Blogsy 3.2.1 (Issues and bug fixes) submitted to Apple

January 16th, 2012 | Posted by Lance in Blogsy | Bugs | FAQ | Features | Fomola | Improve | Update - (14 Comments)

We have submitted Blogsy 3.2.1 to Apple and as soon as they approve it we will release it. It normally takes Apple about a week to approve updates but we have requested that the expedite this update as their are critical bug fixes in it. Hopefully they will do this and you will have the update in the next few days.

Here is what is in Blogsy 3.2.1.

1) Paragraph Spacing for Blogger users.

We have added an option in the Settings menu where users can change the HTML method to using the <div> tag instead of the <p> tag. For users that want to use the Blogger method of hitting enter once and getting no spacing they’ll need to select this setting. BUT THE <div> TAG CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH SOME BLOG THEMES.

Description of the problem: In Blogsy 3.2 we were able to figure out a way to parse the way the iOS webkit uses <div> tags and use the standard <p> tags. But for some reason Blogger chooses to use the <br/> tag instead of the <p> tag. With a <p> tag there is spacing after the paragraph. But with the <br/> tag there is no spacing. Blogger users want the single spacing of the <br/> tag. iOS does not allow us to use the <br/> tag in the webkit (Rich Side in Blogsy).

If a user does not want to change to the <div> tag method but wants to use the <br/> tag once in a while they will need to flip to the HTML side and write it in the correct location.

2) XML Parser errors fixed.

Description of bug fixed: If your XML feed is malformed it causes an error in Blogsy. But in Blogsy 3.1 we were able to add code which locally corrected the most common malformed XML feed problems. This did not fix your malformed XML, it just locally fixed the errors so Blogsy could function for your blog correctly. In Blogsy 3.2 this correcting code was not working.

3) Photo Library “Load 20 More” fixed.

Description of bug fixed: If a user taps on the “Load 20 More” at the bottom of the iPad Photo Album panel it will load photos from a different album.

4) Text wrapping around images fixed.

Description of bug fixed: If a user chooses to wrap text around an image and the paragraph is longer than the image the text does not wrap around  the image. If you publish the post the text will actually wrap around the image even though it does not appear that way in Blogsy.

 5) iPad Photo Library Crash.

We have changed some code which we think will solve this problem. But as we are not able to reproduce this problem we can’t test to see if it actually solves the problem. If you continue to have this problem after updating to Blogsy 3.2.1 please notify us right away.

Description of bug fixed: When a user taps on the iPad photo library icon Blogsy crashes.

6) Joomla and Drupal more tag update fixed.

 Description of bug fixed: If a Joomla or Drupal user updates a post which has a more tag in it nothing after the more tag will be part of the post.

7) Translation problems fixed.

Description of errors fixed: 1) The “Add” button for Labels for Blogger blogs is in French. 2) The version number and name are incorrect in the French version of Blogsy. 3) The word “Bookmarklet” should be used in the Spanish version for the “Blogsy Bookmarklet” button.

Version 2.3 critical bug and fix.

August 19th, 2011 | Posted by Lance in Blogsy | Bugs | Features | Update - (0 Comments)

We should be submitting an update to Apple tonight (our time) to address a couple of bugs. One such bug is a critical bug fix. Apple take up to a week to approve updates so it should be in the App Store next week.

Critical bug -

This issue can occur only when you have chosen to publish to your Posterous blog. If Blogsy receives an error message from your blog when posting (depending on the error message) Blogsy considers the post to be published and clears it from local memory. Depending on the error message the post may never get published to your blog. Therefore, in this set of circumstances your post is lost. As a precaution, until the this update comes out next week, before you publish your post, copy everything on the Write Side (HTML Side). Just select it all and tap on copy. You don’t need to paste it anywhere. Now publish your post and if you get the error message and your post never shows up on your blog then just paste what you copied back into the Write Side. You need to set the title and tags again.
The fix will make sure that Blogsy does not clear the post if an error message is received. But it may still publish even though an error message is received. So, in this case users will need to delete the post from the local list in Blogsy manually if the post actually published after getting an error message.

Blogsy 2.1 submitted to Apple – The Monster

July 13th, 2011 | Posted by Lance in Blogsy | Features | Improve | Update - (7 Comments)

This update is code named The Monster. We have submitted it to Apple and as soon as Apple approves it (5 to 7 days) it will be released out into the wild.

I don’t want to say one feature change is better than another but the crowning jewel may be page support. That’s right, now you can use Blogsy to create or edit pages. But I will just give you the full list and you can decide which feature enhancement you think is the crowning jewel.

HTML Entities not being recognized?

July 1st, 2011 | Posted by Lance in Blogsy | Features | Improve | Update - (0 Comments)

A few users have complained, saying that Blogsy was stripping out some HTML or not recognizing certain HTML entities. And if you read the earlier blog post about what we are working on then you know that we are looking into giving users the option to turn the parser off and and also improving the HTML entities recognized by our parser.

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Blogsy will have the option to turn the parser off. But this will actually not do much for you as it is not our parser that is causing problems recognizing some HTML entities.

Let me go through and explain this in more detail.
