Hey Guys,
Ok so now that i've completed my first plugin i'm not moving on to developing a blog system to insert into GetSimple.
So the first thing i need is a spec for it's use.
The following items are items i consider to be required in the creation of the plugin, please provide any feedback on my ideas or additional features you would like to see.
BLOG
A blog should have the following:
- Post Title
- Creation Date
- Last Updated Date
- Blog Content
- Post author (or allow default author)
CATEGORIES
A blog should allow posts to be categorised.
- Category Name
- Category Description
- Category Creation Date
ADMIN SECTION
- Post Creation/Edits/Delete
- Allow the selection of uploaded files to be included in posts from 'files' section (version 2.0)
- Category Edits / Delete
ADMIN SECTION - Configuration
- Blog Name (if diff to site)
- Full length or short length posts on front page
- Length of short length posts if selected
- Allow comments
COMMENTS
This is an area i have question over due to the spam issue, yes comments are a required part of a blog yes?
Comments have:
- Title
- Text
- Author
- Date
Optional elements:
- Filter all HTML
- Add captcha
EXTRAS
- Add automatic 'lightbox' effect to images within posts
- RSS feed of posts generated on add/edit
Give me some feedback people! i wanna hear what you think The thing to remember here, is this is a CMS not a blog system. The blog is an add-on. It's not to be used as a wordpress replacement (yet )

Nothing is too difficult... anything is possible.
