Here are issues discovered with Hybrid News running under MT 4.32:
- The Bio author custom field is not registered properly by the plugin. Adding an Author Bio results in a MT error. When the Bio custom field is viewed in the UI, the system object type is blank. Fix is to remove the Bio custom field set by the plugin and re-add it using the MT UI.
- The Theme Options are stored in the data base as Hybrid News Plugin data. The options are stored in the data base under mt_plugindata table but the plugindata_key is missing the Blog ID. !Important. (Note: see entry Example ... with screen shot of data base entries)
- This test always fails in Entry Summary: <mt:ifnonempty tag="EntryFeaturedImage">
- In the Entry Archive, The user_pic has a broken link to Profile View but the necessary setup to link to a "Profile View" page is not included in the header. Profile View is geared to the "Community" template sets. The variable "profile_view_url" was added to the HTML Head to fix the broken link: <mt:SetVarBlock name="profile_view_url">#</mt:SetVarBlock>)
- Various little glitches in the css. I added custom css developed for MT 4.25 test.

Upgraded Configuration Assistant last night to version 1.6.1 (latest release) and it fixed the Theme Options database problem. Not sure if the Bio custom field problem was fixed. Will continue testing.
