These would be useful for blogging, +especially on aggregator sites like http://planet.debian.org. I think maybe +the meta plugin can be used to set the author field, though I haven't tried +it, but in my opinion a better way would be to have the author taken from +the user name who created the page (either from the svn commit or from the +user name in the web commit). Maybe there are issues with this though. + +> Yes, the meta plugin will add fields if author meta-info is speficied. +> To get author info from commits it would need to store it in the index file, +> similarly to how pagectime is stored. Doable. + +I'd also like to see a comments field added with a link to the discussion +page so that comments can be made there. One thing I'm not sure how to deal +with is the way the discussion page link changes after it has been created. +There would need to be some way of specifying to ikiwiki.cgi to create the +page if it doesn't exist, or to just edit the page if it does. +Alternatively, the discussion pages could be automatically created when a +new blog post is created, and then the edit link would work fine. + +> I would really like for some additional TMP variables to be present in the rss template as well. For the inline page template, the CTIME TMPL_VAR results in nice phrases like: <q>Posted late Tuesday morning, November 13th, 2007</q>, and it would be neat to let the planet Debian people see that as well :-) Manoj + +[[!tag wishlist]] |
