BlogEngine.Net updates

Here are some things that I am working on or have done for the BlogEngine.Net

  1. I added an xmlroleprovider (read only version)
  2. Added a sitemap for the admin pages with security trimming.  Required rewriting the menu.aspx.cs code. 
  3. Updated the Syntax formatting.  It now works.  See the http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=3103 for details.
  4. I spoke with Mads about the outstanding issues and the impending release of 1.2.  Oh yeah, we are jamming this one up with lots of goodies.  I think more than we expexted.
  5. Revamped the comments with more administrator controls.  Like approving individual comments on a post and approve all the comments on a post.

I am letting everyone get a chance to play with my current changes to see where there can be improvements, enchancements, changes, etc.  Meanwhile, I will be working on the write version of the xmlroleprovider.  The xmlroleprovider will have the following features.

  • It will make sure there is a roles.xml file everytime it fires up and make sure there are two roles included; administrators and editors. The names are so the ActiveDirectory can be mapped properly without killing the application because of roles.
  • If no existing user is included in the required roles it will add all of the users to the administrators and editors role.  You will be able to remove them later.
  • You will be able to add/remove users from roles.
  • You will be able to create/delete roles.  You will never be able to delete the administrators and editors roles.  We may be tying that into code security executions.

Did I forget anything?
