A real update! Holy wow. in Site Updates

OK, so I’ve fixed some rather nefarious behavior and added one minor feature…

First, the fix. The book save behavior was not working as it should, particularly for people who like to use different privacy levels in the same book. Whether or not you changed the privacy level of the book, any time you saved any changes to the book (like updating the description), it would reset all of the entries in that book to the default privacy level.

That is now fixed.

Also, when you do change the privacy level of a book and save it, it will only change the privacy level of entries matching the old privacy level. Which I think would be the expected behavior.

So for example, let’s say you have a Friends Only entry and a Private entry inside a Public book. All of the other entries are default Public. You decide you want to go Members Only, so you change it and save the book. Now your book is Members Only, and so are all of the entries that were Public. However, the Friends Only and Private entries remain unaffected.

And the minor enhancement:

There has been no way to put a link to a Youtube video on Prosebox. Dropping in the Youtube URL automatically embeds the video. If you just want the link, you can do this:

<a href="https://YOUTUBE-VIDEO-LINK-HERE" target="_blank">My video!</a>

Notice the target="_blank" part. That’s the magic HTML sauce (and you have to use HTML rather than Markdown).

The result is:

My video!

Kind of a hack, but the best I can come up with based on how the Youtube embed works.

Oh yeah, and people keep asking me about the ads. I turned them back on a while back but I guess I forgot to post an update. I expect there to be a subscription option added this year, but for now the ad revenue is nice. :)
