https://code.paulk.fr/tag/blog en Free software, programming and stuff Mon, 25 Jun 2012 19:18:00 +0200 PluXml https://code.paulk.fr/article1/running-my-new-dev-blog-with-pluxml https://code.paulk.fr/article1/running-my-new-dev-blog-with-pluxml <p>So, I decided to start out a new dev blog, focused on software (and sometime hardware) development I'm doing. Currently, it mostly takes place in the <a href="http://www.replicant.us/">Replicant</a> project, a fully free <a href="http://www.android.com/">Android</a> derivate. I'm hoping I'll get to <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/">Coreboot</a> development soon, even though it seems quite hard at first sight.</p> <p>I used to write on <a href="http://blog.paulk.fr">http://blog.paulk.fr</a>, but that was in french and so did limit a lot the scope of people able to read my posts. I'll probably keep writing there sometimes, but probably for non-technical stuff (there is a wide range of subjects that I'd be interested to talk about). </p> <p>For this blog, I decided, for a change, to use a non-mysql blog engine. I would gladely have used heavy engines as Dotclear or Wordpress, if any of these supported sqlite (which is way easier to handle for personal-use blogs as mine). Anyway, I got to <a href="http://www.pluxml.org/">PluXml</a> and gave it a try. It's apparently written by a bunch of frenchies (the comments on the code are in french). I had to do a couple of personal modifications to make it fit my expectations.</p> <p>First thing is about the theme: the default one is IMO kinda ugly. As I didn't want to spend the crazy amount of time that creating a theme from scratch requires, I just picked a good-looking one and did a few changes. The theme is called Mystique. I think it was designed for Wordpress (as it's used on coreboot blog) but then got ported to <a href="http://www.pluxml.org/">PluXml</a>. After small changes (that I won't list there, because I already forgot about half of them), I came up with something good enough for my daily use on this blog. The result is available for download at: <a href="http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/mystique.tar.gz">http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/mystique.tar.gz</a> and should be GPLv2-licensed.</p> <p>About PluXml code changes, I made a diff from someone's code that I found on a forum (the author is given in the source code). It permits to have a tags cloud. It's available there: <a href="http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/tagArtsList.diff">http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/tagArtsList.diff</a>. Last change I did is a new function to list the articles taged with a particular tag. The code is used to show selected posts on the top bar of the blog. It's available as well: <a href="http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/artTagsCloud.diff">http://download.paulk.fr/pluxml/artTagsCloud.diff</a> under the GPLv2+ license. </p> Mon, 25 Jun 2012 19:18:00 +0200 Paul Kocialkowski Fatal error : type : 2 message : Trying to access array offset on value of type null file : /core/lib/class.plx.motor.php line : 746 See https://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php about type of error ============================================================ Drop this plugin now for running PluXml and report to its author !!
