1) Installation
|
|
===============
|
|
The installation of Blogthon assumes that your httpd 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 3 files into your www directory:
|
|
|
|
* blogthon.cgi
|
|
* styles
|
|
* .htaccess (optional, but security relevant)
|
|
|
|
Then create 3 directories and 1 empty file:
|
|
|
|
* entries/
|
|
* static/
|
|
* plugins/
|
|
* linklist
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to disable comments, you have to change the permissions of
|
|
entries/ to 777.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.1) Apache
|
|
===========
|
|
To enable CGI you just have to run 'a2enmod cgi' as root. Now put something
|
|
like this in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
|
|
|
|
<Directory /this/is/where/your/www/root/is/>
|
|
Options +ExecCGI
|
|
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
|
|
DirectoryIndex blogthon.cgi
|
|
</Directory>
|
|
|
|
To finish the installation, reload Apache with
|
|
'/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload' as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2) Lighttpd
|
|
=============
|
|
First you have to enable cgi support for lighttp 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:
|
|
|
|
$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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Entries
|
|
==========
|
|
To start blogging you just have to open your favorite editor, write your entry
|
|
and save it under entries/. The filename should be like this:
|
|
(entry title).(suffix)
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) 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'.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
extern_link: http://your/link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Linklist
|
|
===========
|
|
To add a link to your linklist, just add a line to the linklist file:
|
|
|
|
http://some/link name of your link
|
|
|
|
Of course you can use empty lines to split different sorts of links.
