RavenPlus Version 1.0.503 - A Fix For "Empty Blog Content Upon Posting"

My last blog post actually had empty blog content upon posting. I never had this problem before since I started using Raven some 5 or 6 months back. And neither did this problem occurred after I made modifications to Raven, that is until the last blog post.

I did not suspect anything amiss while composing my last blog post as nothing that I have written were loss or missing while editing. But upon publishing, I was shocked to see that my blog post had no content when viewed from my desktop web browser Opera. Not a single word that I have composed was published.

After having made numerous attempts, it was only after removing my "iframe" ads did I manage to successfully upload my blog post. I always put Amazon Affiliate Ads at the end of my blog post, by the way.

I believe I have since found the fix to this problem. To allow putting in "iframe" tags in my blog posts, I have added a couple of lines of addition code to the file "zoundry\blogapp\services\pubsystems\blog\blogpublisher.py" so that blog contents gets filtered through uTidyLib before publishing (see Zoundry Raven: Inserting Amazon Affiliate "iframe" Ads).

To fix this problem, I have redefined one of the parameter for tidyOptions to

output_xml=0

from

output_xml=1

The parameter, output_xml, is used for enabling or disabling pretty printing of XML tags. But we are dealing with XHTML here and not XML. And besides, pretty printing is not required here. Setting this parameter to zero, disables this option and it seems to fix this problem. I cannot remember now why I enabled this option previously. It could be that I have misread the parameter, mistaken it for output_xhtml instead of output_xml.

RavenPlus Version "1.0.503" can be downloaded here, which fixes this problem.
