Rublog question

Zach Dennis

11/28/2004 6:35:00 PM

I have downloaded and am playing w/Rublog. If I wanted more then one
person to have their own blog, would I have to modify rublog.cgi or
create separate rublog.cgi files for each person?

Just thinking outloud here.

Thanks,

Zach

Create a separate rublog.cgi for each (for example there are a number
of rublog blogs I host here: each is a separate .cgi (for example
cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi). They define their own data directories, but all
link to the same rublog source.

Thanks for responding Dave, and I've got another question about Rublog.
In the Full Intsallation rdoc file you mention that Rublog can read CVS
directories. All of my cvs files end with a ,v extension, and Rublog
doesn't seem to see them. It only appears to read .txt for Plain Text,
and I don't see a CVS convertor.

Is there a special flag I need to set so Rublog reads them? Thanks,

Zach

Ok I see now that it appears Rublog is setup to read from a CVSTree on
the client end and not on the server end. Would providing blog access to
a CVSTree be worth making a convertor for?

I am trying to think of ways to make blogging easy for my development
team at work. My cvs server and my web server are two separate machines
so I don't really want to have to manually do a cvs checkout every time
a new blog is posted, every time rublog.cgi is called or even run a
crontab job every few minutes.

Thoughts anyone? Thanks,

Zach

I'd like to just use an SMB share.

You should be able to point your datadir at a part of a CVS repository
and it'll find the files in there. Any files ending with ,v will have
the suffix removed, the content will be extracted, and then used as
normal.

That's how I do all my blogs: I point rublog at the repository, then
check in entries from where ever I happen to be.

Rublog reads the CVS repository on the server: on the client the files
just look like regular files.

If I have 1 file in my cvs root rublog doesn't publish it and I get a
blank page.

If I have >1 file in my cvs root then rublog works.

I just moved my blog root to a subdirectory of it's former directory,
and now when i have 0 blogs Rublog shows up (before it just gave me a
blank page). And now when I have 1 file it works fine. It sounds like
something quirky on my end. Sorry for the noise,
