Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/10752 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/10752 Project: Drupal -Version: 4.6.0 +Version: 4.6.2 Component: aggregator.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Gunnar Langemark@www.langemark.com Updated by: maui1 Status: patch (code needs review) I couldn't agree more. Placing the "Blogit" link in the block is almost worse than not having it. I only decide to blog an item or post it as a story based on reading the description, not from the title alone. Blogit and Post as Story were the two most used features in my Aggregator installation and users are screaming bloddy murder over their dissapearance. Please, Please add these features back to the main distribution and if necessary for some designers, have an admin check box to dissable it. maui1 Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 12 Sep 2004 07:51:48 +0000 : Gunnar Langemark@www.langemark.com I upgraded Langemarks Cafe and noticed that the "blog it" link from aggregator posts is no more. So I did a clean install of cvs - and it is still not there. I use it every day as it is an integrated part of my site maintenance routine. So for me it is critical - even though Drupal runs fine without. Sure hope this is a bug and not something which has been removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 12 Sep 2004 23:44:20 +0000 : drumm I am on my slow computer and haven't done a full test (subscribe to feeds and confirm it works), but the permisison name recently changed from maintain blog to edit own blog. Make sure you have those all selected properly in admin >> users >> configure >> roles. Setting as a support request for now as I could not find any inconsistencies in the code yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 18 Feb 2005 02:54:36 +0000 : tatonca Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/aggregator.module_5.patch (1.11 KB) I hope this is the way to do this... There is a thread discussing this issue: http://drupal.org/node/10740 and I think Dries confirms that this was changed by design. I myself liked having the feature, so I added it back in on my site. Patch attached - hope folks find this useful... I thought it might be kewl to make this an option to be turned on or off in the aggregator admin settings - haven't got as far as figuring out how to do that yet ;) when I do I'll post that too... Since this was originally removed by design I've changed the status to feature request. I also tried to find another thread or issue but this seemed to be the only one... ~Tat~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 26 Mar 2005 07:14:04 +0000 : wal

From what I found, you have to be the original admin account to get the "blog it" icon. I even tried making an "admin" role and giving it all the permissions. The only way I see the icon is if I am logged in as the original admin account. Giving all the permissions to the "authenticated user" role didn't seem to be enough.

I simply changed the original account to be my username. I know this isn't a real fix but since I am the only person using that specific install it fixes my issue. Good luck, --Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 09 Apr 2005 17:22:49 +0000 : bloggator This worked for me: In your aggregator.module, replace everything from line 1111 to the end with:    $output .= "<div class=\"news-item\">\n";    $output .= ' <div class="date">'. date('H:i', $item->timestamp) ."</div>\n";    $output .= " <div class=\"body\">\n";   $output .= " <div class=\"title\"><a href=\"$item->link\">$item->title</a> ";   if ($user->uid && module_exist('blog') && user_access('edit own blog')) {     if ($image = theme('image', 'misc/blog.png', t('blog it'), t('blog it'))) {       $output .= '<span class="icon">'. l($image, 'node/add/blog', array('title' => t('Comment on this news item in your personal blog.'), 'class' => 'blog-it'), "iid=$item->iid") .'</span>';   $output .="</div>\n";     }   }    if ($item->description) {      $output .= " <div class=\"description\">$item->description</div>\n";    }   if ($item->ftitle && $item->fid) {     $output .= " <div class=\"description\"> </div>\n";     $output .= ' <div class="source">'. t('Source') .': '. l($item->ftitle, "aggregator/sources/$item->fid") ."</div>\n";   }   $result = db_query('SELECT c.title, c.cid FROM {aggregator_category_item} ci LEFT JOIN {aggregator_category} c ON ci.cid = c.cid WHERE ci.iid = %d ORDER BY c.title', $item->iid);   $categories = array();   while ($category = db_fetch_object($result)) {     $categories[] = l($category->title, 'aggregator/categories/'. $category->cid);   }   $output .= " </div>\n";   $output .= "</div>\n";   return $output; } ?> Best regards, Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 26 Apr 2005 22:58:57 +0000 : maui1 Hi Jeff, I tried your code patch for the aggregator module in 4.6 and it didn't get the blogIt and Post as Story links back. It did seem to slow access to aggregator down, but no links. Where was this design decision made, I would like to contribute my reasons for needing this functionality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 05 Jul 2005 04:11:13 +0000 : johnpg It's missing the $user declaration so it never gets past the "if" statements. Edit the theme_aggregator_page_item function so it looks like this. function theme_aggregator_page_item($item) { static $last; global $user; Then add if ($user->uid && module_exist('blog') && user_access('edit own blog')) { if ($image = theme('image', 'misc/blog.png', t('blog it'), t('blog it'))) { $output .= ''. l($image, 'node/add/blog', array('title' => t('Comment on this news item in your personal blog.'), 'class' => 'blog-it'), "iid=$item->iid", NULL, FALSE, TRUE) .''; } } Directly after this line: $output .= ' '. check_plain($item->title) .\" [1]\n"; This should really be back in the code as standard, very useful. John [1] http://drupal.org/'. check_url($item->link) .' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 05 Jul 2005 04:12:50 +0000 : johnpg It's missing the $user declaration so it never gets past the "if" statements.

In the aggregator contents after the title, where the blog.png image should be, the actual code to the image file shows: <img src="misc/blog.png" alt="blog it" title="blog it" /> as a link. Yes the image exists, yes img span and div are allowed in that format. What am I doing wrong? I tried changing the path to the image, making it absolute, putting the image in the theme directory, but then nothing shows at all after the title. I hope someone can help me with this, I'd really like this feature. Using Drupal 4.6.2. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 08:00:42 +0000 : Boris Mann Why the hell does this keep getting taken out?! Many people use it, it shouldn't be removed. If some developers somewhere don't like it, then add an admin setting to toggle this on or off. It really should be added to both 4.6 and 4.7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 10:27:44 +0000 : Prometheus6 The link exists, but in the blocks created by the aggregator, not the page that displays the actual items. That's a somewhat less useful place.
