This is a plugin that prompts the user for a title for a post, and then redirects the user to post in a hierarchically organized directory structure. It supports limiting blog posts only to certain users, and this applies to creating new as well as editing old ones. It's a little clumsy so far: * Although Joey said specifically not to, I export the printheader function so that the plugin can create a form. * The form doesn't invoke the formbuilder hooks; I couldn't figure out a way to do that easily from inside the plugin (unless I exported run_hooks and that didn't seem right). * This invokes a new hook, authcgi, although Joey said that "the best approach was adding a flag that makes a cgi hook get postponed and called after a session is set up". I don't know if this is a good idea; authenticated CGI plugins need sessions, and unauthenticated CGI plugins don't, so it seems like a new hook is a better idea. * This creates a lot of broken parents unless you use something like [[missingparents.pm]]. I don't expect that this will be applied; it's more like a first draft. I would like to hear good ideas on how to solve the first two problems. Maybe make the hook return a form, which is printed by CGI.pm? --Ethan <pre> Index: IkiWiki/CGI.pm =================================================================== --- IkiWiki/CGI.pm (revision 3968) +++ IkiWiki/CGI.pm (working copy) @@ -684,6 +684,9 @@ } } + run_hooks(authcgi => sub { shift->($q, $session); }); + my $do=$q->param('do'); # in case the hook changed it + if (defined $session->param("name") && userinfo_get($session->param("name"), "banned")) { print $q->header(-status => "403 Forbidden"); Index: IkiWiki/Plugin/blogpost.pm =================================================================== --- IkiWiki/Plugin/blogpost.pm (revision 0) +++ IkiWiki/Plugin/blogpost.pm (revision 0) @@ -0,0 +1,97 @@ +#!/usr/bin/perl +# blogpost plugin: interprets cgi "blogpost" commands as create commands. +package IkiWiki::Plugin::blogpost; + +use warnings; +use strict; +use POSIX; +use IkiWiki 2.00; + +sub import { #{{{ + hook(type => "checkconfig", id => "blogpost", call => \&checkconfig); + hook(type => "authcgi", id => "blogpost", call => \&authcgi); + hook(type => "canedit", id => "blogpost", call => \&canedit); +} # }}} + +sub checkconfig () { #{{{ + if (! defined $config{blogformat}){ + $config{blogformat} = 'posts/%Y/%m/%d/$title'; + } + + if (! defined $config{blogpagespec}){ + my $spec = $config{blogformat}; + $spec =~ s/%./\*/g; + $spec =~ s/\$title/*/; + $config{blogpagespec} = "$spec and ! $spec/*"; + } + + if (! defined $config{blogusers}) { + $config{blogusers} = (); # disallow all posting by default + } +} #}}} + +sub authcgi ($$) { #{{{ + my $cgi=shift; + my $session=shift; + + return unless (defined $cgi->param('do') && $cgi->param('do') eq "blogpost"); + my $user=$session->param("name"); + error ("not allowed to blog, $user") unless + $config{blogusers} eq "*" || + grep {$_ eq $user} $config{blogusers}; + eval q{use CGI::FormBuilder}; + error($@) if $@; + my @fields=qw(title); + my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new( + fields => \@fields, + title => "post title", + name => "post title", + header => 1, + charset => "utf-8", + method => 'POST', + required => 'NONE', + javascript => 0, + params => $cgi, + action => $config{cgiurl}, + header => 0, + template => {type => 'div'}, + stylesheet => $config{url}."/style.css", + ); + my $buttons=["Blog!"]; + $form->field(name => "do", type => "hidden", value => "blogpost", + force => 1); + if (! $form->submitted){ + printheader($session); + print misctemplate($form->title, $form->render(submit => $buttons)); + exit; + } + else { + my $page = blogpage($form->field("title")); + $cgi->param("do", "create"); + $cgi->param("page", $page); + } + +} #}}} + +sub blogpage ($) { #{{{ + my $title=shift; + my $page=POSIX::strftime $config{blogformat}, localtime; + $page =~ s/\$title/$title/; + return $page; +} #}}} + +sub canedit ($$$) { #{{{ + my $page=shift; + my $cgi=shift; + my $session=shift; + + return undef unless pagespec_match($page, $config{blogpagespec}); + my $user=$session->param("name"); + IkiWiki::needsignin($cgi, $session) unless defined $user; + + return "" if ($config{blogusers} eq "*" || + grep {$_ eq $user} $config{blogusers}); + return ("not allowed to blog, $user"); +} #}}} + +1 Index: IkiWiki.pm =================================================================== --- IkiWiki.pm (revision 3968) +++ IkiWiki.pm (working copy) @@ -17,6 +17,7 @@ our @EXPORT = qw(hook debug error template htmlpage add_depends pagespec_match bestlink htmllink readfile writefile pagetype srcfile pagename displaytime will_render gettext urlto targetpage + misctemplate printheader %config %links %renderedfiles %pagesources %destsources); our $VERSION = 2.00; # plugin interface version, next is ikiwiki version our $version='unknown'; # VERSION_AUTOREPLACE done by Makefile, DNE </pre> [[!tag patch]]
