= Self-contained Blog plugin = == Description == This plugin provides a project Blog, but unlike TracBlogPlugin and SimpleBlogPlugin it does not use Wiki pages to store the content. It has no dependencies on other plugins. This is a ~~preview~~ beta release, only available for an up-to-date 0.11dev. The implemented features should work as expected, but some features are not yet completed. Basic features are: * Create, edit and view blog posts under a new 'Blog' menu. * Browse post by month, category and author + and Archive page for all posts. * Attachments on blog posts. * Comments for blog posts. * Posts and comments in Timeline / RSS. * Search for blog posts and comments. * Admin page for basic settings. * Permissions for `BLOG_VIEW, BLOG_COMMENT, BLOG_MODIFY_OWN, BLOG_MODIFY_ALL, BLOG_ADMIN`. * Support for Trac fine-grained permissions security checks (based on resource / realm). * Special handling of a post named 'about'. * Area in sidebar for information text, blogroll, links and similar. * Link provider, like `[blog:this_is_my_post]` and `[blog:category/trac]` and `[blog:2007/10]`. Some planned features are not yet done: * Diff between version of the post. * Delete post version, delete post and delete comment. * XmlRpcPlugin support. * Some sort of news-listing macro thing that will look nice on a project front page, or as summary for categories and author tags. Not sure yet about the details and what it should look like. Input welcome :-) '''That means:''' * Use in production at your own risk as it is still in beta. * Don't file tickets for tasks that are missing as in 'not implemented' (see list above). * Feedback is most welcome - see [wiki:osimons] to get in touch with me by mail or on the #trac channel. == Screenshots == The plugin in action: * [attachment:fullblog-01.png Post view with commenting] == Bugs/Feature Requests == Existing bugs and feature requests for FullBlogPlugin are [report:9?COMPONENT=FullBlogPlugin here].
