shblog - where there is a shell, there is a blog

AddiKT1ve · 2010-05-30 17:20:14

Hey guys.

Just thought about releasing shblog to the Arch people. Btw, I don't know if I should propose a git-PKGBUILD on the AUR... Please help me to figure it out.

shblog is not litteraly speaking a blog engine, but more likely a blog generator. As does nanoblogger, shblog generates HTML files from your data/ directory: index, singles and sidebar ATM. I plan to add "static pages" (haha) but I'm currently thinking about a smart way to generate them without a total copy/paste of the current posts generation process.

The installation process is quite simple:

0°/ git clone git://github.com/addikt1ve/shblog.git ;
1°/ Edit $HOME/shblog/shblog and modify BASEDIR, plus edit conf/shblog.conf following your needs ;
2°/ ln -s /srv/http/shblog $HOME/shblog/static ;
3°/ ...
4°/ PROFIT!

Some basic commands you should know:

shblog post <post-title> # lets you write a new post, then generates its HTML file and regenerates your blog's index
shblog gen index # regenerates index
shblog gen single <post-ID> # regenerates post n°<post-ID>
shblog update # if you modified something under your data/ directory (i.e any .shpost), shblog will regenerate it
shblog clean # deletes data/*, static/* (excepted themes), rss.xml and the timestamps database [might be improved, along with other things of course]

I suggest you to export PATH=$HOME/shblog:$PATH so you'll be able to use the shblog command.

*Please* send me feedbacks, bug reports or any suggestion that would make shblog better .

Heh, and there I was making one of these guys not a week ago. Mine's literally a four scripts that: Add entries and refresh the index; create a comments page; check an email address for comments; markdown comments and add to the correct page.

I'll check out your code later, but this only goes to prove that if an idea's worth having once...

EDIT: I'll be happy to share mine upon request

nice.. another bloatless blogging solution. Wonder how it compares to http://blaze.blackened.cz/

Just tested it now, and wow, nicely done - puts mine to shame. Impressive [:

I gotta say, this is pretty neat.

Although, for some reason, the timestamp shows up correctly on the main page, but when I click the post permalink, the date reverts to 28th May, 2010.

I think you generated the post packaged with shblog. It dates back to 27th May, though.

Thanks for your compliments . I'm bothering with archives, now (by date, by tag, by author...).

shblog 0.5 has been released this morning.
It is a major release!

By the way, shblog is now available on the AUR (shblog-git package) and installed thanks to install.sh.

Good initiative, but unfortunately there are problems when creating new blog pages in Russian. Also, I never could figure out where the program generates html pages. Perhaps it would be better to join the development nanoblogger?

dkorzhevin · 2010-07-15 17:00:46

Is there any news on shblog development?

AddiKT1ve · 2010-08-01 09:38:27

Hi. I haven't been working on shblog for a while... May correct some bugs and/or add features during summer.

You should submit a bug report concerning the Russian language on github. Thanks .
