+ From a Tcl page: +

 set blog_html [template::adp_parse "[acs_package_root_dir "lars-blogger"]/www/blog" [list url "/blog"]]

- If you supply a URL, then the blog that matches that URL is served - (assuming that a lars-blogger package is mounted at that - URL). Alternatively, you can supply a package_id - parameter directly. If nothing is supplied, [ad_conn - package_id] is used. + ... for the non-cached version, and ...

+
[lars_blog_get_as_string -url "/blog"]

- Alternatively, there's a cached version of the same, which is useful - if you're including a blog on the front page of a highly trafficked - site. + ... for the cached version.

-
[lars_blog_get_as_string -url "/blog"]
-

- This takes either a package_id or a url argument, just like the - others. To include this in an ADP, you can also say: + All of these are shown with an argument 'url' here, but they all + take a package_id argument instead, if you prefer that and know what + the package_id is. If nothing's supplied, the current package is + used, which is generally not what you want.

Technical Info

-The package fully supports multiple instances, i.e., you can mount -several instances in your site map, and they'll stay properly isolated -from each other. -

-Only supports PostgreSQL (please do port to Oracle if you want to). -

+ Contents in your blog entries are assumed to be full-blooded + ADP-ified HTML, so don't give people access to post a blog unless + you trust them. I guess it should be made configurable whether to + allow this or not, but since I'm developing this for my own site + primarily, I haven't done so. This also means that if you've added + custom ADP tags, those are also available to you in your blog. +

weblogs.com update ping

-There are a couple parameters governing this feature. You can turn it -on or off on a per-package basis. And you can specify which URL you -want to export to weblogs.com, in case it's not the one the package -instance is mounted at. This can be useful if you're including the -blog on other pages, for example your site's front page. Thanks to -Jerry Asher for the code to do this. +

RSS Feed

-The RSS feed is version 1.0 only, and requires the rss-support package -if you want to use it. I found that getting rss-support to register -the Report Generation Subscripion (whatever that means) was -hard. There seemed to be a bug, but the rss-support package was so -hard for me to figure out that I'm not sure. In the end, I hacked on -some page scripts and added a channel_title through SQL. Phew! Let me -know if you try to get this running, so we can either fix the bug(s) -or write some clear docs on how to. +

+ The RSS feed is version 1.0 only, and uses the rss-support + package. You should be able to simply visit the admin page of your + new blogger instance and click the "Setup RSS" link, and you'll have + an RSS feed. +

+ Then you'll need to set the parameters and say that your + rss_file_url is at + /where-your-blogger-instnace-sists/rss/rss.xml. If you leave this + blank, we won't advertise your RSS feed URL anywhere. +

-You can supply your own channel image through the parameters. And you -can specify which URL we should advertise the RSS fil under. Leave -blank if you haven't set up an RSS feed for this package. +

+ You can also supply your own channel image through the + parameters. +
