Dave's Roller 5.0 status

I've been doing some weekend and evening work on Roller 5.0 to get it
ready for release. Ganesh and Tanuja did great work on the new Media
Blogging features, but there were a couple of significant pieces
missing such as data migration and I18N. I had hoped to finish that
work during the summer, but life got in the way. Now I'm scrambling to
wrap things up. I'll be speaking at ApacheCon US 2009 in November on
the topic of What's New in Roller 5.0, so I'd really like to have a
5.0 release candidate ready by then.

Just as a reminder, here's what's currently on the 5.0 feature list:

    Media Blogging Support
    Externalizable User Management
    OpenID Support
    Tag Data API
    OpenSearch
    OAuth for AtomPub
    see also -> http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/9aQB

Except for Media Blogging, all of those features are complete. My plan
is this. I'll do some more cleanup work on Media Blogging, which is
the major new feature in 5.0, then, I'll address the issues below:

    ROL-1808  :  Mention getRequestParamter() limitation in Template Guide
    ROL-1760  :  Scheduled tasks do not run on Oracle (or other DBs
with high precision timestamps)
    ROL-1724  :  Bug in trunk AuthoritiesPopulator.java
    ROL-1304  :  Set frontpage blog in Roller install page
    see also -> http://bit.ly/46w2ky

Once I'm done with those, I'll cut an RC because those issues above
are the only issues marked to be fixed for 5.0.

I went through the issues and removed the fix-for 5.0 designation from
all issues that have no person assigned to fix them. If there are
other issues that you would like to have fixed in 5.0, or new
features, then you are welcome to submit patches, volunteer to fix
them and we can get them back on the list.

Any comments or concerns about this?

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks.

Given the limited resources being devoted, I agree, and  this probably a
good idea for every release.  I'm not sure how the fix-for-version is
being set in the first place, but if it's by a developer rather than the
filer, there is some potential loss of triage information in clearing it
out.  We should probably shoot out a message to the dev list as a last
call to volunteer prior to clearing them: i.e. assign to yourself,
submit a patch, or they will be cleared.  I'll try to help, at very
least with RC testing.

Hi,
I need some help with Apache roller blog application.

I am not aware about technical details of comments.vm file (like how to
compile it, which language its coded in, the full form of VM extension
etc) so am unable to make following change.

I need to remove the Name text field in the comments page (Where user puts

his comments on any Blog), and take the user name from the logged in
credentials.

Please help me in this regard.


Thanks And Regards,
Ajay Chandravadiya.

The comments.vm file is interpreted at runtime and it is written in
the Apache Velocity Template Language.
The $objects in comments.vm are defined in the Roller Template Author Guide.

In Roller 4.0 we don't allow templates to know the currently logged in
users name, so you won't be able to "take the user name from the
logged in credentials" by modifying comments.vm. You'll have to make
Java code changes and I'd have to do some research into old code to
tell you more. In Roller 5.0 we'll have a
$utils.getAuthenticatedUser() method which makes this type of thing
easier to do.
