Tweak to make it CMF 1.4 friendly.

15.May.2003
Made it plone friendly, read the README carefully if you're usingplone(tested with 1.0.1 only). I also tweaked the blog.zexp to make iteasier to get up and running with minimal hoop jumping. The README hasbeen greatly changed, so check it as well.

Added an installer script, updated the documentation, that's really it.Meant to post this Sunday but got distracted ;) Questions, comments,complaints, suggestions, postulations on reality, etc etc. allappreciated.

Tweaked the comments code (CMF doesn't handle multiple talkback_treeson the same page real well, so it's been shunted off to the entryitself) and addressed a security issue and a few layout tweaks as well.Oh yea, archiving now works but requires CMFCalendar to be installed.Go into the portal_calendar config in your ZMI and select PABlog, andvoila, you have full archiving. There are hoops to jump through to getold entries to show up, I'll document that at some point, butessentially it involves going in and hand editing the publish date.

1.0 is now available. Rewrote about 90% of the front end using PageTemplates. A few changes were made in the metainfo of BlogEntry.py thatmay screw you in the upgrade. You can change them back is you want.

0.7. Well, Blark code didn't lend itself to rewriting. I built afilesystem based product loosely inheriting from CMFBoringProduct andCMFCalendar and faked the rest of it. Fully functional at this point,very useable, code will be posted sometime over Thanksgiving when Ifinish cleaning it up and documenting it (there are sizeable chunks ofsystem outs). Create/edit/delete/view are all there, entriesautopublish on save, layout code is an ugly mix of DTML and TAL whichwill all become TAL in version 0.8. Or somewhere thereabouts.

I highly recommend using Composite in mozilla as an in place WYSIWYGisheditor.

Core product (add/edit/view/delete basic (title/body/creator/date) blogentries) imports smoothly into Zope 2.6/CMF 1.3. UI is ugly ugly ugly,that's next, along with extending the metadata and object methods.
