blog-extension's Introduction

eXo Blog Extension

A simple multi-user blog extension for eXo Platform social intranet. It's a showcase of eXo content management capabilities.

You can discuss or find help on Blog Extension Community Space

Target : eXo Platform 4.0

How to Install

You can install the extension very easily using the add-ons manager

Using the Add-ons Manager (recommanded)

./addon.sh --install exo-blog-extension:1.1.0

If you don't have it already, you can quickly install the add-ons manager :

cd platform-4.0.5/
curl -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/exo/files/Addons/Add-ons%20Manager/addons-manager-1.0.0-alpha-2.zip/download -o addons-manager-1.0.0-alpha-2.zip
unzip addons-manager-1.0.0-alpha-2.zip

Using the Extensions Installer

If you don't want to install the add-ons manager on your eXo, you can still rely on the build-in extension.sh script that ships with eXo Platform 4.0.

cd platform-4.0.5/extensions
curl -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/exo/files/Addons/Blog%20Extension/exo-blog-extension-1.1.0.zip/download -o exo-blog-extension-1.1.0.zip 
unzip exo-blog-extension-1.1.0.zip
cd ..
unzip exo-blog-extension-1.1.0.zip
./extension.sh -i exo-blog-extension-1.1.0

     -r              start or restart the Tomcat server     (default: do nothing)
     -m              build / rebuild with maven             (default: do nothing)
     -u              update the project binaries in Tomcat  (default: do nothing)

Make a nicer CE template for blog drive

I would like a nice table with these columns : Title, Author, Categories, Tags, #comments, Last modification data and status

NPE in blog post view

When I select the webcontent in the FE, I have 2 tabs "Document View" and "File View" if I choose "File View", I got several " java.lang.NullPointerException" in the page

Non-resolvable parent POM: Failure to find org.exoplatform.addons:addons-parent-pom:pom:1

I'm not able to use the deploy.sh script or the mvn clean install. something has changed since the install docs on the readme. First clue is that the directory after cloning the git repo is not named the same.

regular users cannot access the blog admin

Because the Blog drive uses the authoring view that is available only to web-contributors, it is not possible to view it for simple users.

Wrong width and height and hidden publish button on the Blog Admin screen

We have a problem with the high and the width of the Blog Admin screen. The bigger nasty effect is that the bad width leeds to hide the publish action button under the drive selection button which is quite annoying because our blog will remain empty without that :-)

testing environment :

eXo Platform 4.1-M2 Community
java 1.7.0_55
Chrome 35.0.1916.153
Blog add-on 1.1.0 installed with the Add-on Manager

do not list blog posts on the left tree

it's cumbersome to see the blog posts on the tree.

to filter that we can set the drive to allow listing only exo:taxonomy nodes on the tree

sort posts by date in admin

In the Admin page, it would be nice to have the blog posts ordered by last change date from the most recent ones to the least recent ones, this way we can quickly find our blog post especially if like 99 % of the time it is a recent one.

Blog won't show up on navigation after installing

After installing the blog add-on through the add-on manager I could not get the blog to show up on the navigation.

allow to post multiple messages without a refresh

When we post a comment, the button "post message" disappear so we cannot post several messages unless we reload the full page

Wheel of the death when we clic on a draft post

In the Blog Admin screen, when we clic on draft post, the loading popup start to rotate but never stop (and this prevent us to do anything on the screen). At the same time, a WARN log line is printed in the logs

2014-06-17 18:08:07,776 | WARN  | Can't find resource for bundle org.gatein.common.i18n.ParentChildResourceBundle, key PublicationStates.draft [org.exoplatform.ecm.webui.utils.Utils<http-nio-0.0.0.0-8080-exec-10>]

testing environment :

eXo Platform 4.1-M2 Community
java 1.7.0_55
Chrome 35.0.1916.153
Blog add-on 1.1.0 installed with the Add-on Manager

let users publish their own posts

currently, blog publication relies on standard publication. Hence, it requires the help of a web-contributor to publish. We should give any user to publish his posts

Paginate comments in Blog Post detail page

When there is a lot of comments on a blog post, it could be a perf killer to show all the comments.

It should be good to paginate the comments.

edit my own comments

We cannot update/delete our comments of the blog post

reply to comments

In our blog post when we see a comment, we cannot answer it directly

Improve blog post url

find a way to improve the blog post url to have something without parameters :

http://int.exoplatform.org/portal/intranet/blog/article?content-id=/repository/collaboration/Groups/platform/users/Documents/2012/11/23/my-blog-post

should be for exemple

http://int.exoplatform.org/portal/intranet/blog/article/2012/11/23/my-blog-post

The ability to write a post on behalf of someone else

It would be nice to be able to write a post on behalf of someone else.

Add a way to go back to blog home from a post detail page

There is actually no way / link to go back to the Blog Home (posts list) when we are on a Blog Post detail page. This enforce us to use the Global Navigation bar which is painful because there is several levels in the navigation.
