setting up a blog?
Locked
 
|
Ok, I'm not clear on how to setup a blog given the base pier
installation from MC. There is an add blog cmd in the command, then a number of blog components in the add component logic. However I'm not quite sure what the steps are to put a blog into a new wiki are? Plus any changes to the environment that are needed. Right now if I add a blog, then add a blog archive I just get "no blog found" since findBlog ^ self context structure parents reverse detect: [ :each | each isKindOf: PBBlog ] ifNone: [ nil ] doesn't find the PBBlog Obviously some structure/steps are required beyond the let's try this and see what happens. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

You may want to download Pier-Setup and execute 'PRDistribution new register'. That will erase default Pier kernel and replace with with a new one, with a good-looking css some default pages and a blog. Here is the list of packages I install in a new pharo-web image related to Pier: instClass := Smalltalk at: #Installer. instClass lukas project: 'pier'; answer: 'Would you like.*' with: true; answer: '.*name of your Pier kernel.*' with: 'Pier'; answer: '.*entry point.*' with: 'pier'; answer: '.*port number.*' with: '8080'; installQuietly: 'Pier-All'; install: 'Pier-Squeak-Persistency'. instClass lukas project: 'pieraddons'; install: 'Pier-Design'; install: 'Pier-Documents'; install: 'Pier-EditorEnh'; install: 'Pier-Google'; install: 'Pier-LightBox'; answer: '.*SlideShare.*' with: ''; install: 'Pier-Links'; install: 'Pier-Randomizer'; install: 'Pier-Setup'; install: 'Pier-SyntaxHighlighter'; install: 'Pier-TagCloud'; install: 'Pier-Titles'; install: 'Pier-Twitter'; install: 'Sitemap'. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st _______________________________________________ SmallWiki, Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ... https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki |

Hi,
I added the followings to the faq: How to setup a blog? • Invoke the Add command and select Blog from the dropdown menu. • To get the archive in the blog, add an Blog Archive component somewhere else, and embed it in the environment of the Blog How to post to a blog? • Go to the blog • Invoke the Add command and select Post • Entry the content • If you want to publish it for everyone to see, enter the publication date (you can also click on the current button) Does this help?

Otherwise they display the error message "no blog found". I agree that this is not ideal in many cases, because it forces users of a blog to create a new environment. Below you find a few possible solutions, but none of them really convinces me: - Blog related components could just hide when being displayed outside of a blog. Maybe that's confusing too, if you add something and but can't see it? - Blog related components could expect you to specify a blog in their settings. That would make everything very declarative, but would prevent from reusing the templates on different blogs. However the widgets could also be part of documents or displayed as a summary on the home page. Maybe that solution isn't that bad after all?

I didn't understand this point. I don't have Blog Archive component. I only have PBPostArchive. However, I don't know how to embed it into the enviorment of the blog. Add command in blog, only shows me "post".

Hi Mariano,
The Environment is the page that defines the template for the current structure :). You can see it via the Edit Design Command. In the Pier 1.1.1 distribution, the environment of /blog is / blogenvironment. If you go to /blog and Edit Design, you will see that you have a +/environment/blogarchive+. This means that the component blogarchive resides somewhere else (in this case under /environment) and it is embedded when the blog is rendered. Indeed, the class is PBPostArchive, but in the ui menu it appears under the name of 'Archive' in the 'Blog' grouping. For the code to produce this setup, please take a look in PRDistribution from the Pier-Setup package.
