I have looked at running it under twisted and other frameworks as well. You're correct that the coupling to webware is very loose and it should be possible to run it in another environment fairly easily. At one point my plan was to use something else to host it in the hope that I could simplify installation some by removing the dependency on Webware. I forget the name of the framework I was going to use, but it was very light and I would have just included it with Syncato.

Hello, has anyone looked at hosting Syncato in the twisted framework? Am I right in thinking that just re-writing the servlety things or even better making some sort of twisted adapter will do the trick? are the any other dependancies that I've missed? mark |

The rest of it is untouched save for a couple of nits that I fixed. Also, config.xml in the tree should probably be changed to set <category-root-element> correctly for this to work from a checkout. This is not well tested at all and it's not likely to get a lot of testing by me but it allows me to do what I wanted with NetNewsWire which is create a new posting with categories. The weblog in NNW needs to be configured as a Movable Type system. I'll be happy to fix any bugs in this but as I said, I'm not likely to find them myself. Not related to the syncato implementation, it's kind of an unpleasant little protocol. Not very flexible and a lot of overhead for not much gain over GET/POST and friends. I guess the gain comes from it being in fairly widespread use. Still. |

I don't have any uncommitted changes to it. Darryl might as all recent changes to that code have been his. I don't use the API, but when I was developing it originally I had trouble with NetNewsWire. Darryl got it working with his client, but NetnewsWire still had problems and I've never gotten around to fixing them as I don't use NetNewsWire anymore. If you can fix it, feel free to submit a patch.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there has been work on the MetaWeblog API that has not made it into CVS. My checkout from the head of the tree has a config.xml containing: <category-root-element>category</category-root-element> This seems only to be used in MetaWeblog.py but that file also has a couple of hardcoded references to a category element. It seems this is not in sync with the rest of the code which uses category-def. Also, I was playing around with this using NetNewsWire and it calls metaWeblog.newPost() followed by a call to mt.setPostCategories(), which does not appear to be implemented. Is there some issue with implementing this or there just hasn't been a need for it? Thanks in advance, Garth |

It seems to work well enough for aggregators but seems to not work correctly with multiple reloads with a browser. What i'm doing is a md5 digest of the result of a GET request. So in order to get maximum mileage you have to minimize the dynamic content in the stylesheets. For example the default rss20 template always supplies the current date.

Just a quick heads up. In the next release the URL query syntax is going to change. I decided to just give in and move the query into a parameter instead of overloading the extra pathinfo. So a URL query like /WK/blog/item[title="some title"] will now have to be expressed as /WK/blog?q=/item[title="some title"]. This will also solve the problem with // queries. Also, in the next release the /blog portion of the URL will represent the database to use rather then something that is defined in the webware configuration.

Anyone got any cool xsl stylsheets for syncato that they'd like to share? I was thinking that it would be nice to put together a collection of stylesheets that people have created for syncato that are not part of the distribution. This is mostly so I can steal your ideas as I'm sure there must be some interesting applications of xslt out there. I don't really have anything to contribute at the moment but I've been trying to get up to speed so I can try a couple of things. I'd like to try to hack together something to add/delete categories from the admin interface. Also, is there currently a way to present query results in a category-like list? I've just copied/modified category.xsl to results-list.xsl but I thought that I might be missing an existing way to do this. Just basic stuff, really, but it seems like it wouldn't be a stretch to do basic calendaring or todo lists, etc. Garth |

Syncato rocks! It seems to me that with a little imagination it could be used for all kinds of cool stuff, all with virtually no changes to the code base. I'm new to XML for the most part and definitely new to things like xslt, but I can see what the hype is about.

I've written a little startup script to start/stop all or some named syncato instances and I'm on a dual processor machine so having them in separate processes probably isn't the worst thing in the world. Once the multi-database changes land, perhaps I'll run it in a context of an existing webware and just have one instance for everything. Until then, I'm happy. I ran into a few things here and there that caused some installation headaches that maybe could be cleaned up in future releases. I'm willing to lend a hand where possible, though my free time is likely to get sporadic too, now that I have an unplanned job. The good thing is that I'll be working with XML so perhaps I'll be able to contribute more once I get up to speed. The biggest problem that I ran into was the xerces-2.5.0 ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException with dbxml-1.2.1. I beat my head against this for a while before finding reference to it on the mailing list. A brief mention of this in the README might save others some trouble. Other than that, most issues were related to having multiple bloggers so I'll save those for later. Thanks again for a great piece of software. Garth BTW, my blog, such as it is, can be found at http://www.abode.com/gcorral/blog. Not much there at the moment but... |

Hi all, I'm brand new to this list so I thought I'd introduce myself. I also have a bunch of questions but I'll try to break them up into several smaller emails. First let me say thanks for all the effort on Syncato. I've only been playing with it for a short while but it seems pretty cool so far. I started looking at webware recently and wanted to find a somewhat large application to use as an example. After searching for a while, I didn't find anything suitable so I decided I would just poke at it over time to see what I could discover. It was shortly afterward that my wife started to inquire about the possibility of installing some software so that she could start a blog. I thought that maybe I'd like to give blogging a try too and... Here I am. It was a nice surprise to find that it used webware but, being new to both things I was a little confused by the installation of Syncato. I thought that the install would be within my existing webware webapp heirarchy and perhaps run within a context of that installation. As I've said, I don't completely understand deployment of webware apps. What I gather, though is that people are plopping the entire Syncato tree somewhere and running a separate webware instance. Does that sound about right? Also, from what I can see, there is no mult-user (blogger) support per se. I've managed to run two separate webware instances each running syncato and talking to apache/mod_webkit on different ports with differenct base URLs. Am I missing something? Is this the way to have multiple blogs on a single server. It seems to be working fine so far. Anyway, I'll have more questions as I get into this a bit more but thanks in advance for any help.

As far as i know he's still very deeply involved in a new venture and has not been very active developing syncato of late. So i'll leave off commenting until hopefuly he replies. It's great to see that you guys have plans for syncato! -darryl -- http://randomthoughts.vandorp.ca/WK/blog |

I'm sure that this is not your mistake - but its always checking everything - all the instructions give the WK as being in capitals wheras your URL has a small WK.... mark -----Original Message----- From: syn...@li...

Subject: [Syncato-general] 404 Error I've installed syncato and the necessary dependencies (using syncatomatic) and edited all the config files, but when I try to take a look at it Webware gives me a 404 page (it's at http://fungoid.dyndns.org/~temp/wk/blog/ ). I'm guessing that I'm missing something fairly simple, but I'm not sure where to start looking for the problem. Is it just a matter of needing to add content? (if so, how do I go about that?) The 'admin' context gives the same error. Thanks - I'm really looking forward to playing around with syncato. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.

Even when you have no content you get the default pages etc. So in answer to your question look at the webware end of things. -darryl -- http://randomthoughts.vandorp.ca/WK/blog |
