Upcoming release of imBlogging 1.2.0

There have been 2 main initiatives with this module and they are worthy of a new release of imBlogging. The first is the utilization of page information in generating meta tags which was discussed in this thread. The second is leveraging the ability to apply permissions to posts for viewing - Recent post and original post.

In the 1st initiative, the index page of the module can have several different lists of posts - all posts, posts in a category, or posts by a particular author. This new update will enable you to set META keywords and a META description for the module (these were already enabled for individual posts). imTagging, the companion module for creating and managing categories, had the meta properties for the categories already. Combining all these features now generates different page titles for the index page depending on the parameters used to generate it (all posts, category, or author).

In the 2nd initiative, default permissions can now be set at the module level, in preferences. If you are upgrading your module and already have posts published, the upgrade script will determine the view permissions for the module granted to each group, save them as the default permissions for new posts, and apply to all existing posts. When you add new posts or edit existing posts, you can change the permissions on them individually. (next phase is to apply to multiple posts at once). This gives you the ability to limit what viewers see, based on the user group they belong to.

Both these modules have also been prepared for the upcoming release of ImpressCMS 2.0, along with running on PHP7 and PHP8.
