The New Blog System
28th September 2012
Assalamu Alaykum
The blog has had a major update. No updates for almost 2 years as you can see from the date of my last entry here. So how major? Well, all the pages have been updated with newer scripts, styles, features and layout.
It's been a while but Alhamdulillah I've finally got around to it. Many unneeded things were removed as well as many needed things being added.
Some of the new features include:
- Better management area
- BBCODE buttons for easier formatting
- Each blog now has it's own space and no links to other blogs will be seen from that blog
- Categorize posts now with categories
- More which you can discover by logging in or simply browsing
Comments welcome
Suggestions appreciated
Bug reports important
Jazakumullah
Wassalam

The banner is still there. It's just a fixed size now so you may need to update it by uploading a new or edited one. Please let me know if you're still having any problems

ummi taalib Jazakallah. The search option did not show anything when i tried it before but now it does so I can get to the blog but its become more difficult to find a particular post. Can we have categories? Before we had to go through months but now even thats not an option..sorry to be so complaining but categories on each blog would help a lot insha Allah and also readers can choose whatever interests them
Blogger's Reply:
This new update already has a category option but it won't be of any help until the bloggers actually add categories and assign old and new entries into those categories.

ummi taalib Banner: just uploaded it again and it shows as uploaded but does not show up
Blogger's Reply:
To me, your same banner shows up. Are you sure you uploaded a new banner from "Settings" and you didn't upload a new file from "Manage Files"??

I think there may be a browser issue. Can you let me know what browser you're using and I'll test it on that to make sure. So far, a few banners have been updated on some blogs so it is working. I think Internet Explorer might be a problem, it almost always is. Can you try a different browser too? Jazakillah

The banner can only be a maximum of 150px to maintain layout. The instructions are right below the upload form. If you need one made, please send instructions via email. It doesn't take long to make and it improves the look

ummi taalib ok jazakallah. Can my old one be resized?
A few things, not sure if should post here but here goes:
1. after viewing a blog,i click on view all blogs and this msg appears:
The webpage cannot be found
so i have to enter the site and then go back
2. forum cannot be accessed from blogs any more
3. Is it possible to have names of bloggers on the "latest blog entries" along with the titles so one's favaourite can be quickly chosen?

I was just wondering why the date is mentioned twice on each post. Is it possible to remove the date in the box as perhaps it makes the page too crowded? juat a suggestion

Wsalam, one is a calendar type display and the other is on the header of the post. Not together really so this is useful to easily find dates if required.

ummi taalib aslm...sorry but have to report this: categories maybe messed up? 3 posts from "Prophet Muhammad" are in "Matters of the Heart" and i've checked in case i had made a mistake
Blogger's Reply:
Wsalam. Jazakillah for these reports. I checked properly and found the cause. Categories should work properly now. The entries from each category will show as expected.

jazakallaah.the category "matters of the heart" still contain 3 posts which are supposed to be in "Prophet MUhammad" even though i took them out totally and then put them in the right category so still something wrong
Also will you be able to fix it so that the banner is visible with explorer?

Blogger's Reply:
Internet explorer header issue sorted. Do CTRL+F5 to ensure it reloads the css file.
As for matter of the heart category, I am not sure why it's loading all categories in that so I'll look into that soon inshaAllah. Jazakillah for your help and feedback.

I wanted the blog entries to be listed according to dates but cannot find that option, is there such an option?

Respected Mawlana,
I was searching for a blog post and realised that most of my posts are not there (Not visible to readers). I thought it may because I'm inactive so they automatically disappear but older posts than mine are still there. Is it maybe that i cannot see them because we downgraded from windows 10 to 7? But I can read other recent posts by other bloggers.
When i logged in and checked the post is still there but just cannot be seen by readers. I tried editing and reposting it but still the same. InshaAllah you can advise. Jazaakallaahu khayraa.
