Description

Since upgrading to 4.7, my method of one-click pre-formatted blogging doesn't work - it's a simple button on my toolbar which would insert the title, capture quoted text, put the link after the word "link:", left the coding all filled out so all I had to do was insert the address in the "via" field to leave a trackback, etc...
I also tried using justblogit, which suddenly doesn't work either.

I prefer either of these to performancing for firefox (which gave me session issues), and the blogapi doesn't really seem to have any solutions that would make blogging any faster for me.

Any ideas about something I'm missing or that I can do?

Try the prepopulate module:

Well, it populates the title field correctly, but no body. Something I need to tweak in the module or my code maybe?
Attached is the "blog this" code I always used as a button on my toolbar before..

Careful with issue titles :)

I'm confused. I thought you meant the reply title included the original title as well - now I see that that's normal.. What did you mean?

The title field you see in the comment form is for the whole issue and not for individual comments, so unless you want to change the issue's title, leave the title field intact when posting a comment.

I've changed the title back to its original value.

Sorry, what I should have said is try the *cvs* version of prepopulate.module.

And the deal with these titles is basically that, a "follow up" on a project issue is not really a comment (despite what the page title says), but a revision of the issue, so you're changing the title of the entire issue. Until comments can handle file attachments, the project.module is cursed to work in this confusing fashion.

It works beautifully, thank you!!
(and duly noted about the titles, thanks for that as well.)
