories are not case-sensitive, since they're not refered by their names. Referencing data by a variable aspect of that data is asking for errors once the aspect has changed. An ID doesn't change, which is why it's more convenient to use ID. As far as UI goes, it should query the server for the name of the categories if you want to refer to them by their name, but all exchanges with the server must reference an ID. (This is why I've made a method b2.getCategories, should a client want to use that)

oh, Ian, you mean you have a piece of AppleScript that works with the Blogger API ? I'd be happy to see it, as every bit of applescript that me and Ricardo tested turned up not working : (

well, it wouldn't hurt if there was less dependency on id tags (ie, not to use id tags more than once, meaning that if i remove id tag 12 i'll never use it again).

i do have an applescript that worked. "ed" because i just started on an ASS project and after that it doesn't seem to work anymore. maybe it's related with the latest problems on cafelog.

about the part whether it would collide with the blogger api, the short answer is no.

after all, the category tags go within the content tags i believe, so there shouldn't be any problems, actually. and because if a fully functional app grabs a certain person's blogs/category by its id it can most certainly get the corresponding name.

Dear Miss Manners:
My home economics teacher says that one must never place one's
elbows on the table. However, I have read that one elbow, in between
courses, is all right. Which is correct?

Gentle Reader:
For the purpose of answering examinations in your home
economics class, your teacher is correct. Catching on to this
principle of education may be of even greater importance to you now
than learning correct current table manners, vital as Miss Manners
believes that is.

What is b2 ?
A classy news/weblog tool (aka logware).

How does it work ?
You type something and hit "blog this" and in the next second it's on your page(s). You can write extended entries, or even entries that span multiple pages. You can also use BloggerAPI clients to post to your b2 weblog.
What's original in b2 ? Pages are generated dynamically from the MySQL database, so no clumsy 'rebuilding' is involved. It also means faster search/display capabilities, and the ability to serve your news in different 'templates' without any hassle.

Requirements ?
A server that can run PHP4, and a MySQL database (you can install b2 in an already existing database, and you can put several b2's in one database).

Where can I download it ?
b2 0.6 is the latest public release.
You can also visit the CVS server for the latest code, at your own risks.
See the ReadMe file for requirements and installation instructions.

E-mail: m@tidakada.com
Forums: over there. :)
