TurboBlog? is a blogging systems to host multiple blogs in the same application running on top of TurboGears?.

We now have a google-group to discuss. Feel free to ask your questions of any type. Please note that your first post will be moderated and may take a while to appear in the group.

Florent Aide recently (mid feb 2007) took over the maintenance of TurboBlog? and began porting it to TG 1.0.x.

Version 1.0.2 is out! It now works with TurboGears? 1.0.1 and fixes some bugs present in the older versions.

The installation manual is attached to this page and explains all that is necessary to install and start using TurboBlog?. Please read it.

1.0.2 (2007-04-30) Changelog:

• Adds support for some of the options in the control panel
• Fixes glitches in the data model and implements mechanism for auto-upgrading from one db version to another.
• Added the pylint resources files so contributors can generate the dependency graphs :)

1.0.2rc5 Changelog:

• Updated the installation documentation to bypass a problem on the first line of the startup script.
• Fixed the posts order on the page to have the latest post at the top.
• Fixed crashes on user profile display. It is not pretty but at least there is no traceback anymore.
• Added autogeneration for menus in the administration part. This added some small tooltips and paved the way for internationalization.
• Changed the code to make sure posts are always saved in UTF8 in the database and NO html entity is sent there. This helps for searching and fixes a traceback when using such characters.
• Added a conversion routine that will check if the model is at the right format and fix the posts if they have the old format. Making sure that old blog posts in the database are all upgraded when we first start the new application (1.0.2rc5).
• Fixed a display bug with Internet Explorer near the end of the index page.
• Implemented the site wide search on the front page.
• Added search on comments and posts in the blog dashboard.
• Added date search for comments and posts in the dashboard.
• Added some code to handle the comment edition. Now works with a bright new and shiny submodal widget :)
• Fixed a problem that made impossible to include mochikit in pages without receiving a traceback.

1.0.2rc4 Changelog:

• Fixed the file download link so that the original filename is correctly proposed by the browser
• Removed TinyMCE from our distribution since we now use TurboTinyMCE. This means that the archive download size is now ~300Ko instead of 1M
• Fixed the search function in the post management screen (Sorry this is false... I have it in SVN but not in 1.0.2rc4)
• Fixed the display order of the posts on the first page. Post are now displayed with the most recent first.

1.0.2rc3 Changelog:

• we now have a file upload system which permits to propose file downloads and image display/insertion into posts
• added a (really succint) user manual (see bottom of this page)

1.0.2rc2 Changelog:

• we now have an installation manual (look at the bottom of this page)
• the application now creates the database itself with sane values

1.0.1 Changelog:

• This version fixes a nasty bug that bites when you try to use non ascii characters for the blog name.
• It fixes the blog dashboard that displayed comments and posts from other blogs.
• I also adds a search functionality for the comments in the dashboard.
• Notice that comments written in the database using 1.0 will be seen as rubbish since we changed the column type. Sorry. Only 4 of you downloaded it since the last release yesterday so this is why I am rushing this release out to make sure you are not using 1.0 too long before upgrading.
