Comments fix?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Andy tells me that he got aspcomments working with the new, longer blogids that the new version of blogger is going to be kicking out. I haven’t tried it yet on the test blog, but probably will tonight.

Hmm here’s a pretty good hint that I should learn more about programming myself, huh? I knew there must be something in the ASP code itself that was causing it to not work with a text field but didn’t know enough to find it. Thanks for the info Andy!

Update: I tried Andy’s fix on both the Office 2003 blog and my test Dano blog. On the 2003 blog it works fine, on the Dano blog it works, but the counts don’t work. I’ve looked at everything over and over and they seem to have identical setups, identical coding and identical databases, but the one with 9 digit blogid’s counts, while the 18 digit blogid’s don’t. I may just have to live with that….

(using all the appropriate jargon to keep out the riff-raff. *smile*.) That’s all well and good, but if you really want to know…

    An IT director’s lot is not a happy one. No suprise here really, network security and virus threats keep all of us on our toes, and if you’re unlucky enough to be the place where the buck stops when it comes to being responsible for this stuff, it’s a pretty stressful situation. On the other…

    Update to this post about fixing the comments. I figured out what I had done wrong. I put the blogitemnumber in quotes in the template (Right after the “javascript:aspcomments”) after I had already left a comment. The comment got stuck in the database with the wrong blogid, since the javascript rounded it 17 digits and…

    Since I was already in the “web programming” mood when I got home, what with the ATOM feed on Angela’s blog, and since the DNS seems to have caught up with the server move on the child abuse site, I went ahead and upgraded the Movable Type installation over there, and added an atom feed…
