Anything new? and some thoughts about labels/tags

[Franz Philipp Moser]

Hi list,

I keep wondering when antville will make his next release step? I've
seen no active commiting to the repository for 6 or more months.

Maybe the lead developers of antville could tell me whats going on,
because I've been waiting for the labels branch a long time now :)

Maybe we have a little shortage of time?

So here are some thoughts for the labels branch:

*) First of all we should not call it labels. The common word grouping
stories, images, ... is afaik tag.

*) so create a TagMgr (for Root)

*) create a SiteTagMgr (or TagMgrSite, dont know witch wording would be
best so please help me here) extending TagMgr but only have the site
specific Tags

*) create a Tag prototype

*) create a relationship prototype to connect tags to content. Like the
memeberships. This relationship should also store the site it belongs
to, as I sayed like the memeberships.

*) modify (or acpect append) the story, image, file edit and create
actions/forms to capture the new functionality. I  think adding tags
from a comma seperated list isnt such an effort imho.

If you are interested in pushing antville a little forward, let me know.
Afaik adding tags to antville can be done over aspects, 2 new database
tables and a library zip file without changing the core code!

Please let me know if you are interested, and tell me whats going on
with the antville development.

Another thing is the step towards a "superprototype" content witch I
proposed a long time ago, but this may be discussed an other time :)

IANAD (i am not a developer) but let me chime in with a humble request:
along with tags, another area that would deserve attention (in these
web2.0 times) is rss2-compliant feeds that don't strip out html
marked-up enclosures...

ciao

IAAD (I am a developer) this seams a not so difficult to implement to.
If you wait a little I send you an implementation that you have to copy
to your app directory :)

Hi philipp and list,

so this is my RSS2 implementation of a rss2 feed. one Problem still
exists I dont know how to find out the value for the language tag. It is
now hardcoded into the Site/rss2.skin.

all you have to do is drop the zip file into your antville directory,
maybe somebody adds this to antville core.

If you dont trust me have a look over the code so I do nothing harmful.

You can see it in action on:
http://weblogs.brandnews.at/pm/rss2
http://weblogs.brandnews.at/pm/rss2.xml

The source is half copied from the original Site/rss action, but I have
modified the skins a lot so we dont need the Skin Params.

Have fun with it and send me feedback about errors and suggestions.

A feedback from myself I had some "features" in Site/renderFunctions.js :)

Some not needed vars. Here the corrected version.

Hi List,

The following macro can be used to add a rss2button to the layout
Site/page.skin:

/**
  * renders the rss2 button for use
  * when referring to an rss feed
  */
function rss2button_macro(param) {
    param = new Object();
    param.linkto = this.href("rss2");
    if (!DefaultImages.rss2button) {
       // add it to the default images
       DefaultImages.rss2button = {name: "rss2button.gif", width: 80,
height: 15, alt: "rss2 version of this page", linkto: ""};
    }
    DefaultImages.render("rss2button", param);
    return;
}

Copy the attached image to your static directory, add the function from
above to the Site/macros.js or better add it to the zip file I posted
before, so the core of antville is untouched.

Hope that helps you with your rss2 feature request :)

tobi, robert are you listening? Is there anything against, to add it to
the core, of course after you checked the code.
