Future of MultiBlog

Recently, I discovered a new callback I can make very good use of in MultiBlog: AppPostEntrySave. It was introduced with MT 3.1, and solves the exact problem I had to work around with MultiBlog.

So, implementing use of this callback will most certainly drive some big changes in MultiBlog including:

  • Cleaning up the interface
  • Hopefully fixing some of the weird bugs that have come up

Before I get started on that, though, I think I want to work up some of the ideas I have had for a plugin permissions plugin (yeah, try to wrap your head around that one). Once that is complete, I can hook MultiBlog into it , as well as any of my other plugins with configuration interfaces that need to be protected.

Can't wait to see how you use the new callback! Let me know if you need help finding a resource to work on the UI for the new version. The CSS boxes of the current version are my only nitpick with the whole plugin. :)

Anil,

I am never one to turn down help, especially in the UI realm. And believe me, the more I think about, the uglier the current interface looks to me. :)
