First let me say that I am very interested in the boltwire software. I've been a user of several CMS systems and I am impressed by the simplicity and elegance of it. I will follow the development of this software closely and plan to use it on at least one site that I am developing now.
I have installed boltwire successfully (I'm using 2.35 boltwire) and it works pretty well, but I have really just begun exploring the language and the features. One of the things I would be interested in using it for is a blog, so I was glad to see the blog plugin and the detailed instructions page on how to install it. I have tried to install in MANY times in several different "field" folders and have not been able to get it working successfully. But it seems to be working so beautifully on the demo page of the boltwire site. This is rather a long post, but here are the steps I've taken and the problems I've had. I was hoping that someone who had successfully gotten it working could tell me what I've done wrong. In the picture says a thousand words spirit, I've posted a 5 minute video of these steps at: http://screencast.com/t/Pwsl8XGG 1. Downloaded blog.backup and pagedata.php 2. Uploaded them to the farm plugins folder 3. Installed pagedata plugin. Returned screen: _____________ Form submitted. Plugin Pagedata enabled. Backup file not found. No files extracted. Install Plugin Your plugin has been successfully installed. Click here to view currently installed plugins. delimiter= _____________ Not sure what the "Backup file not found No files extracted." means or why "delimiter=" was added to the page. 4. First added blog:blog to the site folders page, then Installed blog.backup file. Returned screen: _____________ Form submitted. The following files were extracted: action.blog, blog, blog.footer, blog.header, main.blog, main.blog.archives, main.blog.archives.header, main.blog.author, template.blog, template.blog.archives, template.blog.authlist, template.blog.authors, template.blog.list. Invalid page name. Please try again. Install Plugin Please select a plugin to install: Available Plugins blog pagedata Click here to view currently installed plugins. delimiter= _____________ Again, not sure what "Invalid page name Please try again." means. Also there is no selectable plugin available when you try to uninstall the plugin on the plugins page. 5. Added group.bloggers page with my login ID in it. 6. Added to side.auth.write: blog*: @key_blog main.blog.archives*: @key_blog site.public.blog*: @key_blog 7. "site.public*: @guest" IS in site.auth.view 8. Changed the lines in action.blog [session log_2 "content='--{=time_2} – ... [session log_4 "content='{=target}: 0' ... 9. Directed browser to field/index.php?p=main.blog and added a blog post There was a title field, a time field (filled with the number 1228404316), an author field, and the post field) It worked fine. and returned this screen: _____________ Form submitted. Page blog.aceadman.1228404316 successfully created. Data fields have been saved. MyblogOne Blog > aceadman > Posted: 12/04/08 This is a test blog A Add comment: _____________ 10. So I added a comment. The returned page doesn't show the comment at all. Just the EXACT same page as above. 11. I clicked the "Blog" link in the thread and was taken to the main blog page where I can see the post and the fact that ONE comment had been made. 12. Clicking either the Post name OR the "comments: 1" link takes me to the post with NO comments shown. 13. Clicked the link to my ID "aceadman" below the post name and went to field/index.php?p=main.blog.author&author=aceadman. It looks like this: _____________ Blog Blog? > Posts by aceadman? 12/31/69 1228404316? Total Posts: 1 _____________ 14. None of the links on this page go anywhere and the name of the post in the list has been turned into a number of some sort (timestamp?) 15. Clicking on the blog link returned this URL: /field/index.php? p=main.blog.main.blog which does not exist 16. Clicking on the aceadman link returned this URL: /field/index.php? p=main.blog.login.aceadman which does not exist 17. Clicking on the aceadman link returned this URL: /field/index.php? p=main.blog.blog.aceadman.1228404893 18. Created a user named "tester" and added user ID "tester" to the group.bloggers page. 19. Logged in as tester and went to ?p=blog 20. returned page: _____________ Form submitted. Blocked This page is not available or you may not have permission to perform a requested action on this page. _____________ Other issues. Deleting posts does not delete the post count or the comments count on the main blog page. I've deleted all posts, but the counter still says "Posts: 1 Comments: 2" < appears in a lot of places in the code where I think that a < should be appearing. I'm not sure why, I am working on a mac and have simply uncompressed the boltwire archive. I"m using BBEdit which is a raw text editor. Don't know if that is having any effect on the code or if it is intentional.
