    Hi,
    I really like your plugin. It is something I have been doing by hand for a long time – someone writes the blip journal entry and I make a website post from it for https://www.wellsforzoe.org!

    I have a couple of requests regarding date and one associated with the image title:

    Would it be possible for the imported post to have the date at the top of the content? It is important for consistency on the website.

    When a journal entry is imported as a draft the date the resulting post is the same as the blip entry but when that post is published this date is changed to the time and date of publishing. Would it be possible to make this publishing date the blipfoto journal entry date as well?

    Lastly, would it be possible to make the title of the imported image the same as the title of the post/entry as opposed to the blipfoto allocated numerical title?

    I look forward to following the developments of this very useful and potentially extremely time-saving plugin.

    Hi éamonn

    This plugin does not handle any of the displaying of data (such as the date), you will need to amend your theme to display the date in the position required.

    You were right about the incorrect post date when publishing, that is indeed a bug. I’ve fixed it in version 1.2, please confirm to me that the issue is fixed after you upgrade.

    Version 1.2 also sets the image title to match the entry title.

    Please note that both these changes will only apply to entries that you import from now on, they cannot be applied retrospectively (unless you delete all the posts and media, then re-import).

    All the best
    Simon

    Thanks,

    I thought you might be able to add the date of the post to the content imported so that the generated post’s content includes the date at the top – nothing to do with the theme really. No problem if this is not possible – I will have the blipper put that date at the top of each blip instead.

    The date issue is indeed fixed but includes a generic time of 00:00 instead of original which is fine.

    The image title does now match the entry title, thanks.

    I dumped the drafts and started again only keeping those I had hand amended and published.

    There are still a few issues but I will start a new thread for them.

    Thanks,
    éamonn
