Changelog 14-05-2013

Too bad, changes in this blog is a feature regression from before. The change is about security. As we know, there are ongoing wars on Botnet. The most recorded battle was last time when all of the known WordPress-based blog being attacked all around the world. So, in reaction of that, Blog Mahasiswa will have to protect itself:

Events Manager is being shut. Nobody had ever used it.
Some unmaintained blogs are being attacked because of their popularity. We delete them because Google had warn us about injection.
Some tuning in security.
Daily updates of themes and plugins.

As our commitment, we will give the best experience for Blog Mahasiswa bloggers. It will always be a balance between security and features.

Have fun blogging!

Changelog 12-04-2012

Change event link behavior.

A new update. I change the default behavior of an event detail link into a page in main site instead of linking it directly into sub sites. This is a workaround if main site and sub site using different slug.

For instance, our main site uses “kegiatan” as the default slug, meaning events should be accessed at “http://mhs.blog.ui.ac.id/kegiatan/” page. While default Events Manager slug is “events” resulting sub site such as my blog uses URL: “http://mhs.blog.ui.ac.id/jan20/events/”. And that gives an error for people clicking on the page. It would redirected into “http://mhs.blog.ui.ac.id/jan20/kegiatan/event-page-example/” which would return error 404 (page not found).

Of course, another workarounds are 1) the main site use default slug; or 2) sub sites change their slug to have the same slug as main site. I prefer the former because it would not wise to hinder new user.

All in all, Event Manager could be a better tool for students for broadcasting their UKM/any UI related events to people. I wish we could use this well.

Suggestion?

Changelog 03-04-2012

Changelog of nothing big. Yet, just an accumulative changelog worthy of not mentioning.

Update Buddypress for security fix.
Regular update Event Manager.
Update for themes. The winner of constantly updated theme goes to iFeature.
Update for WordPress Importer. A plugin for importing your post from wordpress.com and vice versa.

This blog engine is constantly updated to reflect security fixes on upstream, but no worthy updates with new feature. Still, happy safe blogging.
