Re: [pyblosxom-users] A tumblelog plugin for PyBlosxom

[will kahn-g. <wi...@bl...>]

I've been thinking about this very issue for a while.  I think in this 
case, it's unlikely that the data can't be made public (e.g. passwords 
should never show up on the site), so I'd have your plugin return a 
title/body dict and either request an error template or use the story 
template.

That way if the user checks his/her blog, he/she will see the error and 
can fix the problem.

My guess is that it's more likely the user will check his/her blog after 
posting than would check the pyblosxom log.

It's probably a few lines of code to build an error entry or to log 
something to the log...  You could make it configurable.

That's off the top of my head.  I'd be interested in hearing other 
peoples' thoughts.  It'd probably be something useful for the "writing a 
plugin" part of the manual.
