Giggle [http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~cassidy/giggle/] is a [weblog] application written in [Tcl] written by [Steve Cassidy]. Giggle is a clone of Blosxom [http://www.raelity.org/apps/blosxom/index.shtml] or at least started out that way. Messages are text files stored on disk; the first line is the title; the rest is the message. See [http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~cassidy/cgi-bin/giggle/] for an example blog. Any thought of Giggle having some sort of way for the author to contribute to the blog dynamically from the net? From an internet cafe, one may or may not have ssh access to one's server. Of course, I suppose for a distributed mechanism, one could just use an authenticated wiki-type setup. [SC] yes, this is on the list. The idea would be to allow a POST to the Giggle URI create a new weblog entry. This could also allow comments to be posted on blog entries, just POST to the URI corresponding to the message you're commenting on. This would need to include some kind of authentication, maybe a password along with the POSTed story would be enough. Are there plans to continue work on Giggle, for example cloning the Blosxom version 2 plugin architecture? [SC] I'm not really setting out to clone Blosxom but I do want to add some features for my own use at least. I've thought about plugins and it would be relatively easy to have a similar mechanism to Bloxsom's but I'm not racing to do it yet since I can just hack the code at the moment :-) Possible features: * Content formatter -- it would be nice to write entries in something like wiki markup * Image files -- drop an image into the directory and have it appear as a blog entry complete with metadata from [exif] * Static site generatiton/page caching for high trafic sites. * Store pages in an MK database (with Wiki markup -- wait a minute, how different is this from a wiki? Non-editable pages, pages threaded by discussion topic, different presentation, but otherwise perhaps the same infrastructure). ---- [WJR] Hi, I'm having a problem with Giggle. I've set it up OK, and it runs as a CGI script on [TclHttpd] 3.5.1 up until the point I try to create a post. When I create a simple post txt file like this: title content I get the following error: Malformed line (1) in: 'content' while executing "error "Malformed line ($lineno) in: '$line'"" (procedure "rfc822::parse_header" line 25) invoked from within "rfc822::parse_header $in" (procedure "readmsg" line 41) invoked from within "readmsg $bloginfo(basedir) $s" (procedure "giggle::generate_page" line 26) invoked from within Any ideas? Let me know if you need additional information. ---- [Category Application] | [Category Internet]
