Steel Ribbon?

Replied by Kristin Darken on topic Steel Ribbon?
Yes... well, if it were still an option, we'd have it. It isn't. Without coding an entire module to do it, solving whatever problems with security issues that caused the Joomla team to remove it in the first place, etc... there's no way to reproduce it.
I've fixed the two R&R stories. These weren't the first stories that got moved over with glitches... there are tabs for the 'editor' and 'code' for the text of a story... and the best way to copy the format exactly is to move the stories by code/html. But if you forget to click on the tab to drop it in the code panel and instead just paste it to the editor, you get what you saw there. It's just a matter of grabbing it all and moving it to the right panel on the edit page for the story.
Considering how quickly we moved the stories to the new site, I'm sure there are a number of these sorts of mistakes. We just don't know until someone goes through and looks at all 900+ stories.
As to "Steel Ribbon" ...
I'm not sure why you weren't finding it. But I found the same problem when I looked. However, after I poked around a bit... now it DOES appear. So... I fixed it. Maybe? I'm not sure, but it DOES show up now.
As for finding things in the future, I highly recommend the Multi-filter search tool. You can find it on the "Read" page ... it's the module that has several drop down menu options in one line. for Steel Ribbon, for example, you could set the Author option to Morpheus, the Category to Original Timeline, the Tag option to Ribbon (all stories are tagged with the codename and common use name of their protagonist), and then add the word Steel in to the keywords box. When I did that, it brought up only two options, one of which is "Steel Ribbon".
