I decided I needed to sort of rush out this update, because as-is Related Entries breaks the post/page entry form validation in Mango 1.3.x. So first, here's your download information:
- Plugin version:
- 1.0
- Last Updated:
- 2009-02-27
- Requires:
- Mango Blog 1.3
- Auto-install URL:
- http://fusiongrokker.com/get/RelatedEntries
First, the bad news. Just like with LogViewer (and upcomming plugin updates), I've decided to change the plugin id, which means you can't install this version over top of the old version. You'll first have to manually de-activate and delete the old version; then you can use the above URL in the auto-installer. I'm sorry! The good news is that none of your old related entries data will be lost. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I promise not to change the ID of this plugin again.
What's changed?
Aside from some file locations and names, not much. Since jQuery is now built into Mango Admin, this plugin's inclusion of the library caused a conflict which prevented form validation from working. So the major change with this version, besides updating it for Mango 1.3.x, is that jQuery isn't included any more. There aren't any functional differences.
When time permits, there are a couple of small bugs that I need to work out, so I hope to have another update in March some time.

This update is entirely thanks to Seb Duggan. He says he made the changes because he wanted to play with the new custom icon support in Mango 1.3… So thanks, Seb!
The new version now has a nice little bug icon, instead of the puzzle piece that all custom links were given in older versions of Mango. Here's updated screenshots with no logs present (left) and some logs (right).
LogViewer version 1.0 (the new version) requires Mango 1.3 or later, so here's a link to download LogViewer 0.3 for older versions of Mango Blog. Or, for the enterprising nerd, you can always pull a previous version out of the SVN Repository…
Although you can still install manually (the old way) if you want, Mango 1.3 now includes auto-install. On the Add-ons page, there is now a tool that will download the zip and install it automatically:
So in the future, look for this box to get the URL for the auto-installer:
- Plugin version:
- 1.0
- Last Updated:
- 2009-02-25
- Requires:
- Mango Blog 1.3
- Auto-install URL:
- http://fusiongrokker.com/get/LogViewer

It recently came up on the Model-Glue mailing list that it's possible to create mappings via code in ColdFusion 7 by dropping down to the underlying Java and using undocumented, unsupported features.
This is not exactly the same as creating per-application mappings as you can do in ColdFusion 8, but instead, you're messing with global mappings. It's still pretty rad!
I figured I would go ahead and blog it for my own future reference, and if it helps anyone else in the process, awesome.
factory = createObject('java','coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory');
mappings = factory.runtimeService.getMappings();
// From here you can add and remove mappings as you please.
// Add a mapping:
mappings["/test"] = "C:\somedirectory";
// Remove a mapping:
structDelete(mappings,"/test");

Mango 1.3 was released yesterday through it's auto-update process. If you are using a version of Mango older than 1.2.x, you probably don't have the auto-updater and will need to manually upgrade. Ignore the fact that that page indicates the latest version is 1.2.4 — if you click the download link you'll get the latest version.
With version 1.3, some significant improvements have been made in the plugin development process. If you have ever developed a Mango plugin, or intend to in the future, I highly recommend you read Seb Duggan's post on the changes. (And this supplementary post…)
I'll probably make a PDF cheat sheet for these and other Mango things soon, so that I have something I can print out and keep in a handy place (with my jQuery and Model Glue cheat sheets, of course!). I'll be sure to share that with you here.
You can also expect new versions of all of my plugins to make use of the updates; coming soon!
