Hal Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Is there any chace of the Meta-Blog Discussion page being changed so that it's possible to know who's blog the thread is about before clicking it? At present all that youre given is the thread title not the poster, which makes it hard to browse discriminatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Unfortunately, this isn't possible without changing the entire scheme by which incoming blogs are read, filtered, aggregated, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Doesn't it do this for Diana's posts? How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softwareNerd Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Doesn't it do this for Diana's posts?Nope. I'd done that "manually" in the sense that some times I would only bring in NoodleFood posts (from reBlog), and bring them in all the way to the Forum with Diana's user-id. [Not a scalable approach, .]oh well It is something we'd like to implement. Right now, we do the following: 1) Step 1: Filter incoming blogs [i.e. select posts] and aggregate them into the Meta-Blog (on MoveableType) 2) Step 2: Read the Moveable Type output feed into the forum I'm guessing that with a little work we might be able to get the original author's name as the author in our MetaBlog (still outside the forum). That way, people who get our RSS Feed will see the author. The second step would require that we split the feed again (by author) and read those separate feeds into the forum. (Unless IPB adds a way to get the author off the feed.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 The name now shows up as the first line. Thanks, Hal, for lobbying for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
