Phil wrote, "No arrays in UserTalk?" We have arrays. We call them lists. Here's a list of integers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} You can add lists together if you want: {1, 2, 3} + {4, 5} == {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} You can reference them by index: local (aList = {1, 2, 3}); aList[2] = 4; After running the above, aList will contain {1, 4, 3}. You can also mix types: {1, "two", 0x03} And you can nest lists: nestedList = {1, 2, {3.0, 3.5}, 4} In the above example, nestedList[2][1] has a value of 3.0. 9:13:35 PM

Gartk Kidd: "I used to be phytoplankton. Now I'm either big phytoplankton, or krill. Either way, I'm whale-food. :)" Garth: Brent has written up a bunch of tips for Frontier developers, most of which apply to Radio as well. This one in particular may be of use to you. 12:03:26 AM

David Davies asked me earlier today, how to get the path to a local file, given the URL for its upstreamed and rendered version. Here's a code-snippet that does it: local (weblogurl = radio.weblog.getUrl ()); local (relpath = string.delete (url, 1, sizeOf (weblogurl))); local (f = radio.file.getAbsolutePath (relpath)); That will work fine for an image file, but if you need the path to a rendered file. If you need to convert an .html url back to the correct filepath. Add this extra step: radio.file.locateFileIgnoringExtension (f, @f); 1:51:46 AM

At Dave's request, I started a new category for documenting my ongoing Radio development work. It's rendered in HTML here, and you can subscribe to it by clicking this link. 10:07:35 PM

New Radio 8 feature. Now you can post to categories without posting to the home page. If you have categories enabled, there's a new checkbox, the first one, called Home Page (it effectively becomes a category). By default it's checked. Now you can easily publish multiple weblogs, going to lots of different locations, from one edit box. Screen shot. [Scripting News] 4:16:04 PM

Garth wants to know if it's still possible to open a Manila site in the outliner in Radio 8.0. It is. Bring the Radio application to the front, and choose File->Open Manila Site, and then type your Manila site's URL. 11:07:29 PM
