blogs.fedoraproject.org and planet

[Luca Foppiano]

Hi all,
	I'm interested to know the status of the blogs instances in the
fedoraproject domains.
I would like to use the blog and the planet as news/story board for the
local fedora communities website .

* About the blog, Is something work in progress? I saw a nice
infrastructure but with some work more to do:

- are you aware that the css has some class broken? like the images are
not correctly shown?

- do you think is possible to customize also the left bar?

* about the planet, are there any plans to create a multi-instance,
planet, maybe by country or by language?

let me know
luca

Work in progress.  AFAIK the docs still haven't been written up and it
still hasn't been announced.

If you're any good at that stuff submit some patches, I'm sure we'd be
glad to have them.

We've talked about it and I think we decided no but I don't remember the
detauls.

I'm working with some other guys to evaluate some solutions for our
website infrastructure and the blog is one of our candidate. While we
will work on a sample for us we can provide you some patches and
suggestion on it.
Is there a trac/git repository for the blog system?

uhm, that's a pity :(
I was wondering to workaround about this lack with a wordpress plugin:
feedwordpress (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/)

I think this pluign needs to be packaged.

and for would be nice to have also "add to any plugin" which is already
packaged as: wordpress-plugin-add-to-any.noarch

I have this packaged, as we're using it internally, if someone wants to 
play w/ it.

The theme used for the blogs site is what's available.

We have things like http://planet.fedoraproject.org/design/ or 
http://planet.fedoraproject.org/desktop/

There may be others, but they are not advertised enough nor easily 
discoverable.

My skills in php and wordpress themes are really low, anyway I took a
look at the possible problem with the images. I think there is some
class missing in the css. I'm working on my machine to test it.

Another thing that I found is related to the login, if you try to access
the control panel and you are not logged, you are forwarded to the login
page. When you enter the credentials, you are autenticated but forwarded
to a wrong address:

https://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.fedoraproject.org%2...


Another question. is there a page or a draft of the whole blogs project
in the fedora wiki?

Thanks
Luca

To make sure these things don't get dropped, it's best to open a ticket at
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/

I'm not sure where they coordinated how they came to this particular
setup, but I know some of the docs aren't done yet (which is why it's not
'official' yet and why it's not been announced)

The redirect is a known problem and there is already a few tickets filed:

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1778
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1718

Although the tickets don't mention it, there has been some work
towards getting this resolved. We do believe its either a problem with
wp-login.php or http -> https rewrite issue (more likely the rewrite).

The wiki page on the blog.fp.o stuff is on the Websites page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites#blogs.fedoraproject.org

The docs and the redirect issues are the main reasons blogs hasn't
been announced yet.

If you'd like to talk more about this and have some ideas, you can
find us in #fedora-websites on Freenode.

Thanks,

Sijis

Hi, I worked a bit on the theme and I produced some patches (in attachment):

- added caption style for images (I basically copied from the default theme)
- fixed some links (you should test it because I didn't on fedora
infrastructure wordpress
- update the screenshot (I wrongly committed twice so we have two
patches but one is not used, sorry but is too long time I'm not using git)

Please give a check and let me know if is ok.

Thanks
Luca

We read it, I think not may people look at theme patches here, maybe
better luck on the websites-list?
