Cool new feature! Works nicely on dynamic Manila sites. However, when
rendered to a static page, the resulting url for the mail page doesn't
refer back to the dyamic site, with a result of a 404.
Gory details of my test are as follows
(also posted on http://www.2020hindsight.org/2001/09/07.html)
Static Mail-this-story test results: NO GO (so far)
I activated the macro on the dynamic site, dusted off a story that's
mostly notes-to-myself about links about Manila News Items, gave it a
relative URL and rendered the static page. The "Send This Story" link
does appear in the bottom of the page, but, when clicked, it results in a
404.
Dynamic site (it works!)
* story url: http://discuss.2020hindsight.org/aboutnewsitems
* mail url: http://discuss.2020hindsight.org/mail/mailStory$2235
Static site (it doesn't completely work)
* story url: http://www.2020hindsight.org/aboutnewsitems.html
* mail story: http://www.2020hindsight.org/mail/mailStory$2235 [404
results]
Somehow Manila doesn't know to write the link to refer back to the
dynamic site, in the same way that a 'discuss' link needs to go back to
the dyamic site.
Hope this helps for fine-tuning!
Cheers,
Susan
