Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
The installation of Blogthon assumes that your webserver supports CGI and Python
|
|
is installed. If all this is given, you can download Blogthon in a directory of
|
|
your choice. After that you have to symlink the following files/directories into
|
|
your webroot:
|
|
|
|
* blogthon.cgi
|
|
* styles
|
|
* .htaccess (Apache)
|
|
* error.css
|
|
|
|
Then create 3 directories and 1 empty file:
|
|
|
|
* entries/
|
|
* static/
|
|
* plugins/
|
|
* linklist
|
|
|
|
Your webserver needs write access to the entries directory:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
$ chmod 777 entries
|
|
|
|
Now copy the example configuration into your www directory, or to
|
|
../blogthonrc or ../.blogthonrc.
|
|
|
|
If all this is done, you can continue with setting up your httpd.
|
|
|
|
Apache
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
To enable CGI you just have to run "a2enmod cgi" as root. In some cases you have
|
|
to allow .htaccess for Apache:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
<Directory "/path/to/your/webroot/">
|
|
AllowOverride all
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
|
|
To finish the installation, reload Apache with
|
|
"/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload" as root.
|
|
|
|
Lighttpd
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
First you have to enable cgi support for lighttpd by running "lighty-enable-mod
|
|
cgi" as root. Now create a new config in /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/ named
|
|
50-blogthon.conf or something similar with this content:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
$HTTP["host"] == "YourBlogURL" {
|
|
cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/python" )
|
|
index-file.names = ( "blogthon.cgi" )
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Enable this config by runnung "lighty-enable-mod blogthon" and restart lighttpd
|
|
with "/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart" as root.
|
|
|
|
Using Blogthon
|
|
--------------
|
|
To start blogging you just have to open your favorite editor, write your entry
|
|
and save it under entries/:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
vim entries/Title.txt
|
|
|
|
The suffix can be set in your configuration file. Default is ".txt".
|
|
|
|
While parsing an entry, blogthon places a <br /> behind each line, except for
|
|
lines with <ul>, <li>, <table>, etc... So you don't need to make your own
|
|
layout using <br /> tags. Aside from that you can certainly use <p> elements
|
|
and all other HTML tags.
|
|
|
|
Staticpages
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Staticpages are placed under static/ without a suffix. To sort them, you can
|
|
start the filename with a literal and -. So "01-Foo" will be placed before
|
|
"02-Bar":
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
vim static/02-Bar
|
|
|
|
If you want to make a staticpage to be a link to an extern page, you just have
|
|
to place the following content in the first line:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
extern_link: http://your/link
|
|
|
|
Comments
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
Comments are saved under entries/ like all entries, but with the suffix
|
|
".comments". The syntax in this file is like this:
|
|
|
|
-.Nickname
|
|
+.Date
|
|
.some text
|
|
.more text
|
|
|
|
Linklist
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
To add a link to your linklist, just add a line to the linklist file:
|
|
[source,sh]
|
|
http://some/link Name of your link
|
|
|
|
Of course you can use empty lines to split different sorts of links.
