So, das mooblog erstrahl nun in einem neuen Theme…

Ich hoff es sieht überall so halbwegs ident aus. Bei den beim Testen verwendeten Browsern hats gepasst. ;)

After the upgrade to the new BlogEngine.net version I tought it would be nice to demonstrate my mail2blog extension.

So.. this post is powered by my mail2blog and my textformatter extension.

The subject with the information about the entry looks like this:

And here is the body of the mail:

Maybe you’re asking why there is this “” at the beginning.. my textformatter extension is configured to only convert entries which have this marker. So none of my older posts are processed by the extension.

And the divs are there to prevent the extension to format the text inside them. This isn’t a feature of my extension, no, it’s part of [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) which does all the hard work.

Oh and the image was an attachment to the mail.

BlogEngine.net 1.4 wurde eben veröffentlicht, und da ich Zeit hatte habe ich mich gleich ans updaten gemacht.

Lies alles problemlos, wenn man vom Patchen für meine mail2blog Extension absieht.

Its late.. I need some sleep.. so just a few words:

Have fun with it.

Mail2Blog Extension v0.1 - 21. June 2008

As every extension it’s released under the Ms-PL

For usage informations, installation notes and so on, take a look into the readme.txt in the zip file…

Later I will create a page for the extension, where I’ll put those informations too, but now I have to go to bed.

Oh.. and.. I have used this extension several times on this blog and it worked without problems, but the released one is a little bit pimped up.. So there could be some bugs, or other crazy things. Please inform me about weird behaviour.

Mhm.. and you need a current version of BlogEngine.net (at least with this extensionmanager thing..) and it would be fine when you’re able to do some changes to the code of BlogEngine.net. (Reason is explained in the readme file, and here is some explanation too )

And now.. good night.

whoops..I forgot to mention how to write an email to your blog:

Just write a normal email to the configured email address, but some special information in the subject:

The [BLOG] part is needed, but can be configured to some other text. (Called prefix on the configure page) Then you have a tag and a category list. You can specify the author, and the subject. These infos are recognized by the characters surrounding the information. So remember:

None of them are required infos, except the prefix part. ([BLOG] in the example above..)

Update 3. July 2008: Here is the patched core dll to use with the mail2blog extension. It’s the code from the official 1.4 release but with the 2 modifications needed.

Arbeite seit gestern Abend an einer mail2blog Extension für BlogEngine.net.

Das ist so ziemlich das einzige Feature das mir abgeht. dasBlog hatte diese Funktion schon als ich began diese Blog-Software zu benutzen, und ich habe sie auch mehrere male benutzt. Alle Einträge der mobile-Kategorie (ausgenommen der Ankündigung vom m600i) wurden von meinem alten Handy (SE v600i) geschrieben.

Habe damals einfach eine MMS an die eingetragene E-Mail Adresse geschickt, und dasBlog hats dann irgendwann abgeholt und ins Blog gestellt.

Zuerst hats nicht ganz funktioniert, weil soweit ich mich erinnern kann war einer der E-Mail Header nicht ganz korrekt, und wurde deswegen nicht erkannt. Das Problem wurde aber schnell behoben, und dem Mobile-Blogging stand nichts mehr im Wege.

In letzter Zeit vermisste ich diese Funktion zunehmends, und gestern rappelte ich mich auf und habe mit der Umsetzung einer solchen Extension begonnen.Mehr...

TinyMCE can be a pain in the neck, especially when you like to have full control over your blog posts, or you’re using something like my Text Formatting Extension

Removing it from the blog engine is very easy, but it has some sideeffects. The smilie-extension isn’t working anymore. ;) Okay.. it’s possible to bring it back to life.

So let’s begin with our operation. Mehr...

Deutschsprachige User aufgepasst! Es folgt Englisch!

Well, it was a long time of nothing here on blog.furred.net, but today I wrote another extension for BlogEngine.net.

It was a quit simple task, because I just used two nice libraries, which are already existing for serveral years.

I had the idea for this extension a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I forgot the name of this libary. lol! But I found it again.

You may ask what the extension is for, and I will answer with two words: wiki-like (one) formatting (two). Yeah. That’s it!

The whole thing works quite fine, even with my syntax highlighter. Before you ask: No, I’m not using TinyMCE or some other wysiwyg editor to write my blog posts. Plain old textarea (or let’s say multiline textbox )

Lets come to the libraries I mentioned.
The first one ist a Markdown library for .net written by Milan Negovan.

And the other one is Smarty Pants. A .NET version comes with Markdown.Net

Please notice:
Original Markdown and SmartyPants © John Gruber
Markdown.NET and SmartyPants.NET © Milan Negovan

The extension will be released when I know if it works with the current version of the engine. I had no time to perform an upgrade.

Update 07.Dec.2007 Today I performed an upgrade to the most recent BlogEngine version from svn, and tested the extension. It worked, so I put the code online. So grab the extension now!

Update 17.Dec.2007 Mh. It seems that nobody is using this extension. Because today I found out, that there was a little mistake in the uploaded version. The text is formatted, but it isn’t replaced, so the original text is written to the user. Download is updated, now it works.

I’m already using it, and yes, this post is written with it.

Here is some demonstration of the features

Oh, it’s a quote!

Nested quotes?

Hallo, mal wieder ausnahmsweise ein englischer Beitrag.. Geht um eine SyntaxHighlighter-Erweiterung für die Blogengine die ich verwende.. Details und Beispiele

Hi dear english readers ;)
Today I'm presenting you a syntax highlighting extension for BlogEngine.net.

Details and examples

This is how it can look:

C#-Code: Hello World!

class HelloWorldApp
{
    static void Main()
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }
}

So.. hab jetzt mal den Wechsel von DasBlog zu BlogEngine.NET vollzogen..

Hoffe mit der Software klappt alles.. es gibt sie zwar noch nicht so lange wie DasBlog, und sie hat momentan weniger Features,.. aber sie gefällt mir einfach besser als DasBlog..

Auf eine gute neue blogging Zeit..

Übrigens,.. meine MonsterID implementierung wird hier schon bei den Kommentaren verwendet.

Falls irgendwo noch kleine Fehler auftauchen meldet mir diese bitte. Beim Import der Einträge haben ein paar Sachen nicht ganz funktioniert. 

Edit
Ich mag IE6 sowas von nicht. ;) Dachte hätte diesen einen eigenartigen Fehler jetzt nicht mehr drinnen, aber tada! Er ist wieder da.. Werde hoffentlich bald eine Lösung gefunden haben...

Edit 
Der Fehler des seitwärts wandernden Inhalts ist jetzt (scheinbar, hoffentlich) behoben. Gibt zwar dafür einen anderen, kleinen Darstellungsfehler, aber der stört momentan nicht so sehr wie es der behobene es tat.

English reader? Stay tuned, just a short german intro.. the rest of this posting is written in english (more or less.. ).

So, ich mach hier kurz mal eine deutsche Einleitung, der Rest des Postings wird in Englisch gehalten sein, weil vielleicht ein paar Leute vorbei schauen werden die kein Deutsch können.

Mad Kristensens wrote a nice blog entry about cool projects that don't exist, and one of those projects is an ASP.net HttpHandler implementation of MonsterID. (look here, and here)

So I tried it, and voila here it is. =)

Just copy MonsterID.cs into your App_Code folder, the MonsterID folder into App_Data, register the HttpHandler in your web.config (or just use the MonsterID.ashx file provided) and use it like that:

<img src="MonsterID.ashx?seed=[whatyoulike]&size=[size]" />

Me:

Download MonsterID ASP.net HttpHandler

He said it should be Open Source. So let it be. Mads distributes his blog engine under the Ms-PL, so I thought I will use this license too..

Comments on implementation etc are welcome..

I hope it's good enough and free of errors,..

Foor a quick look at your monster I will provide a demo page soon..

Edit
Demo page online..

Edit - 01.08.07
Added little security fix. (size limit.. )

Edit - 03.08.07
Changed the call of Random.Next - Limit was too low..
