I don't have access to the home page, but I can tell Bob's using TAMB to create it.  Besides, it says "powered by Thingamablog" right there on the right :-)
It would be bad if he used Wordpress!
As for the forums, there is a link in the footer - Powered by SMF 1.1.10

In the help file: <$EntryTitle$> is a tag that only works between <BlogEntry></BlogEntry>

[NOT WORKING]

Hi,

Using TAMB 1.5.1
I would like to give to my readers the possibility to recommend an article of my blog.
So I modify the templates in that way :

Code:

<p class="suffix">Recommend the reading of this article : <a href="mailto:?subject=<$EntryTitle$>&body=Hi,%0D%0A%0D%0APlease have a look at this article%0D%0A<$EntryTitle$>%0D%0A<$EntryPermalink$>%0D%0ANice reading%0D%0A%0D%0A" title="Send email with article link">Send an email</a> </p>

This is NOT WORKING because there is a conflict using the > in ...$EntryTitle$> as it is interpreted as being the end of <a ref and not the end of the variable <$EntryTitle$>.

This brings me to 2 questions :

• is there another way to use TAMB variables - instead of <$...$> ?
• is there a way to "protect" the > closing the variable ? &gt; does not give a good result...

Many thanks in advance

Solution: delete weblog created with older version of TMAB and re-create it with new version, works like a charm but no fun if you got a lot of entries

I'm in the same configuration, running the last version of TAMB - blog was created with an earlier one, and no problem.
But all my LAN links begin with file:///D:/...
So there are no conflicts.
Hope this helps.
Yours,

Many thanks 

I can't get TAB to access external RSS feeds through a proxy-server

+1
no place in TAMB for configuring a proxy
without anything, access to external rss feeds does not work (immediate error)
trying to give as socks proxy the normal proxy server brings an error after a long try time
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

I did something close to what you are asking for manually to avoid long uploads as the blog grows. I blogged how I did it on my Thingamablog Blog, here:

http://www.thekimerers.com/brian/blogs/TAMB/archives/2010/01/entry_72.php

The basic idea is to have a different blog for each year and add an archive pointer to previous years in the current one. It limits the uploads to a single year of posts, but does not preclude going back and updating a blog in an archived year.

Doing this involved a lot of handwork, so it probably isn't for everybody.

Having same problem. It seems to only happen with large images though. I use a small quote image that doesn't seem to produce this problem.

Maybe a java issue? Once I try to publish with a large image CPU usage jumps to 100% with java using all the spare CPU cycles and I have to kill java. Once I restart Thingamablog I can publish with no problem although I do not re-open the post.

This is a recent problem. It didn't seem to be happening a month or so ago. I can't remember if Ubuntu updated the java engine in that period of time.

Thingamablog 1.5.1
OS: Ubuntu 9.10
Linux Kernel: 2.6.31-20-generic
Java: Java 6 Update 15

Update: Actually my CPU hits 100% once the image is inserted into the post. I don't even have to wait to publish it.
From my System Monitor, the waiting channel says 'futex_wait_queue_me'. I have no idea what this means, but though those of you in the know might.

...this whole web site is organized, including the forum as part of it. Is TAMB used to publish the "HOME" page of this site? What forum software is this using?
