Footnotes: multiple entry view
 
Hi Don,

in some scenario a user can decide to display multiple blog entries without truncation and "Read more..." link in the blog view. This causes all the entries along with their respective footnotes to render on one only page. When the reader clicks a footnote link, the javascript code retrieves just the first footnote added with that tag. For example: I have two entries with a footnote each, both tagged as [mp1]. When I hit the second footnote I face again the footnote belonging to the previous entry. An example can be found in my ppersonal blog at http://www.dariorossa.it/Blog/tabid/55/BlogId/1/Default.aspx. Is there already any way to avoid this?

I could just try to remember what number did I give to my last footnote and add a differetnt one, but this would be clumsy. Couldn't it be automatically handled by the metaPost code remembering my last footnote number? Or maybe it would be easier adding the entryID as a trailing number such as [mp1] becoming [mp156], [mp2] becoming [mp256] so that there won't be footnote number overlapping anymore?

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Hi Dario!

Thanks again for catching this issue.  I've uploaded a hotfix to Snowcovered that's available in the patches section which addresses this issue as well as a similar issue with images in a gallery.  It used to be that when multiple posts were visible in a single page clicking the right arrow key would take you through all the images on the page regardless of which post the images belonged to.  The patch now creates distinct galleries for each post so users going through a gallery will end at the last picture for that particular post.

Hi Don,

it's amazing! I can hardly imagine how can things be fixed that quickly and easily there at IT Crossing. I do not regret for rating metaPost PE five stars out of five in my review. I will be installing the new version immediately. Thank you for the fix, keep on with this!

Best regards,
Dario Rossa
