Re: Option to render blog item titles as simple text

I was wondering why you haven't done this yourself and sent me a patch. It would only require adding a new module setting, it will not require any schema change.

I can make this enhancement for you as it will only require a few minutes. I will add a module setting BlogUseLinkForHeading with default true and use this to handle the rendering.

Once I have this in svn you will need to add this module setting to the blog manually for exisiting installation, though new installation will have it correctly.

This illustrates what I'm trying to do by adding guids to the modules. In the future I will have a way to easily add new module settings during ugrade where now there is no convenient way to do it so people upgrading will never see this option unless they add it manually.

I should have this in svn by the end of the day.

Option to render blog item titles as simple text

Now when viewing a blog any blog item title is rendered as a link to BlogView.aspx.

Need an option to render it as just a simple heading with no link to any additional page.

P.S. I cannot implement this myself as this should be a module property, so it needs some db changes.

Re: Option to render blog item titles as simple text

Thanks for the feature in svn.

This does not require any schema change, but do require an insert to a table in all data layers to enable this (that means upgrade scripts, new db version, etc). I am also not familiar with setup yet. That's why I didn't want to perform this myself.

As I understood from your message, you are not going to add database scripts for it, so I really could do it by myself. Thanks anyway.

Re: Option to render blog item titles as simple text

I am going to implement a method for easily adding module settings during install and upgrade, but it is problematic to do it with dbscripts previously because I could not rely on integer ids being the same in all dbs across platforms or if things got deleted and added again with different ids.

With the new guids it would be possible to do it more easily with scripts but still I have a better way in mind that will also support this ability for external modules developed by others so that they can be configured for inclusion during installation and can add settings during upgrades.
