I hope this is the right place to post Work-in-progress modules - I'm new around here so feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate if it isn't.
As I mentioned in another thread, I'm working on a simple Blogging Module plus a RepTag which provides some blogging functionality. It'll never compete with MovableType/WordPress et al, but it's not meant to.
I'm not intending to tread on any toes or anything, so if a similar Mod exists that's passed me by, let me know!
The plan is to support all these things:
- Multiple Blogs [Done]
- Add / Edit / Delete Blogs [Done]
- List / Add / Edit / Delete Entries [Done]
- Per-Blog Preferences
- Use of {BLOG:Blogname} Reptag in frontend [Done]
- Customisable styles [80%]
- Multiple entry categories
- RSS feed support
- Comments and Permalinks
I'm hoping to add user-ownership to blogs, though I'm not quite sure that that's possible with the current user-management tools that Phpwcms has.
I don't envisage doing Trackbacks or Pings or anything too complex.
Some screenshots -
Backend:
Frontend, using {BLOG:Test Blog} in a content part [displays last 6 items at the moment], and using Jerome's GT Plugin to display the titles:
The code is currently in a pre-alpha staus, in that it works in a very basic fashion, but has lots of loose ends that need tidying up and features still left to be implemented. I hope to be developing it more over the coming weeks.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated, and thanks to OG for providing such a wonderful CMS system in the first place!
