Requested Blog Features


Hi tikiwikers,

the blog feature of tikiwiki is powerful and has a nice integration to the other components like wiki. But to succeed against the large number of compeditors in the open source and the commercial market, we need a lot more "killerfunctions" within the blog-component and the whole tikiwiki-system.

Now I want to try, to mention some important features and criteria for a blog system. In my opinion it's important to give these functions to admins and users.

PLEASE edit or comment if you have additional features, you mean they are needed and reasonable. If you (mostly developers of tikiwiki) know or mean, that a function / feature is implemented yet or can be realized throughout customizing, please reply too. THX.

17.c the blog-pilot should integrate blogs on other sites and from other blog systems

17.d if a post is part of the pilot-route, a trackback / ping is automatically added. The other post should "know" that he is part of a blog-route

There is a Wiki page already concerning the blog system. Read BlogDev for more.

18.a Archiving posts (depends on timeframe, category,...) to a XML structure, to re-read and eventualy import these structures with other systems (and vice-versa!). Then delete the posts from tikiwiki blog. Not to forget to create a log-file.

18.b Managing post means implementing functions for group operations for posts. This can be: set read to owner, set hidden,.... Important is the group manipulation aspect.

19.a there is a need of a summary text field for use in mobile editions (short text version) or viewing in a overview list type (like news / articles).

20.a blacklist for referers (trackback source)

------

I hope this will help to push your / our efforts in the right direction. More criteria will come in the next days.
