<p>New users:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<strong>1.</strong> Unzip the package in an empty directory.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>2.</strong> Open b2config.php in a text editor, and modify the variables
|
|
as explained in the comments. Comments are lines that start with # or /* or //<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>3.</strong> Upload everything. This release is designed to sit in your root folder,
|
|
IE the folder where your b2-powered page will reside.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>4.</strong> a. This isn't necessary but ensures your security: With your FTP
|
|
program, do a CHMOD 644 on the file b2config.php, so no-one can overwrite
|
|
it except you. If your server is on Windows NT, then set the file on "read-only" mode.<br />
|
|
|
|
b. if you want to use the spellchecker, do a CHMOD 755 on sproxy.pl<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>5.</strong> Launch b2install.php in your browser. This should setup the
|
|
MySQL database for your blog. If there is an error, double check your
|
|
b2config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the
|
|
support forums there: <a href="http://tidakada.com/board" target="_blank">http://tidakada.com/board</a>,
|
|
and make a post with all the information about the failure (error messages,
|
|
etc), and your setup (the PHP and MySQL versions on your server, and the
|
|
browser you were using).<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>6.</strong> Delete b2install.php - this is not necessary since
|
|
v0.5, because there's no "drop table" instructions in the install
|
|
script anymore, but it's better to delete it anyway (or rename it to a
|
|
random name in case you need it again in the future).<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>7.</strong> Go to b2login.php and log in with the login "admin"
|
|
and the pass "admin". Then click on the menu 'My Profile',
|
|
and change the password. Note:
|
|
you need javascript enabled to launch the profile popup window.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>8.</strong> Do this if you don't want to blog as "admin": log
|
|
out, create an user account on b2register.php, then re-log in as "admin",
|
|
and update the level of the new user to 5 or more, so that you have all
|
|
the admin rights. Logout, then log in as the new user.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
Whenever you want to post something, just open a browser and
|
|
go to b2login.php to log in and post.<br />
|
|
You can also use a bookmarklet and/or a sidebar (IE5+/NS6+) to post.<br />
|
|
You can also post through the Blogger API, <a href="#xmlrpc">click here</a> for more info.<br />
|
|
Your site's blog is on b2.php (simple template) and index.php (CSS template), you
|
|
can rename this file to index.php or any other name you fancy (provided
|
|
it bears the php extension or is interpreted as a php file by your server).<br />
|
|
You can also copy b2.php into a new file and modify that new file, it will work too ;)<br />
|

|
|
<p>Users upgrading from v0.5.x to v0.6.1:</p>
|
|
<blockquote> <strong>1.</strong> Unzip the package in an empty directory, to avoid
|
|
deleting your existing b2config.php file.<br /><br />
|
|
<strong>2.</strong> Open the new b2config.php file and your existing b2config.php file. Modify the new b2config.php file in order to use your existing settings there, in addition to the new settings. (There are a lot of additionnal settings, so it's best to edit the new config file than adding on the exisitng one.)<br /><br />
|
|
<strong>3.</strong> if you want to use the new spellchecker, do a CHMOD 755 on sproxy.pl<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
<strong>4.</strong> Edit <u>all</u> your templates and update your template tags
|
|
to follow the changes to the template tags here, because there have been some
|
|
modifications, and it would cause some errors if you didn't edit the templates.
|
|
Tags noted with an orange asterisk <b><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono" color="#FF9900">*</font></b>
|
|
are tags that were added or modified in v0.6, these are those you got
|
|
to update in your templates.<br />
|
|
<strong>5.</strong> Upload the new files, and you're done. :)<br /></blockquote>

<a name="templates"></a><h1>template(s):</h1>
|
|
<p>First notes:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>Enclosed is an example of a template, in the file b2.php. You can rename
|
|
this file to "index.php"or something else (recent b2 versions have a default index.php, which is an elaborate CSS-based template).<br />
|
|
You can have any number of template files, since all they do is extract
|
|
the posts from the database.<br />
|
|
Pseudo-template for the comments is in b2comments.php. You needn't rename this
|
|
file, but you can edit it.<br />
|
|
The only thing to remember is that it's not actually a template, but a
|
|
PHP file that you're manipulating. So when you see "don't delete
|
|
this line", you know you mustn't, unless you want to have a broken
|
|
page.<br />
|
|
Required lines are: the first lines that call blog.header.php, the lines
|
|
with the "while" statement, and the ones with just "}"
|
|
(it ends the while loop).<br />
|
|
Between the "while" line and the "}", is the template
|
|
for your posts.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Notes about parameters:</p>
|
|
<blockquote><strong>1.</strong> Some template tags can accept optional parameters
|
|
between the parenthesis <strong>()</strong>.<br /><br />
|
|
<strong>2.</strong> To add a parameter to a
|
|
tag, enclose it between quotes and put it between the <strong>()</strong>.<br />
|
|
Example: <?php my_tag("my parameter"); ?><br /><br />
|
|
<strong>3.</strong> You may have to put several parameters, for that you separate
|
|
them with commas.<br />
|
|
Example: <?php my_tag("first param","second param"); ?><br /><br />
|
|
<strong>4.</strong> The order of parameters is important. If a function accepts 2
|
|
parameters and you only want to set the second one, you still have to provide the
|
|
first one, and so on for any number of parameters.<br />
|
|
Example: <?php my_tag("","second param"); ?><br /><br />
|
|
<strong>5.</strong> Some template tags, like the_date(), display something only
|
|
if in some conditions. They generally accept parameters to display something before
|
|
and after them only when they display something.<br />
|
|
Example: <?php the_title("<h1>","</h1>"); ?> would display <h1>title
|
|
of the post</h1> only if the post has a title<br />
|
|
|
|
<br /></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Template tags are these:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<strong><?php the_date() ?></strong> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courrier,mono; color: #ff9900; font-weight: bold;">*</span><br />
|
|
the date of the post. example: 03.07.01 (default is dd.mm.yy).<br />
|
|
the date is displayed only on new days. for example if you got 10 posts
|
|
on the same day, the date for this day is displayed only once.<br />
|
|
|
|
<div class="params">Parameters:<ul>
|
|
<li>format string (default: "d.m.y")</li>
|
|
<li>string to display before the date (default is blank)</li>
|
|
<li>string to display after the date (default is blank)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<strong><?php the_time() ?></strong><br />
|
|
the time of the post. example: 18:37:00 (default is hh:mm:ss)<br />
|
|
|
|
<div class="params">Parameters:<ul>
|
|
<li>format string (default: "H:i:s")</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> you can change the way the date & time are displayed
|
|
in the Options page.<br />
|
|
once you understand the format strings for the date & time (explained
|
|
in the Options page), you can change the display right on the template:
|
|
for example, <strong>the_date(</strong><em>"d.m.Y"</em><strong>)</strong> to have
|
|
dates like 25.12.2001, <strong>the_time(</strong><em>"B"</em><strong>)</strong> to
|
|
have Swatch Internet Time.<br />
|
|
If you change the display of the date on the template, changing it from the
|
|
options page won't have any effect.br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<strong>Note about the_date():</strong> if you want all your posts to bear the date,
|
|
you'll have to use the_time() instead, with a date format string. for
|
|
example, to have all your posts show like "25.12.2001 @ 8:04:50 AM"
|
|
you'll have the_time("d.m.Y @ g:i:s A"). you can also repeat
|
|
this template tag 2 times with 2 different formats: the_time("d.m.Y")
|
|
for the date, and then later the_time("g:i:s A") for the time
|
|
of the day.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<strong><?php the_weekday() ?></strong><br />
|
|
This displays the day of the week when the post was made. It works like
|
|
the_time(), in that it would appear at every post. Weekdays can be obtained
|
|
with a custom date format string in the_time() or the_date(), but for
|
|
non-english weekdays you have to edit b2config.php<br />
|
|
<strong>Note: this tag is OBSOLETE, the_time() and the_date() now use weekdays/months from b2config.php</strong><br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<strong><?php the_weekday_date() ?></strong> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courrier, mono; color: #ff9900; font-weight:bold;">*</span><br />
|
|
Like the_weekday(), but works like the_date(), in that it would appear
|
|
only on new days.<br />
|
|
<strong>Note: this tag is OBSOLETE, the_time() and the_date() now use weekdays/months from b2config.php</strong><br />
|
|
|
|
<div class="params">Parameters:<ul>
|
|
<li>string to display before the weekday_date (default is blank)</li>
|
|
<li>string to display after the weekday_date (default is blank)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<strong><?php the_ID() ?><br />
|
|
</strong>the ID (number) of the post.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<strong><?php the_title() ?><br />
|
|
</strong>The title of the post.<br />
|
|
|
|
<div class="params">Parameters:<ul>
|
|
<li>string to display before the title (default is blank)</li>
|
|
<li>string to display after the title (default is blank)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<strong><?php the_content() ?> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courrier, mono; color: #ff9900; font-weight:bold;">*</span><br />
|
|
</strong>The text of the post.<br />
|
|
|
|
<div class="params">Parameters:<ul>
|
|
<li>text to display for the link to the complete entry (default is <em>'(more...)'</em>)</li>
|
|
<li>0 or 1, whether you want to show the teaser message or not, when showing
|
|
the complete text (default is 1)</li>
|
|
<li>a filename of another template, if you want the 'more' link to link
|
|
to a different template for the complete text of the extended entry (default
|
|
is the current template)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
For example <em><?php the_content("read more","0","blah.php")
|
|
?></em> would display a link to <em>blah.php</em>, with the link text
|
|
<em>read more</em>, and won't display the teaser message.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courrier, mono; color: #ff9900; font-weight:bold;">*</span>
|
|
To enter an extended entry, just type <em><!--more--></em> in your
|
|
entry. The part before that comment is the teaser, the part after it is
|
|
the extended entry. To force the extended entry not to show the teaser
|
|
message, type <em><!--noteaser--></em> somewhere in your entry.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courrier, mono; color: #ff9900; font-weight:bold;">*</span>

|
|
<title><?php bloginfo('name') ?><?php single_post_title(' :: ') ?><?php single_cat_title(' :: ') ?><?php single_month_title(' :: ') ?></title><br />
|
|
Only one, if any, of these functions will produce output, thus the page Title can be customize to the task being done.

|
|
<strong><?php the_author_email() ?> - </strong> the author's email.<br />
|
|
<strong><?php the_author_url() ?></strong> - the author's url.<br />

|
|
<strong><?php the_author_icq() ?></strong> - the author's ICQ number.<br />

|
|
<strong><?php the_author_login() ?></strong> - the author's login name in b2.

a picture with an author, like this: <em><img src="pictures/<?php
|
|
the_author_login() ?>.jpg" border="0"></em><br />
|
|
<strong><?php the_author_ID() ?></strong>
|
|
- the author's ID number in b2. This number is automatically set when
|
|
the user registers: to see the ID of an user, go to the Team page. This
|
|
is static data too, so you can use it like the_author_login() in associating
|
|
stuff with authors.<br />

This tag differs from v0.5's tag because in v0.5 and prior, it would only

display a number, not a text with it, so you could have terrible things

like "1 comments" (doh !)<br />

(note: to pass variables in the querystring, preceed the first variable
|

name with a '?' question mark and every other variables with a '&'
|
|
sign.)<br />

<a name="xmlrpc"></a><h1>XMLRPC interface:</h1>
|
|
<p>b2 now has a XMLRPC interface. The only API available right now is the Blogger
|
|
API (complete specs <a href="http://www.tswoam.co.uk/blogger_method_listing.html">here</a>). There are talks about a new API that would cover a lot of weblog/CMS systems
|
|
in the future: when it's ready, b2 will support it.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The <a href="http://plant.blogger.com/api">Blogger API</a> has been
|
|
completely emulated on b2, with some little differences:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>using <em>blogger.getRecentPosts</em> with the number 'zero' returns all
|
|
posts in the blog</li>
|
|
<li><em>blogger.getTemplate</em> fetches your file $blogfilename (as specified in
|
|
the config), while <em>blogger.setTemplate</em> overwrites it with the edited
|
|
data</li>
|
|
<li><em>blogger.getUsersBlogs</em> is a dummy function that returns '1' and
|
|
$blogname, since b2 supports only one blog as of now</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you use blogger.newPost, your post is submitted without title and in category
|
|
#1.<br /><br />
|
|
However, you can type <title>my title</title> and/or <category>2<category>
|
|
in the body of your post to make its title be 'my title' and its category be #2
|
|
(refer to your categories section to find out the ID numbers of the categories). b2 would then delete that extra info from the body of your post once it is posted.<br /><br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
You can now post to your b2 blog with tools like <a href="http://blogbuddy.sourceforge.net">BlogBuddy</a>, <a href="http://bloggar.cjb.net">Bloggar</a>, <a href="http://www.ubique.ch/wapblogger/">WapBlogger</a> (post from your Wap cellphone!), <a href="http://radio.userland.com">Radio Userland</a> (which means you can use Radio's email-to-blog feature), and other tools that support the Blogger API ! :)<br /><br />
|
|
Your XMLRPC server/path are as described here: if you login to b2 on http://mydomain.com/me/b2login.php, then you have:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>server: http://mydomain.com/me</li>
|
|
<li>path: /me/xmlrpc.php</li>
|
|
<li>complete URL (just in case): http://mydomain.com/me/xmlrpc.php</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>There's also a b2-specific method: b2.getCategories. Request it with 3 strings: blog_ID (use '1'), username, password. The response is an array of structs with strings categoryID and categoryName.<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
<a name="postviaemail"></a><h1>Post via Email:</h1>
|
|
<p>You can post news from an email client !<br />
|
|
But first you'll have to edit b2config.php, filling the appropriate values for your POP3 email account (this interface doesn't support IMAP yet, only POP3, sorry).<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Once you have edited the config options, you can make your webserver execute b2mail.php every set amount of time (depending on your host's performance, this script can be resource intensive, so don't make it run every minute or you'll be kicked).<br />
|
|
You can do it with Cron-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your b2mail.php URL.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Preliminary advice:</b><br />
|
|
It is strongly advised to send your email as text-only (Outlook and Outlook Express default to 'html', which may cause problems), but HTML email could work (the script would strip all your html tags though...).<br />
|
|
It is also advised not to use your public email address, but create a new one especially for this script. If you use your public email address and the script goes crazy posting every email on your blog and deleting all your emails, I can't take responsibility for this.<br />
|
|
Make sure you delete any email sent to your blog in your 'Sent' folder too, just in case (you don't want someone to find your login and password in the 'Sent' folder).<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The script will <i>delete</i> the emails that were used to post stuff on your weblog if it successfully posted your stuff. If it didn't manage to post, the email is not deleted.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>How to post:</b><br />
|
|
Now to post something, here's how your email should look like:</p>
|
|
<div class="params">
|
|
<b>To:</b> address@domain.com <span style='color: #999'>(you set it in the config file)</span><br />
|
|
<b>Subject:</b> blog:the post's title <span style='color: #999'>(you can change 'blog:' in the config file)</span><br />
|
|
<b>Body:</b><br>
|
|
login:password <span style='color: #999'>(example: <i>Jack:Starwars</i>)</span><br />
|
|
The content of the post, blah blah blah.<br />
|
|
More blah blah. ___
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Subject must start with 'blog:', or any string you set in the config file (so that the script doesn't check EVERY email in your mailbox).<br />
|
|
Body's first line must always be login:password, else the script will just skip the email.<br />
|
|
If you don't use '___' (or any body terminator that you set in the config file), the script will post the whole body, which is not what you want if you send email with Yahoo or Hotmail (you don't want their ads on your blog, do you ?).<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<b>Special cases for mobile phone email:</b><br />
|
|
Some mobile phone service providers may allow you to send email with your mobile phone or PDA, but on such devices you can't always include line breaks. In such case, you have to set <i>$use_phoneemail = 1</i> in b2config.php, and then here's how you write the email:</p>
|
|
<div class="params">
|
|
<b>To:</b> address@domain.com<br />
|
|
<b>Subject:</b> blog:the post's title <b>:::</b><br />
|
|
<b>Body:</b><br>
|
|
login:password <b>:::</b> The content of the post, blah blah blah.___
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>You will have to append ':::' (or whatever string you set in the config file) after the subject, and after the login:password.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Some mobile phone service providers may not allow you to set a subject, and they'll make the subject be the first characters of the body, in which case you would send an email like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="params">
|
|
<b>To:</b> address@domain.com<br />
|
|
<b>Body:</b><br>
|
|
blog:the post's title <b>:::</b> login:password <b>:::</b> The content of the post, blah blah blah.___
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>

|
|
<p>On multi-user:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>You don't invite users, they can register on b2register.php.<br />
|
|
Then you (as an admin) click the "+" next to their name in the
|
|
user-list, to upgrade their level to 1 or more, so they can post. If you
|
|
don't want an user to post anymore, just click "-" until their
|
|
level is 0.<br />
|
|
Note: you can now disable users registration altogether from the config file.<br />
|
|
<strong>Levels</strong> are these:<br />
|
|
0 - new user: can't post.<br />
|
|
1 - user: can post & edit/delete their own posts.<br />
|
|
3 & more - admin: can post, edit/delete other people's posts, and
|
|
change the options.<br />
|
|
Any user whose level is higher than 1, can edit/delete the posts and change
|
|
the level of users whose level is inferior. Example: a level 2 user is
|
|
not an admin, but can edit the posts of level 1 users, and up the level
|
|
of a new user from 0 to 1.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Usually, you'll want to have a team of only level 1 users except you.
|
|
;)<br />
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> you can modify a variable in b2config.php, to enable new
|
|
users to post once they've registered.<br />
|
|
If you don't want users to register on your blog at all, just delete b2register.php
|
|
once you've registered your user account.</blockquote>

Final notes:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>b2 is functionnal, but a lot of coding and code clean-up remain
|
|
to be done.<br />
|
|
If you've got suggestions, ideas, or comments, or if you found a bug,
|
|
why not joining us in the <a href="http://tidakada.com/board/">Forums</a>
|
|
?<br />
|
|
If you can code in PHP, you'll see the structure of b2 is flexible enough
|
|
to allow for more functions and sections to be added.</blockquote>
