Yeah, so much for the upgrade going off without a hitch.<\/p>\n
All appeared to be well until I went to check one of the shorts pages for xhtml validation and it failed — but not because of anything I’d added.<\/p>\n
What\u00a0is failing\u00a0is a new script injection by the underlying content engine that isn’t valid code.\u00a0 Oh, it works — it’s just not valid code in xhtml strict.<\/p>\n
Nobody will notice it from a user side, but it irritates the hell out of me.\u00a0 I spent hours<\/strong> researching and recoding regurgitated code from places like Facebook so the crap would validate and still function properly.<\/p>\n I’ve got a support topic posted on the content creation forum, but that’s always hit and miss.\u00a0 I assume I’m not the only one who gives a shit about proper validation.\u00a0 Somebody has probably figured it out, and I’m not afraid to tinker with default files if necessary ( though\u00a0not having to do that<\/em>\u00a0was part of what I loved about the content creation system in the first place. )\u00a0 The issue is whether any of said people will see the topic on the forum and bother to respond.<\/p>\n I really<\/em> don’t want to have to dig through the distribution files to fix this myself.\u00a0 I don’t have the time for that kind of crap any more :S<\/p>\n It’s not really a bug in the product, so I can’t submit a ticket about it.\u00a0 All I can do is make a suggestion that it be changed in the next update, and that’s even more hit and miss than somebody answering a support topic.<\/p>\n Yeah, I’m a little pissed.\u00a0 Some of the recoding I did to make junk code like the Facebook plugin on the front page work while validating was incredibly annoying, and all that work is essentially down the drain until\/unless I can fix this problem as well.<\/p>\n Paid for an upgrade, and there are some nice features on the backend that I’m pleased with, but it also broke validation in the process.<\/p>\n It really fucking honks me off.<\/p>\n I’ll quit ranting now.\u00a0 Just had to let this vitriol out somewhere \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yeah, so much for the upgrade going off without a hitch.
