I've been doing research for the past week looking at blog packages. This is by FAR the best out there. That being said, I have found a few bugs. Not sure if these are just on my end but maybe you can replicate them and shed some light.

1. When making a post, if there are two spaces in a row entered, the output on the main page shows a question mark (in firefox) or the "box character" (in ie).

Looks as though the front page is having trouble converting the & n b s p ; into a space. Oddly enough, the editor itself reads them just fine.

2. When the config is set for no tags and no comments, the options still appears on the post page. Not really a bug, just something.

Actually, that's about it. I have clients that would be keenly interested in having this for their websites so I look forward to purchasing commercial licenses in the future. Please keep up the good work.

P.S. When I registered here to make this post, it forwards me to an invalid page.

Here's another bug.

Go to add a new article, click the insert/edit image icon, click the Upload tab. After choosing the local image file and clicking Send to Server I get this:

Error Creating Folder:
/usr/www/myhome/eggblog/_lib/fckdeditor/filemanager/connectors/php/upload.php/photos/uploads
(Not a directory)

To anyone who's interested, here's a temporary fix for the question mark/box bug mentioned in my first post:

Open the /_lib/news.php
find "function eb_article"
Look for this line:
if(substr($row[4],0,1)=="&") $output.=" ".html_entity_decode($row[4])."
";

Just above it add this:
$row[4] = str_replace(" ", " ", $row[4]);

Wow, that is some bug report :) Thanks for the feedback, thats been ammended and added to the next release. Thanks again.

I will email you regarding your third post - this is a third party editor and this will save creating an ugly series of comments.

Actually I love this blog as well it so much nicer and easier than any others I tried. The only problem I have is that I would like to have the articles into categories e.g. hairdressing, beauty but also keep the month some how. Is that easy for me to change?
Also is there a way to allow users place articles as well instead of only admin but where admin can approve before it is shown online.
I don't know it the editor is the problem I have used openwebware that has been upgraded for php in the forum not the basic one from the front page. It is quick loading but may not have as many functions as the one you use.

Hi Nanny, you can do this using tags (this is the same feature as categories).

eggBlog only allows administrators to instantly post articles.
