I wrote a small hack to list out the categories with their corresponding posts. It's nothing big, but it may be useful for those who use b2 for galleries, tutorials, and such. b2-include/b2template.functions.php is the only file that needs to be edited.

Should I be able to post here? Is this blog open for posters, or did I run into a bug?

[ Edited by Michel ]
You didn't run into a bug, you only logged on using someone's old account that has login 'hello' and pass 'hello'. Users used to be able to post here once they register, you just reminded me that I got to set these old testing users' level to zero so their accounts can't be used anymore

I would think that any essential PHP code in templates should be 'filtered' out by b2 in template editor, except the usual author/e-mail/comment tags. This saves a lot of potential damage to an edited file. When saving the template, b2 checks if the necessary code has been put in place; if not, it does just that but only if one or more author/e-mail/comment tags have been put in the file (to prevent any disasters from occuring should one be just editing a casual file).

Otherwise, it would also be wise to follow the Blogger way. b2 can process the filename (which is put as a preference) and accordingly format the tags. I think this is very much slower and harder to fix than the first one suggested.

window.open("<?php echo $path ?>/b2bookmarklet.php","b2",
resizable=no,height=300,left=100,
top=150,status=no,scrollbars=no,
location=no,menubar=no,
toolbar=no");

OS X users can change the b2profile.php javascript to this in place of the 'window.open' code that is already there. This works in OmniWeb 4.05 as well.

[ Edited by michel: added linebreaks in the code so it wouldn't break the table (just concatenate everything if you copy this code), and the correct php tag... and users can't do that since no user has got that version of b2 yet ]

For Mac OS X users of IE (yeah yeah), the b2 thing doesn't work.

http://b2.dayzero.org/b2bookmarklet.php_
_?text=b2&popuptitle=b2

should work correctly in IE 5.1.1 beta on OS X 10.1.

You should set auto-br for comments. i don't think putting the auto-br checkbox would be required for comments -- i find it perfectly alright.

Edited: b2mac supports autobr for comments. i made it that way. : )

There, no more b2edit.post.php and other extra files, all the edition is now nested in b2edit.php only.
(Edited: there's a new stupid bug in deleting comments, should be fixed tonight)

Just made the changes I was announcing in the menu at the top. It's now calling a text file with the list of the modules like this: the minimum level required by the module, the URL of the module, and the title of the module. For example: 1 edit.php Post/Edit.

Fixed a bug in the Edit mode that added extra line-breaks when you edited a post with AutoBR set On.

Worked on the Options section.

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.
