[pyblosxom-users] comments plugin

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

Guys, I'm fighting with the comments plugin and have some questions:

* who still has a copy of magicwords.py? the reference to it has been 
  removed from git 2 years ago, and i can't find the plugin anywhere
  online.
  http://gitorious.org/pyblosxom/pyblosxom-web/commit/20c41ad28f2c42b5cdb3ad34eb46fbb386bbd507
  preferrably a recent version, i'm running (trying to) PB 1.5
* can I prohibit users from using the nickname 'Dieter_be', my full
  name, a hostname on my domain, etc in the name/url/e-mail fields?
* can users use a title in their comment? I see there is a title
  field, which is used as some kind of spam prevention (it holds the
  title of the entry), but it seems silly (redundant and useless) to
  store this in the actual xml of the comment
* does anyone have code for working threaded (nested) comments? i.e.
  the ability to reply to a specific comment and render comments as
  such.

* is it possible to show "validition warnings" when a comment is not
  accepted?  when i try to make comments and i "forget" a field like
  'Name', the comment will be silently dropped, forcing me to fill in
  everything again, and hoping it's better the n+1th try.
  i would expect the new page contains all my text but error messages
  for the appropriate fields.  Also, fieldnames in bold for mandatory
  stuff would be useful. (although i can easily just hack that in the
  template)

Re: [pyblosxom-users] categories vs tags

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

Tags are not part of PyBlosxom core.  The only way to get tags
functionality is with one of the various tags plugins out there.  I use
the one I wrote which is in git master.  Categories are part of
PyBlosxom core.

Since tags are implemented as a plugin, you can add additional
functionality to the plugin to get what you're looking for.  It
definitely doesn't do any of the things you're asking about currently.

On my blog, I use categories and tags.  Tags for user navigation and
categories for loosely breaking up all the entries in my blog into
smaller sub-directories on the file-system.

[pyblosxom-users] categories vs tags

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

The way I see it, tags have only advantages over categories.
So once you use tags, what use is there still for categories?
Is there anything that you can do with categories, but you can't with
tags?

one thing i'm especially interested in: how useful are both tags and
categories for splitting up contents, even in rss feeds?

let me clarify.
suppose i have a blog about real life, technical stuff, and linux.

with categories, i could create a structure like:
/
/life
/tech
/tech/linux

with tags, i could have tag 'life', 'tech' and 'linux'

Suppose i would do a post about a linux conference, with
categories, that's both '/life' and '/tech/linux', but i can only pick
one; but if i use tags I can use both 'linux' and 'life'

But anyway, my real question is: is it possible to give people rss
feeds for specific parts of the site? for categories: a /life feed, and
a /tech feed, for tags a feed for the 'life' tag and a feed for
"any tag minus life"?
I assume the latter is not possible, which is exactly why there is
still a use for categories?

Furthermore, it would be cool (and useful) if anyone could
request a url like <baseurl>/rss20/!life/!bsd/music; which would feed
all entries except the ones who have tag 'life' or 'bsd', unless they
have the 'music' tag.

Another thing, it could be useful to incorporate category-functionality
into tags so that if i tag something as 'tech/linux' it will also show
up when i list everything with tag 'tech'

[pyblosxom-users] Can pyblosxom do modular privacy with OpenID, sub-blogs, RSS customization and multilingual support?

[Alexandre S. <cym...@vo...>]

I'm considering which software to use for a blog that I would like to
install in a personal home server (synology), and I was wondering
whether pyblosxom could fit my needs. Here are my requirements:

- Language management: I'll be writing in different languages, and
some entries would be translated in different languages, not always
the same. Blog readers should be able to select which languages they
can/wish to read. For instance, if they chose English, then all
entries which have English translation would appear in English, the
remaining appearing in whatever language they were written, or not at
all. Perhaps this could be implemented as some CSS option or
javascript?

- RSS customization: the blog will broach different subjects. I would
like the users to be able to customize a RSS syndication which
corresponds to their interests, so that the signal to noise ratio in
their RSS readers remains bearable. This should probably work with a
"Categoriy" or "Tag" system. Does any pybloxsom user have an idea on
how that could be implemented using this engine?

- sub-blogs: I would like to have sub-blogs with their own url, which
would present a subset of the blog entries. For instance my blog could
deal with politics, sports, and myLife, and I could produce the
following blog urls: blog.mydomain.tld (shows everything),
opinions.mydomain.tld (shows only the politics related posts),
sports.mydomain.tld (all entries dedicated to sports). I would also
like to theme differently those sub-blogs (i.e. a ball picture for
sports.mydomain.tld, etc).

- modular privacy + OpenID: my intended audience is heterogeneous
(family, sets of friends, the internet), and I would like to be able
to limit access to certain entries to different subsets of users. To
me, the most obvious way to do this would be to define users with a
login and password. I would then pool them into groups, and define for
each entry if it is private, and if so which groups can read it. I do
not necessarily want to share the same things between my neighbors and
my school friends.

That also brings the issue of RSS syndication: either each user would
have its how RSS thread, or then RSS could be category specific and
the private entries would appear without content. Perhaps other
possibilities exist.

One way to implement modular privacy could be based on OpenID. I like
the Stack Overflow login system (check this screen capture of it:
http://nsa20.casimages.com/img/2010/12/19/101219101041560868.png),
because most readers already have an OpenID, and in any case do not
need to create a specific one for my blog.

So ideally my pyblosxom configuration should be hable to get OpenIDs,
pool them into sets of users, and and output filtered entries
depending on which group does the openid belong to.

Do the pyblosxom users think this set of requirements could be
satisfied with pyblsxom and its plugins, or at least with reasonnable
amounts of tweaking (I do not have the time or expertise to generate
an completely new blogging platform).

Oh man, i feel silly.
I knew I got it working before, so I had been doing some git
bisect sessions to find where it went wrong, without result.
Turned out it went wrong when I made the typo in my deployment script in
git. (the working version of the config itself was never committed
because that's just mere output of my deploy script)

Re: [pyblosxom-users] base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

I've now hardcoded my baseurl:

$ grep base_url /srv/http/dieterblog/config.py
base_url = "http://localhost"

However this does not solve the problem.
Like before, I tried disabling all plugins (and restarting lighty), to
no avail. My entire blog source code can be found at

Re: [pyblosxom-users] showing source code in blog posts

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

First version of my plugin is done.
Some rough edges, a day of swearing and cursing, but it's working.
https://github.com/Dieterbe/dieterblog/blob/master/plugins/syntaxhighlight.py

Dieter

Re: [pyblosxom-users] showing source code in blog posts

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

Will figured out why my plugin didn't work.
I called it plugins/pygments.py which conflicts with the real pygments
package on my system.
I renamed it and now it works fine.

There is more info @
http://pyblosxom.bluesock.org/1.5/dev_writing_plugins.html#name

Now on to making it actually highlight source code \o/
Stay tuned.

Re: [pyblosxom-users] base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

I use a fastcgi wsgi script, ran by Lighttpd.
The script and the lighty config are in my previous mail, not sure what
else you want to know?
So if I understand what you're saying, the SCRIPT_NAME in the
environment is incorrect.

I think I might be hitting the following issue:

Re: [pyblosxom-users] base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

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

SCRIPT_NAME is an environment variable that comes from whatever
environment you're running PyBlosxom in.  It shouldn't be the full
path--it should be the path from which the script was executed.  It's a
pretty standard CGI variable.

How does your environment build the SCRIPT_NAME variable?

Regardless, the documentation encourages you to set the base_url in your
config.py file if it's not getting generated correctly for your
situation.  I set it in my config.py file because I use mod_rewrite for
url rewriting.

[pyblosxom-users] base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

Hi,
I'm using the latest 1.5 code from git

my flavours/html.flav/head contains:

<a href="$(base_url)/">$(blog_title)</a>

When I go to http://localhost/ this works fine: I see my blog with all
entries, but then, I click a link to see an individual entry, say
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html

this page shows fine, i see the entry i wanted to see,
but the $base_url is now the current page +'/', so the link to take me
home points to http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/
which, btw, shows the home page
So I can go to http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/, and
click on any entry to see it, say:
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/arch_linux_interview_and_uzbl_article.html
when I'm there, the $base_url is again
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/

To be sure, i disabled all plugins (and restarted the webserver) but
the issue stays the same.


Another thing, which is probably related: if i have enabled the tags
plugin (took the latest one from git)
and I am at http://localhost, then click on a tag-link, say:
http://localhost/tag/foss
it says:
"The page you are looking for is not available
Somehow I cannot find the page you want." and $base_url is now
http://localhost/tag/

I know I can define $base_url in config.py, but I don't see why that
should be needed, since my webserver does not do anything fancy like
url rewriting, pyblosxom should be able to get the correct base_url by
itself right?

so I checked the code, more specifically class PyBlosxom ,
function initialize(), where I see SCRIPT_NAME from the http
environment is stored in the base_url.

And SCRIPT_NAME, when visiting
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html
is:
/back_from_canada_archcon.html/

Is this normal? I couldn't immediately figure out what the SCRIPT_NAME
is supposed to be. Is this a bug with my webserver or my setup? (I use
lighttpd 1.4.28, my config is at http://sprunge.us/JCCO, the fastcgi
script is at
http://github.com/Dieterbe/dieterblog/blob/manageable/fcgi.py)

Thanks,
Dieter

Seems wrong by design to me.  They even mention it themselves (at
http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/installation.html)
If you want the code to be shown instead of interpreted, you must do
all the escaping yourself, and then still rss readers will not apply
the hilighting ("<pre> method").  The alternative "<script>" method
allows you to not escape the html yourself, but will break horribly
without support for js (i.e. in rss readers)

Thanks, although I don't use markdown (nor RST), your plugin seems
simple enough to try using as a starting point.
Although i still don't get why my own plugin doesn't affect the text..

My Python Markdown 2 plugin can do source code highlighting if you have
python pygments. It's another plugin that isn't in the plugin registry:

http://github.com/seanh/PyBlosxom-Python-Markdown-2-Plugin

See the Python Markdown 2 instructions for how to use source code
highlighting:

http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/CodeHilite

You will have to edit line 35 of markdown-plugin.py to enable the
codehilite extension.

My metadate plugin does exactly that:

http://github.com/seanh/PyBlosxom-metadate

I did ask for it to be put in the plugin registry ages ago. Looking at
the code now, I do wonder if there is a shorter way to implement it,
without all that code for parsing entry files (which obviously
duplicates code that exists somewhere in pyblosxom itself).

Re: [pyblosxom-users] showing source code in blog posts

I just started using SyntaxHighlighter.  It works super for me and my
needs, plus it was a couple of easy changes to my html flavour's head
template.

I'd love to add helper tips like this to the documentation somehow.
Would it be good to add a FAQ section to the manual?  Or should these
kinds of configuration tips be sprinkled in appropriate sections?

I have a blog posting on that here:

it assumes you're writing restructured text, but you could start from there for other dialects.

That would be convenient.  It's probably easily done by looping through 
entrylist at some point and comparing the current time to the post's time. 
If the post's time is later than the current time, remove it from entrylist.

I'm not sure which cb_xxxxx would be best suited for this.  I would think it 
should be done in a function that actually returns entrylist.  cb_sortlist 
would probably work nicely.  I'd add the check right before entrylist is 
reconstructed from entrylist2 in my plugin.

hmmm.. okay.
anyway, just tried your plugin, and it seems to works nicely.
What would be pretty cool, is if the pubdate is in the future, don't
show the story.  this would allow me to time precisely when i want to
publish a story at some point in the future.
