Seems to look nice: The Django Debug Toolbar

I found a strange error: with django changeset 8605 the PyLucid unittest doesn't work anymore.

The Problem is: The PyLucid models are not seen, so the database tables doesn't created... Don't know why...

EDIT: It's fixed, see: http://www.pylucid.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=248

I updated PyLucid, so now it can be used with the current django trunk version ;)

Django changes are:

• newforms admin branch merged
• Moved django.newforms to django.forms
• Changed the way URL paths are determined

Needed PyLucid changes: changeset 1719-1723

pages updates:

• new page: update PyLucid from v0.8.x to v0.8.5
• insert install instruction into /documentation/using/blog/

With changeset 1705 and 1709 there are some enthancement in the PyLucid blog plugin:

• All stuff around the RSS/Atom feeds
• comments didn't use the html pre tag.
• comments would be rendered with a simple markup who build only html paragraphs and links (if http:// used)

update:

With changeset 1712 i update these in the blog plugin:

• add a tag cloud ;)
• display only tag feeds witched used in a displayed entry
• tag ordering via django meta class
• update the templates/CSS

update 2:

And some update, too:
changeset 1713 + 1714:

• nicer "create blog entry" form (existing tags can be selected)
• some code cleanup
• try to verify tag slugs
• add some JavaScript confirm dialogs.

Django 1.0 alpha released. Nice!

Note: PyLucid is not updated for the last Backwards-incompatible changes! IMHO PyLucid should work fine with django revision 7966. With 7967 the newforms admin panel merge into the trunk. I think there are some changes needed in PyLucid.

I released a new PyLucid trunk snapshot v0.8.5pre2, you can find the version at sourceforge:

Now the PyLucid blog can generate RSS/Atom feeds using the low-level syndication feed framework in django.

I also split the big blog.py. The next thing to implement: Use caching ;) The blog plugin generates everything on the fly. The PyLucid page cache didn't do anything on the blog pages.

Other things are the tagging stuff. They should be sorted and a tag cloud should be generated, too.

Year, the django newforms admin branch merged into the trunk!

This is good news for me. I wait for this in PyLucid. Now we can use more parts from the admin panel and adapt it.

Bad news for me: In changeset 7949 the django guys have removed the MySQL_old backend, but i need this with my provider :(
For german speaking guys, see also: Im django gibt's kein MySQL_old mehr...

I add the PyLucid Blog to technorati.com:

Now our new blog plugin is online...

It's still a little bit experimental. But now is the time to test it.
More information about the new plugin can you find under /documentation/using/blog/
