Upgrade search to include pages as well as blog posts.
Currently search only searches posts and does not include pages. It would be nice if the built-in search were able to search through both types as most blogs / websites using Mango will be a mix of pages and blog entries.

Change behaviour of email sent by the server
More and more email servers and providers are being locked down with technologies such as SPF, which prevent spoofing of emails.
When Mango sends an email - for example, a contact form - it sets the "from" address as being the address the user has entered. However, many mail providers would block this as the mail server doesn't have the authority to send email from that address.
A simple change to the sendEmail method in mailer.cfc would fix this.
All mail should be sent using the "defaultFromAddress" as the from address. The actual address of the sender should then be… more

custom tags used to get entity properties include extra whitespace (bug)
I've seen this on various occasions and it's incredibly annoying. See also: http://www.mangoblog.org/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=4E8C7BF0-D59B-6E2D-10C719C2444F9397

Auto matic plugin updates
Plugin automatic update notification from admin area. I am not sure such functionality exist or not but I love it.
May be plugin will have update url which return current version and admin periodically check version for plugin.11 votes -
Standalone Pages
It would be nice if we could create a standalone page one that is editable in the admin, but not included in the navigation. Selecting None as the parent makes it a top level page. But I would like to see an option to make it not show up at all unless linked directly to.

Multiple blogs in one instalation.
It would be good if you can add a feature to add multiple blogs in one single instalation. Something simillar to wordpress Mu.
This would be usefull if you would like to offer blog to members of you site.

Improve the Documentation
Improving the documentation would be great. To be quite honest as a new developer trying to add on to Mange blog is pretty hard because of the lack of documentation.
There needs to be documentation outlining all the data that is stored, the order of operations of each page. What each page associates to, A better example of how to write an addon, better example of how to write a theme, ect.

Allow Addons to be Uploaded Differently
The way that is currently used for adding addons (giving it a url) is nice. But that should have been the second or thrid way to add them. We should be able to place the addon in the folder and the blog recognize the addon and add it to the list. Or be able to browse our local computer for the addon and add it to the blog.

Members Area
I would like to see the ability to have members only content within a single installation of mango blog. This means page and posts could be set for members only viewing. Users would have to log in to view the post or page.
It would be nice if this feature could allow templates to decide how content is rendered for members only content. For example, Display nothing, title only, title and teaser.
An off the top idea might be <mango:Posts count="5" members="titleOnly">Ultimately, just having a members section would be a great help.

Allow deleting/pruning of revision history
The new post/page revision history feature is great. However, I find myself making lots of small changes to posts, which can quickly add up to quite a lengthy history!
For instance, I wrote a post today, and just in the process of fine-tuning and publishing it, I racked up 17 revisions!
I propose the ability to remove individual items from the revision history.

add more author controls
-easily assign post to a different author (great for multiple authors but PR firm edits)
-show only certain authors on blog8 votes -
Record statistics for rss
It would be very cool, if built in (or via plugin), there was a way to strore statistics on RSS feeds, like what reader people are using, number of subscribers, how often people update etc
(I'm actually not that up to date on rss statistics).
It's notoriously difficult to track this stuff without resorting to something like feedburner, which would mean I have to change all my RSS feeds on the blog I'm running. It would be great to have it baked in.

adding port number to the setup
If you have your database server running on a different port the setup doesn't work. Changing the setup.cfm to extract the port number from the string "server:port" and adding dsn.port to the addCFdatasource.cfm template will fix this.
<cfif listLen(form.server_new,":") eq 2>
<cfset dsn.port = listLast(form.server_new,":") />
<cfelse>
<cfset dsn.port = listLast(form.server_new,":") />
</cfif>2 votes
