I have a question about moblog. I would like to have it possible, thatI cannot help you with the moblog and topic images questions. To achieve authentication from the website, take a look at the CookieCrumbler product for Zope.
when I send a mail to the moblog-emailaddress, where the email is
divided in a part meant to appear in body and the second part in extend,
by using certain rules in the mail. Is this possible ?
Concerning coreblog, I would like to know how I could use topic images,
like in squishdot, because this doesnt work with me, problem with
manage_categoryForm : Cannot locate object at:
http://xxxxxx/blog/manage_categoryForm
I also try to get the following thing workin : authentication and
possiblility to add articles from the website and not from the zmi ?
Concerning your question about adding articles from the website, some time ago I worked on it and got it working, including the addition of images to the post, but with some limitations I could not solve. Anyway, I'll explain it to you, maybe you can use it or even solve the problems!
I have added a DTMLMethod called 'addEntryForm' with the following code:

As you can see, this calls an intermediate 'manage_addEntry2' method which does some preprocessing (adding the image to the images folder, adding a line in the body to include that image, etc.) and a preview before calling COREBlog's own 'manage_addEntry' method. This is this DTMLMethod's content:

Then you need to add a python script called 'objecttype' which takes a parameter called 'object' and has the following content:
if object is None:
return 'None'
s = str(object)
if object==s:
return 'string'
try:
t = object.meta_type
return t
except:
pass
try:
l = len(object)
if s[0]=='[':
return 'list'
if s[0]=='(':
return 'tuple'
if s[0]=='{':
return 'dict'
return 'sequence'
except:
pass
try:
t = object.timeTime()
return 'DateTime'
except:
pass
try:
val = int(object)
if val is object:
return 'integer'
return 'number'
except:
return 'unknown'Now you have to change some permisions. The first method we talked about, 'addEntryForm', has to be viewable by managers and owners. In your CoreBlog, managers and owners must be able to add coreblog entries and add documents, images and files.
So now every user you add with the 'owner' role will be able to add an article through the 'addEntryForm' form without going into the ZMI, and will even be able to add an image at the beginning of it.
The limitations I talked about are that you can only edit it in structured text and that you can not use the EPOZ service to edit the article (they both gave me some complications I haven't had time or been able to solve). But if it is of use to you as it is...
