wiki:FullBlogPlugin

Version 14 (modified by osimons, 16 years ago) (diff)

Added notice to use Trac trunk for the FullBlogPlugin.

Self-contained Blog plugin

Note: This plugin uses a Trac feature added after 0.11b1 - you need to install Trac from trunk to use it.

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 beta production-ready release, available for an up-to-date 0.11dev. The implemented features should work as expected.

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 and informational text in sidebar.
  • 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].
  • Delete post version, delete post and delete comment.
  • A tags provider for TagsPlugin if plugin is available.
  • A [[BlogList]] news-listing macro with various display modes for pulling blog posts into the wiki.
  • Change listener and manipulator APIs for hooking on to changes.
    • Spamfilter implementation included - thanks to athomas, ([3106] - forgot commit message...)
    • Sample plugin provided illustrating how to use the hooks.

Some planned features are not yet done:

Feedback is most welcome - see osimons to get in touch with me by mail or on the #trac channel.
