Here is my issue: I'm attempting to roll out Roller (no pun intended) to a
pretty large audience at a pretty large organization. We have created our
own theme, but to integrate with our internal navigation we need to, on
specific blogs, use an arbitrary key so the nav system is aware of where it
should be (this can't be done using the URL alone).
I know on Wordpress the equivalent of an open, user-defined Map is available
for people to drop arbitrary data onto the view. This sort of thing might
work, but it looks like extending the Weblog model in Roller is not
necessarily trivial (ideally we'd just have another, admin-only, text field
in weblog setup).
As we integrate more and more this will come up as an issue more and more.
Am I missing something, or is there no easy way to do this?
That's a good point. I hadn't really thought of the integration
aspects of it, but I've always thought that we'll eventually have to
move to a name/value model for weblog settings instead of adding new
fields to the website table.
Right now, I guess you can either 1) add new fields to the website
table, 2) add your own name/value settings table for each website
(kinda like the entryattributes table) or 3) add a relationship table
to tie your extensions to each weblog.
