Now days p2 version 1.1 supports nice looking titles and fixes pretty much any gripes I had with v1.0

Any luck with this? It seems like you’re not working on it anymore, are you?

Hey Steven and other P2 modifiers.

I tried implementing the version of P2 above (the diff applied to the SVN version) on my site: http://rickikumar.com

I’ve noticed two things:
1.) Whenever I type a title, from the front end and check the post through the administration panel, the title ends up being the content (just like the regular P2).
2.) Whenever I hit submit, the title doesn’t get carried down to the “Recent Updates” section with the tags/content through AJAX.

Are these known problems? I’ve not modified any of the code myself and am strictly using the files from the link above. I’ve tried my luck with the “Display titles” feature (under Prologue Options) both on and off, and neither have worked.

Hey guys, this is awesome, but I can’t seem to get this patched with 1.0.4 – could someone post the appropriate changes? (I think Jere’s — from 4:18 on May 11 — are for the previous version?)

Thanks in advance!

I am using your version of the P2 theme and I also have the problem described by Monsieur de Feu. When you fix the problem, PLEASE let us know. Thanks in advance.

Take that back – your patch was actually a lot nicer IMHO, they didn’t include the title field on the frontpage form and put the titles in instead of tags – but that’s easier to fix – anyway, thanks for posting your work!

Nevermind – it seems they have implemented your changes with along with an option in the official release as off 1.0.4 – so no wonder the patch failed after I updated – and all but the entry.php code looks just like yours – so congrats, I guess!
