A Feq Questions

Re: 1) In blojsom 3, Aside from the individual weblog templates and the administration interface’s JavaScript/images/CSS/etc., all the weblog data is stored in a database. It may also be the case that a future update for blojsom 3.x will involve being able to serve templates and themes from the database. I just didn’;t want to keep putting off blojsom 3.0.

I really don’t have any plans on making the blojsom 2.x codebase work in this way.

Themes are a named collection of templates. For example, the default theme in blojsom is called Asual and is made up of 6 individual template files.

If you need help customizing templates and/or themes, don’t hesitate to ask here. They’;re very easy to understand and work with.

Re: 2) In blojsom 3, there is a page to manage unapproved responses. In blojsom 2, there is no such page. There are no plans to make this functionality available for blojsom 2.

Re: 3) The referrer log plugin needs some re-work. I plan on re-writing that plugin for blojsom 3.

In blojsom 2, the original blojsom theme has a page called html-referers.vm which contains code to display the referrer data from the referrer plugin. You could adapt that for the Asual theme w/o a lot of work and then access the page by adding ?page=referers to the end of your blog’;s URL.


If you’ve just installed blojsom 2, maybe you want to move right now to blojsom 3 since that’;s where all new development will be focused.

Hey guys. I'm a new blojsom user and I must admit I like blojsom a lot. I have a few questions, and I'm hoping somebody can clear them up for me.

(1) Completely separating all user-generated and user-customized files from the webapp. It seems there's a lot files (templates, resources, and themes) that are stored under the blojsom webapp. I see this causing lots of problems for me in the future. I'd like to be able to move these files from out under the webapp. How might I go about doing this? Ideally, I'd like to have a setup like: /var/weblogs/data,templates,resources,themes. Users should be able to share templates/themes (still not sure what the relationship is between a template and a theme) and I'd like to customize all the template-themes (adding standard copyright stuff). How hard would this be to setup?

(2) When comment moderation is turned on, where are the comments waiting to be approved stored? Is there a single page in the administration interface where I can see all the comments waiting for review?

(3) Where can I see the referer and access logs for a blog? I understand that the referer document isn't displayed publicly to prevent referer spam, but I'd still love to see this information. Does blojsom preserve it at all? Can I enable it in web.xml?

Thanks.
