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 relase, 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.
• Comments for blog posts.
• 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.
• Special handling of a post named 'about'.
• Area in sidebar for information text, blogroll, links and similar.

Some features will not be completed before ongoing Trac context refactoring and timeline API changes are nearing completion:

• Attachments on blog posts.
• Posts and comments in timeline.
• Diff between version of the post.
• Delete post version, delete post and delete comment.
• Fine-grained permissions - currently only 0.10 style permissions are implemented as there is no context/resource system implemented.
• XmlRpcPlugin support.

That means:

• Use in production at your own risk as it is still a 'preview'.
• 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.
