Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-02

Hey,

I made a very small and clean object orientated plugin for get-simple Smile

its just for a small blog/news page and its called really easy in your theme with mini_blog();

I know there is a couple of similar plugins already but they werent to my liking and I required to-spec for my personal site Big Grin

The only install step is to create the file data/other/mini_blog.xml with the following contents:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<blog></blog>

Then you should all be good Smile

please give any feedback or bugs to this thread as i am willing to work on it abit past my own needs for people.

Download: http://www.jeed.me/mini_blog.zip

Jeed.

Updates/Changelog:
* Fixed a bug with ckeditor implementation.
* I have now implemented ckeditor into miniblog, due to not being able to cleanly decide where the ckeditor files should be in the plugin (I am aware that get-simple already has ckeditor, but thats a long way away Smile

) the ckeditor files are hosted on a directory on my webserver, and if you use miniblog for now it will use that to run your ckeditor.

(If anyone has any suggestions to do this a different way please tell me and it'll be done.)

I have only got it using a minimal toolbar and right now it all seems to work fine, I have made sure it is properly escaped for the XML storage but if you find a way to break it, let me know Big Grin

Here is the link to a preview of how its looking for me so far:

The new version is availiable here:

Use the original link if you do not want ckeditor used.

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-06-02

figured out, it works, but too simple

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-03

It supports multiple posts and ive tried it on a couple of installs and it seems to work fine for me.

I know it may be simple but the aim was to give a cleaner base, most other plugins i tried the code was well.. ugly and I could'nt even get them all to work.

If anyone wants anything added then i'll do it. I havent added modify post because i didnt require it but ifits wanted its simple to implement..

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-06-03

Add ckeditor

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-03

Ckeditor is implemented Smile

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-06-03

Now plugin your all broke, I can not add a new page Smile

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-03

Hmmm sorry to hear that but it is working for me on multiple get-simple installs, can you give me any errors or traces of this?

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-06-04

Notice: Undefined index: DATE_AND_TIME_FORMAT in /home/cp057944/public_html/time.ru/1/admin/inc/basic.php on line 211

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-04

Its due to a core update or bug, my line 211 for that file is just a close comment (*/) and im using the latest stable version which means the plugin may not be compatible with SVN versions.

Also note the file the error is in is a core file so I don't think my plugin would trigger this anyway, sorry i cant be of more help I suggest reverting your install.

That would be an issue with your language file. Please check whether there is a DATE_AND_TIME_FORMAT string in your translation.

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-04

Thanks for clearing that up for us mate Smile

EDIT:: just spotted a bug, could be to do with what you was on about, I've now fixed it and its in the download for miniblog-0.2, please try this Smile

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-06-04

That's what happens
set miniblog-0.2 and added a line in the language file
utf-8

Mini Blog (beta) - Jeed - 2010-06-04

I see the problem with that, As I had only tested the ckeditor implementation with English I didn't see this, the way I escape the ckeditor output for use in XML storage is efficient, but it will cripple unique language characters.

I'll look into a workaround for this.

Mini Blog (beta) - dig412 - 2010-07-22

I've updated this plugin a bit, as I found nSys to be overkill for my needs.

Updates:

Uses the built in ckeditor and toolbar settings - hopefully this should save some traffic to your server!
Blog posts can now be edited - click on the title in the post list
Altered the markup that is emitted into the page - should make the posts integrate with the selected theme
Users can use the tags to filter blog posts - comma seperated tags will become links

You can download the updated version here:

Thanks.

Yep, that's the function, I put it in a new template page so i can add "Blog" to the menu.

Ah, i've found a very stupid bug to do with post ids.

I've fixed it, and uploaded it in the same place as before, and attached it to the post.

Fixed it again (thanks for spotting that Oleg!)

Mini Blog (beta) - Oleg06 - 2010-07-29

oooops

Mini Blog (beta) - dig412 - 2010-07-31

Ok, here's version 0.4:

UTF-8 support for foreign characters
Better escaping of html entities
Uses built in GS functions for data management - greater reliability

Either copy the included 'mini_blog.xml' to the '/data/other' directory, or change your existing one so the first line reads:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

At this point more of the code is mine than Jeed's original, so I've changed my name to be the primary author, with him as the originator. If you want to take it over again Jeed, i'll be happy to change it back.

Thanks again to Oleg for finding all the bugs!
