Mambo 4.5.2 Upgrade; RSS Fix

Posted February 20, 2005, 6:36 p.m.

I installed the 4.5.2 upgrade to the Mambo content management system today, which resulted in some downtime this afternoon. Most of the fixes in this upgrade aren’t of any note to the end-user, but there are a lot of improvements in the administrative interface that I use to post.

One notable improvement is in the RSS feed and the LiveJournal feed that populates from it. If you click into a content item from one of those feeds, you should actually see what section and category that content lives in (hopefully eliminating confusion between news and satire pieces).

Enjoy—and if you find any problems, please email me and let me know!

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
