> Key: ROL-1366
> URL:
> http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-1366
> Project: Roller
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: linda skrocki
> Assignee: Allen Gilliland
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> Details from Allen's emailed proposal to the Roller community:
> 2 of the things that pretty much all weblog owners tend to put in their
> templates are 1) a picture, typically of themselves and 2) a short bio
> paragraph. Right now, Roller doesn't provide any easy way for these items to
> be controlled via the editing UI and so for people to add them to their blogs
> they must hack at templates.
> I am currently working with some folks at Sun who are designing some new blog
> themes and these 2 items have come up in every one of the designs so I'd like
> to propose that they be added as built-in attributes of a weblog. This way
> theme writers and template hackers can have a simple and consistent way of
> getting these pieces of information for a weblog and allowing users to
> control them without having to edit templates.
> The technical side of this would be very simple, just adding 2 new columns to
> the website table ...
> image varchar(255) null
> bio text null (or can varchar work?)
> then of course adding them to the pojos and a couple of simple UI controls on
> the Weblog Settings page to edit them. The UI controls would be simple right
> now, just a textfield for the image and a textarea for the bio. In the
> future we can improve the image field to use some kind of image selector from
> the users uploads, etc.
