Flutterby CMS source

2002-08-13 17:19:09+00 by Dan Lyke 9 comments

Okay, I've made a tar file of the Flutterby sources. If you'd like access to the CVS repository gimme a yell and I'll give you a pserver login. I'd set up an anonymous system, but my time right now is short and I've got the whole thing in a chrooted directory which makes stuff tough.

I'd love for someone else to beat on this. I'd love to have an email exchange about installing it, or the philosophies behind this, so I can start to derive docs. Todd, I backed out a few things I did last night so unfortunately we'll still have problems running two instances on the same server 'til I get the time to go redo that (it turns out that wasn't the problem).

The HTML parser has a few issues right now, trying to make it understand my HTML and the common HTML errors I've found Flutterby users making means that there are some bad compromises I need to fix. Other things are probably broken, and the code tree really needs some reorganization. But there might be a nugget of goodness there.

No worries my friend. Just make it stable for one instance on a machine for now. Only 12 days till burning man! Reminds me I need to come by and pick up that generator for the barge. I got the electrics working(well not reverse yet) and want to road test it. it's on an extension cord right now. Hmmm I seem to be mistaking Flutterby for email again. sorry folks. Dan I'll email you

Dan, I've downloaded the tar file and uploaded everything to my test server. I'm looking through the install.pl file now, to see what need to be entered so it will work on my setup. When I get time, I'll jot down the steps.

Just to go on record. I'm interested in it. I've downloaded it. But I'm so far behind on about 23 other things that I probably won't have comments on it for a while.

I'm interested, I'll get it. I know I had talked to you before about the blogger API interface, but never got around to it. Running it on my own server (something I'd prefer over relying on Blogger) would be a huge bonus. (For what its worth, I'm reading this using the RSS reader included in the latest Gnus on emacs -- yet another reason to never leave emacs!)

Yeah, I've grabbed it too, and thanks. Since I expect we'll have a New Small Person around in less than seven days, give or take, don't know when I'll have a change to get a good look at it...

I dug into this last night. Fist comment: The schema should set up some sort of admin user that you can use to play around with initially. Some starter entries would be good, too.

Other than that, great job on the install script. It worked. Of course, I've got some style issues, but I'll just fix those as I go.

Thanks for the great work.

Mark, let's set you up a CVS tree as soon as you can so we can both be mucking on the same code base. That'll make me be a little more disciplined in my check-ins.
