[COREblog-en] Modified Coreblog with nice features

[Luistxo Fernandez]

Hello, this is to document something we promised some time ago: a new 
Coreblog development.
See the demo at http://www.datamina.net/blogak/csblog-en
and download the modified product, instructions and else from here:
http://www.codesyntax.com/en/contents/coreblog

This modified Coreblog is in usage in a Basque blog community at
http://www.goiena.net/blogak with examples like
http://www.goiena.net/blogak/zinema
http://www.goiena.net/blogak/faroa
http://www.goiena.net/blogak/superbai

In those blogs, users (individual bloggers, as opposed to the website 
managers of Goiena.net) need no Zope knowledge.

     * Editing and managing interfaces taken out of ZMI, and they have been 
localised

You cannot access the editing interfaces in the example or the demo, but I 
posted an image at this blog entry, so you can have an idea:

Other features:

     * Date is editable. You can change date & time of posting, whenever 
you want.

     * Comment and trackback control interfaces integrated into the general 
entry management view

     * A micro-CMS so the user can manage fixed content, upload files and 
images.

     * Template changes only through the CSS, but the CSS can be directly 
accessed and edited by the user. Design follows a Movable-Type 3 layout, so 
you can adapt any CSS layout of that kind and apply it.

A good place to get CSS's is http://www.MovableStyle.com. Check the MT3 
category: the styles fit nicely. Those with images in the background 
require more homework, but the pure CSS's are just copy, paste, save and see.

     * All that is localised, with versions ready for English, Spanish and 
Basque, and the possibility to easily deploy other languages.

     * Image addition and management: pictures get embedded into posts. 
This feature is based on the work of Jeff Hicks, Brady Davis and friends at 
Blogplot.com

Regarding this last feature, see how it works in our demo,
http://www.datamina.net/blogak/csblog-en/1
or in sites related to the Blogplot crew, the inventors of it,

This image embedding modification was created  by Jeff Hicks last year, and 
it appeared at the old Coreblog-en list. Thanks to Brady Davis of Blogplot, 
we found that code in almost lost archives:

Well, there's no indentation in that peace of code, so I have republished 
it at my blog for others to see.

that's all!
