1. Bootstrap would be awesome, the current theme feels a little dated, and I normally strip out all the markup and just leave behind the helpers & stuff.
2. Functionality as surface controllers would be really ace, rather than the current singleton pattern - some of the more complex partials feel a little bloated with code (I like separation of code and view, but that's just my two cents and I realise some Umbraco builders may not use VS, making this a challenge);
3. Trackback support would be super awesome, which in my books keeps comments as nodes rather than a switch to Disqus (which doesn't support trackbacks) - maybe a new subtype off uCommentsy?
4. Re dependency management, I've thought that maybe you should publish a Nuget package as well as the standard Umbraco one, that way all the dependencies get pulled in at once in Visual Studio (slightly nicer developer story, although then you have to implement doctype creation etc. using Powershell, I might be able to help with this).

Thanks for the input.

I purposely left as much stuff in the view as possible, as many people are not c# devs. So I wanted to make it obvious to a non-c# dev about how to modify some functionality. At one point I was tempted to leave everything in app_code, but that much code in there made me cringe.

When it comes to dependencies, I don't want to use nuget for the same reason. It's just a bit of a pain right now. Even though I have automated xcopy's of dlls around, I still have to remember to release a patch for what ever extension package I've updated.

I think trackback is a good candidate for an extension package. You had a disqus extension at one point from memory. Would you like to make that a package? Or perhaps add it to uCommentsy, and have it as an option.

I also need to confirm if Live writer still works in uBlogsy. It was working at one point.

Keep the input rolling.

Hi,

a big problems ( I'm a lot of problem with big sites and the customers says that is a big issue and not user experience ) are:

- Tag input: if there are a lot of tags, Utagsy is not usable...You see a long list...better is if it's possible to suggest tag from list like old UBlogsy. Now UTagsy suggest only from inserted tags.

- Issue with "Publish at" function and Lucene: you can read a lot of post on this. If you configure a date to publish or unpublish post, this don't work because Umbraco give an error.

- MVC UBlogsy compatible with U6.2.2

This is the error:  Oops: this document is published but is not in the cache (internal error) 

Biagio, are you any good with javascript/html?... wanna help with utagsy?

Yes, I am. How to solve?

I would just have something like an autocomplete which will take from the list of tags already in the DOM.

Should be relatively simple using the jquery plugin.

There are a lots jquery for autocomplete..so I need to customize UTagsy usercontrol. Do you already have the tags into the div that you hide or unhide?

I already have the tags in an angular repeater list. Just need to wire up autocomplete to what's in this dom element:

<a id="uTagsy-all-tags-toggle" ng-click="showTags($event)">Show/hide all tags</a>
<ul id="uTagsy-tags-all" class="hide" >
<li ng-repeat="tag in allTags" >
<a class="uTagsy_global_tag" rel="{{tag}}" ng-click="addFromAllTags($event)">{{tag}}</a>
</li>
</ul>

is working on a reply...
