I’ve just updated the Big Medium 2 book to reflect the features and changes introduced by today’s release of Big Medium 2.0rc1 “Lost and Found.”

Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide is a comprehensive guide for writers, editors, designers and administrators. It runs about 200 pages. The new edition includes these changes:

• Chapter 9, “Templates”: Edited the “HTML Template Types” section to note that the utility template is also used to handle search results.

• Chapter 10, “Widgets” includes several changes:

  • Added more details to the “What about archives?” sidebar in the Links section.
  • Added entries for the new “add byline line break” and “add description line break” preferences in the Links section.
  • Corrected typo in the CSS selector for styling the <%morelinks%> widget.
  • Added entry for the new “limit overflow pages” preference setting in the widget entry for <%overflow%>.
  • New entry for <%search%> in the “Section Navigation, Search and Tags” section.

• Appendix A, “Installing Big Medium” includes several changes:

  • Updated server requirements to include Perl 5.6.1.
  • Added bm-search.cgi to the list of files to upload to the moxiebin directory.
  • Added caution not to delete the moxiedata/search directory when upgrading to a new version of Big Medium.
  • Added note to the maintenance-script section to explain that the script also manages search indexing.
