wiki:FullBlogPlugin

Version 11 (modified by osimons, 16 years ago) (diff)

Putting tags provider on to-do list.

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 :-)
  • Add a tags provider for TagsPlugin if plugin is available.

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 osimons to get in touch with me by mail or on the #trac channel.
