More Rollator mods, updates, hacks, site edits.

Well, my url redirector has already become an integral part of my site – I’ve had about 300 hits on it yesterday – even if they were from mostly the same group of IPs. ;)

I’ve entirely broken Rollator apart. It’s currently in 12 different files, each pertaining to it’s general use – other than ‘misc’, which is ‘support things which don’t quite fit anywhere else’.

This, of course, creates issues if they’re within your docroot – my installations generally are not, but still, I’ve opted to write a security wrapper, protecting internal variables against attempts to poison via cookies/get/post/ et al. Relatively minor overhead.

I’ve added a ‘comments’ link to the bottom of every front page post – if someone follows a link to a ‘view’ page, it’s already there, but it was lacking from the ‘listnews’ spec. Yes, it’s possible to leave a note for any entry – I coded it this way by design, but I’ll implement a “not me, foo’” feature as well.

The HTMLArea 3 support has been fixed – it works with I.E. under Windows – but the first load always seems to screw up the textarea into a tiny little box. Subsequent reloads fix this – I’ll probably have to script around it.
