Microblog component

Are you kidding me? You can't use Mikro because of the URLs format? This is rediculous!
In Micro what is important is the category page, not the article.

Sorry to have upset you with my comment, but this is my pure personal opinion. I would love to hear other opinions on this as well.

BTW, I still think micro is a great component and my comments are only meant to further improve/develop it.

When a new extension is being developed and addressed to public, developer must examine all the future requirements and the general needs of CMSs users. I think that it's not a big deal the URL format as search machines crowl the entire page, its structure and so much more complex tasks.

How can mikro content be included in Elxis Search engine results ?

[datahell]

A search engine needs to be developed for Mikro. I will try to built it for you these days.

[rentasite]

Great!

[datahell]

Search engine for Mikro is under development. Stay tuned!

[datahell]

The search engine for component Mikro is ready and you can download it from EDC.
The engine allows you to search for Mikro articles from within Elxis standard search form.

Request: Newsletter (option) to send also microblog posts.

[datahell]

OK, Newsletter v1.2 is under development!

Working on a local installation with Microblog component to find out how it works, i have noticed in RSS feeds the following:

I have set an rss url (from an elxis 2009.x site) and all articles are displayed well. When the URL of an article from the external source site is longer than 144 characters (including all /) even the component displays the article fine, clicking on the link More, at the external window which opens to show the article from the source site it cuts the URL to this limit, with result to get a 404 error from this (external source site).

[datahell]

The limit in Mikro external (source) links length is 160 characters. And this is a limit of the database column, not Mikro's. 160 characters is this (including spaces):

test://www. kati-trexei-sta-gyftika.com/ mia-katigoria-periexomenon/ kai-alli-mia-edo/ vale-kai-alli-katigoria/ arnaki-aspro-kai-paxy-tis-manas-toy-kamari.html

Is this not enough? If you have larger links than that consider shorten them because they are too long.

You can off course change the size of the column:
Table: elx_mikro_msgs
Columns: source_link and link (VARCHAR)
Default size: 160, you can increase it up to 255 characters.

[datahell]

You asked for it and you got it! Module Newsletter can now (version 1.2) send newsletters for Mikro articles too.
