Scrawl is a dirt-simple blog product for Plone.
Project description
Description
Scrawl is a dirt-simple blog product for Plone. It copies the “News Item” content type to create a “Blog Entry” (with a slightly tweaked view template) and adds an alternative view to Smart Folders (blog_view). Note that blog_view shows either the description of each contained blog entry (if it exists) or the entire body in it, so it’s up to the user to limit those results in an intelligent way so that page loads doesn’t take too long.
Scrawl works in Plone 2.1, 2.5, 3.x, and 4.0.
Installation
Installing using buildout
Simply add Products.Scrawl to your eggs list and rerun buildout.
Installing as an old-style product
Download the old-style product tarball from http://plone.org/products/scrawl.
Place Scrawl in the Products directory of your Zope instance and restart the server.
Final step: Add to your Plone site
Either go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in Plone and click on ‘Add/Remove Products’ or use the Quick Installer in the ZMI.
Migration
There is a basic migrator available for Quills -> Scrawl. Read the docstring in Products.Scrawl.Extensions.migrate_entries for more details. YMMV.
