BlogSphere - Feature Request: Have both DBLookup and DbColumn block types


The recently added DBLookup block feature actually does @DbColumn calls. If it allowed the blog owner to enter a key value in the block definition, it could do @DBLookup calls instead, which would mean that the source application would need fewer views.

A cool example of a use of this would be to use the BlogSphere database itself as the data source, using the Lookups\Story Category view. A category name would be the key for the @DbLookup, and column two would be returned. The result would be a block that lists all the posts in a given category. E.g., one could have a "Tips" category whose article titles would be displayed in a block.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
