Converting from DominoBlog v3 to IBM Lotus Notes 7.0.2 Blog Template

Apologies I should have done this a while ago - it was such a simple piece of code to write in the end.

Anyway I have attached a zip file containing a notes database with an agent that will do the conversion for you.

Warnings etc
I can accept no responsibility for using this code etc. Please backup before use.

If you have used the template in an advanced way so that you have consulted with me in the past, there can be no guarantees that the database will continue to work as expected (ie undocumented features, feature changes or removed features). Please refer to this document for differences between the old and new templates.

Any problems or if you are unable to put this agent into the design for whatever reason - let me know.

Instructions
Before you upgrade the notes template copy the agent into the DominoBlog v3 database design. Make sure you sign it.

Run the agent by going to "Actions/UpdateBlogTemplateDesign". This will update the HTML templates to the new structure.

Now refresh your database from the new 7.0.2 blog template. Once refreshed goto the configuration document and click "Edit" and then click "Save & Close".

Update finished. Agent runtime should be less than a second.
