Fle4

Version 3.1.1 of Wordpress had a subtle change in the page DOM, which broke the way AJAX calls were made from the KB plugin. Made a quick fix, seems to work on both 2.8.4 and 3.1.1. Upgrade to version 0.5.5 will bring you the fix.

No functional changes, just a heads-up that WP 3.0 is supported. Also, check out David Groos’s excellent instructions for tackling Fle4 issues.

Wordpress 2.9 will be released in just a few days. Fle4 is now tested to work correctly with 2.9. And the oldest version Fle4 supports is 2.7.

Fle4 also now has comment sorting, so KB comments can be sorted according to author, knowledge type, or date. This is still a bit hacky, and gets quite slow when you have like a hundred comments in the thread, but it’s there to play with.

The Wordpress plugin now supports Knowledge Building typesets exported from Fle3. Scaffolding is also functional, so colors, phrase starters, check lists and detailed descriptions of KB types are now visible when writing a comment to a KB-enabled blog post.

The Wordpress plugin now supports Knowledge type sets exported from Fle3. There are several sets available at the Fle3 downloads section. At this point you need to unzip them, rename the “fledom.xml” file to something that describes the set, and place it into the kbsets subfolder of the plugin. After that the set will show up in the administration screens (Settings, Knowledge Building).

We’ve now started doing mockups of the UI, and implementing the core features of KB for WP.
