Less Broken Than You Think

[Less Broken Than You Think]

It is finally time, the extension a lot of you guys have waited for is here!

Reblog Display Options allows the customization of of reblog chains on your dashboard, for example removing the icons, the usernames or minimizing spacing between text and name. It also allows you to change back your dashboard to the old style of blockquotes, if you so desire.

NOTE: You may have to refresh the page after changing options in this extension. Make sure you have removed all other dashboard modification scripts before using the extension.

It should be available in your extension gallery by now, so go grab it from there!

Under the read more you can see a few examples of the extension.

New XKit 7.7.1 Release (Firefox Users Must Manually Upgrade) – Solves “Can’t Connect To Server” Popup Issue

We have a fix for the “Can’t Connect to Server” popup issue!

In order to completely disconnect from the now-expired Old XKit servers, we have released an update to the core XKit code, making this New XKit 7.7.1!

Chrome Users: You don’t have to do anything! The Chrome store should automatically update you to 7.7.1, although you can use these instructions to manually force your extensions to update.

Firefox Users: Due to our extension being unsigned by the Firefox store (we’re in the signing queue but haven’t been processed yet) you will have to manually update your extension rather than getting an automatic update. You can do this by visiting http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/firefox and clicking the “Add to Firefox” button; the updated core code will install over the old core code, without changing any of your XKit extension data.

If you have XKit version 7.5.x or below: You have old XKit! Visit http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/chrome or http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/firefox to install New XKit instead (and be sure to uninstall the old version to prevent conflicts).

If you have any questions or encounter any issues, feel free to let us know in our support chat or bug list.

okay we’re back

thanks for sticking with us!

tumblr code is hard and frustrating and unfortunately neither of the people testing it tend to use the HTML editor by default. thanks for putting up with our flubs while we try to keep your posts sane <3

anyway, both the Rich Text and HTML editors are now in tip-top condition. make sure that you’re on Editable Reblogs 2.1.2. versions before that will not work properly.

you can update Editable Reblogs early (before it gets updated automatically by XKit) in the XKit menu.

as always, let us know if you have any issues: either in our support chat or on github.

Fixing Missing Posts

[new-xkit-extension]

Editable Reblogs v2.1.0 has just been released. This should resolve the issues mentioned in our previous post regarding Tumblr parsing changes which rendered ER posts invisible on the dash because it did not recognize the text as representing reblogs.

This update should resolve issues for anyone using the Rich Text editor or HTML editor as their default. In other words it should no longer require any manual changes by the user and you should just be able to hit the post button as normal. As always, if you’re having problems come to our live chat or stop by our askbox or github issues page

After updating to the new extension, you can also fix your old posts. First, find the post on your posts page, then click the edit button. Finally, confirm that the post looks correct and press submit. The post should automatically update to display correctly. If it doesn’t, drop us a line.

Happy Tumbling!

(Side note, there’s a small catch to all of this: Those using the Markdown editor will currently have problems using Editable Reblogs for now, although we hope to resolve this soon. In the meantime, switch to using the Rich Text or HTML editor by default)

EDIT: Should be deployed now, sorry everyone. These changes can be found in version 2.1.0 of Editable Reblogs—make sure you’re on that version before reporting any issues.

[new-xkit-extension]

okay we’re super sorry, but it looks like we pushed out HTML editor support before it was done, and we’re going to have to roll it back for now until we can get all the bugs worked out.

If you’re having problems such as your post content being replaced by “<p><br></p>” or other weirdness, please try switching your default editor. 

As always, thanks for your patience while we try to sort this stuff out.

Issues Updating Firefox to Latest Version of Editable Reblogs

Just as a heads-up – we are experiencing reports of people having trouble force-updating to the most recent version of Editable Reblogs (and possibly other extensions) in Firefox. We’re still trying to nail down what would cause this and will hopefully have a fix soon.

To be clear: if you have version 2.0.0 or newer, you’re fine. This is for people who are still stuck on 1.0.9. If you’re not sure, try updating all of your extensions from the XKit Menu (under “Other”) before doing anything else—you just may not have gotten the update yet.

In the meantime – updating definitely works on Chrome, and some people have had luck with a full uninstall and reinstall of XKit from their browsers to bring things up to date. (You can find a guide for saving your settings to XCloud at http://new-xkit-extension.tumblr.com/post/126630096169/how-the-fuck-do-i-use-xcloud-a-troubleshooting).

We will update further on this situation when we know more.

Thanks!

(Additionally, if you are on 2.0.0., please make sure that you uninstall the temporary greasemonkey script that was floating around—I have no idea how they’re going to interact)
