PyBlosxom Recent Posts Plugin
04 Jun 2008 19:22
I’ve been using PyBlosxom to run this blog and, increasingly, the static content of the site.
PyBlosxom tries to do as little as possible in the core, saving most features for its plugin framework. Nice technically, but leaving features up to “the community” to implement sometimes leaves some frustrating holes, as I discovered when I searched in vain for a plugin to implement “recent posts” functionality.
The upside is that it was really easy to implement—about 100 lines of Python. It’s available from the software page if you want to run it yourself; if you have any questions about it, feel free to contact me. about it.
Update: I posted about my plugin to pyblosxom-devel and they added it to the plugins list. w00t, as the kids say. If you’re coming here looking for more information on the plugin, I suggest you read the docstring comments of the plugin itself.
