Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19394 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: blog.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Bèr Kessels Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: active severe update again, not yet committed. I need your opinion on this. PLease read on and comment. What I did now is make this a true "blog anything" system. Whyle the previous (above attached) patch changes the system drastically, it still only allows you to add items to your blog where you are the author! What I did now, is change the behaviour, so that you can blog anything you can see. If you read something, and its not yet in your blog, you can hit a "blog this" link, et voila, its in your blog. However, this might sound cool, but it comes dangerously close to a bookmark system. So i would like to know if this change is feaible according to you. If so, I will submit the changes, if not, I will keep them private.

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19394 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: blog.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Bèr Kessels Updated by: Junyor Status: active Generally speaking, I like it. It was easy and fairly intuitive to add an image node to my blog. Comments: 1) In the update script, isn't the UPDATE query backwards, i.e. shouldn't all blog nodes be turning into story nodes and not the other way around? 2) Should you be able to put a node in two (or more) blogs? Right now, if a user has a node in his/her blog and another user goes into admin > content, the "Add to blog" check box is already checked. I'd like to have the ability for two users to put the same node in their blog if users will be able to put nodes they didn't author into their blog. Admittedly, that may cause more trouble than it's worth.

However, if that functionality doesn't go in, the current "Blog this" UI needs to be changed, as it's a bit confusing. You shouldn't see the check box if you didn't author the node.
