July 12

Rearranged the right sidebar.

Removed links to docs that were already in the Docs menu.

Moved the Save button up, and the Message of the Day down.

Fargo will work better on shorter screens as a result.

The equivalent of draft mode

  • New setting in the Insert panel, allows you to tell Fargo to create new items with the + icon as comments. Comments will not be rendered by Trex, and will not appear in your RSS feed. This is useful if you're creating posts and don't want them to be viewed until they're finished.

  • The workflow:

      1. Click + to create a new post.
      1. Edit your post until you're happy with it.
      1. Put the cursor on the top head in the post.
      1. Choose Toggle Comment in the Outline menu.
    • When the outline is next saved the new item will then appear on the site, and will be included in the RSS feed.

  • Screen shot.

Redundant setting

  • Removed the Autosave pref from the Advanced panel in Settings. There is a panel just for Autosave, so the setting was redundant.

New #directive

  • For some of my posts I wanted the comments to be visible when the page is displayed, not hidden.

  • So there's a new attribute, flCommentsVisible that says whether the comments are initially visible.

  • Here's a post that illustrates.

  • You can set it true after the fact, when a post attracts a lot of comments that you want people to see.

  • Note: It's only effective if flCommentsHidable is true.

A curiosity

  • Whole version numbers like 1.0 mean nothing at Small Picture. Every time there's a new release we bump the version by 1/100th.
