Simple Blog Plugin

A plugin that adds a simple blog interface to an application. Features:

  • Post creations
  • Tagging
  • Comments
  • Rss/Atom Feed

Dependency

Usage

Install

grails install-plugin simple-blog
Simple-blog plugin works simply by installing the plugin. After installation you will have a controller to access: 
http://localhost:8080/<your-application>/blog

User Evaluator

In order to use this plugin you need to define a user evaluator in grails-app/conf/Config.groovy 
grails.blog.author.evaluator = { session.user }
if your user information is passed through request use 
grails.blog.author.evaluator = { request.user }
One other option is to define a simple string to be added: 
grails.blog.author.evaluator = { "defaultUser" }

UrlAccess

Useful available links: 
/blog/$author?/$year?/$month?/$day? - List entries ( author and date range optional args)
/blog/tagged/$tag - List entries with tag
/blog/feed/[rss|atom] - Rss Feed

Taglibs There's a way to render last entries in other parts of your website: 

<blog:renderEntries number="3" />

Skinning

The plugin doesn't come with a layout or css defined, you will need to define the cascade for your application. Set styles for UI components like "blogControls", "blogQuickLinks", "blogTags", etc

Roadmap

  • richer user edition
  • improve entries management
