blosxom :: the zen of blogging

Blosxom is about infinitely extensible via a plugin architecture. Here you'll find oodles of plugins to expand, extend, integrate, and delight. And they're written by Blosxom users just like you!

Have a Blosxom Plug-in to share with the Blosxom community? Plug it in here!

flatarchives - modification of archives plugin that generates a flat list of months with posts in them

/plugins/authentication

login - Allows you to create usernames and passwords to gain access to certain parts of your site
login2 - An alteration of the login plugin. This adds functionality which provides automatic logout after x minutes of inactivity. Note: not an option, but a function.

fauxami - Provides the "name" of the person posting the weblog entry, using anything before a specified delimiter ( the default is . ) as the "name". So, jack.story1.txt would yield a $fauxami::name of jack and jill.story2.txt would yield a $fauxami::name of jill.
whoami - provides username and full name for each story; useful for group Blosxom blogs

/plugins/browser

clicktrack - writes URLs in your stories to go through a 302 redirect script so you can log clicks on your blog that go offsite

/plugins/date

date_fullname - Purpose: Populates $date_fullname::dw (day of the week) and $date_fullname::mo (month name) with full day and month names, respectively
date_translate - translates day of the week and month name into the language of your choice
metadate - Lets you put metadates in an external file. Lets you specify metadates for directories or non-story files.
timestamp - Provides timestamps, as formattable strings or as Julian day numbers, for each story for inclusion in its display. Can use the cache from entries_index if available.
timezone - Causes the Blosxom timestamps to reflect a specific timezone that is

better_title - makes a title including category path or date (day month year) available for use in titling weblog page
binary - Cause Blosxom to see if the URL requested actually exists on the filesystem. If it does, then return the file, and then exit the script allowing for binary file serves. If the file does not exist, then the Bloxsom script will continue noting whether it needs to do a flavour translation on the data file, etc. The convienience of this is that when you wish to include an image or anything besides just the blog entry, you can place the file in the same directory as your text file, and reference it with a $url$path.
blacklist - This plugin allows you to create a blacklist file ( and a whitelist ) for your weblog that allows you to specify certain IP addresses that simply receive a 404 message making it appear as if your site is no longer there. You may wish to alter this to give a 410 message, if you like.
blogroll - builds a blogroll out of OPML files
blogshares - Purpose: Fetches blog shares info from blogshares.com via XML API and
blox - adds user-selected "paragraph" markup tags to plain entry file text; stop typing <p> tags! Existing tags are left alone.
breadcrumbs - builds a clickable trail to your current position in the weblog's path
chrono - This simple plugin redefines the sort() function to list stories chronologically (oldest first) based on the $blosxom::chrono variable defined globally in the blosxom.cgi script or locally in the relevant config file.

moreentries - Creates 'Next' and 'Previous' links when there are more entries than allowed on a page (as determined by the Blosxom config variable $num_entries). This doesn't affect date-style urls, since Blosxom ignores $num_entries for date urls. Great for search results (tested with 'find' plugin). Also provides template variables for showing which posts numbers are being displayed, etc. NOTE: This version is probabaly not compatible with Static rendering.
netflix - Lets you share the contents of your netflix queue or the list of movies you have checked out
now_playing - This plugin uses Trackback pings to populate $now_playing::last with the last few songs you've played in Winamp. It requires Benn Trott's tb.cgi implementation of Trackback and the DoSomething Winamp plugin.

randomizer - Populates $randomizer::text with a random line from a text file.
randomlogo - Allows random selection of a logo image from a directory.
randomtext - randomtext pulls a random file from a directory for display in a flavour template
reading_room - Allows for the (somewhat) easy creation of lists of books, films, etc, along with purchase links and star ratings.
readme - adds the contents of any a readme file found along a particular category path/directory

recentwritebacks - RecentWritebacks is a new plugin that allows you to easily locate the stories that have recently added posts. You can search your site for those stories that have had writebacks submitted within a specified number of days.
reverse - reverses the order of entries in archive pages, so index and category are in reverse chronological order and archives are in chronological order.
review - This plugin makes it easier to write reviews. It works off of a file per entry system. So, you can place custom variables in that file that get replaced when the review gets rendered. It also works with the asin/amazon plugin to render links to items you review.

(It should be noted that I honestly don't know what I'm doing. But I thought I'd submit this for comments if not for use.)
sizer - provides a way to limit the length of your blosxom weblog page, regardless of the number of posts it might take to fill it
smilefie - Like those cute smiles in your post? This plugin converts :-) into the regular

/plugins/display/graphics

PostGraph - Creates graphs showing the time of day you post, in two different formats (one identical to the MT "blogtimes" plugin)

/plugins/edit

bookmarklet - Adds blosxom bookmarklet for wikieditish.
wikieditish - Edit a Blosxom blog wiki-style, from right in the browser. Plays nicely with wikiwordish, tiki, and textile plug-ins. Features: password protection, ip-based protection, and preservation of last modified date/time stamp -- all optional, of course. [**EXPERIMENTAL FOR NOW**]

/plugins/files

cvsignore - Allows .cvsignore files be used to ignore certain files or directories in much the same way as cvs does.
exclude - With this plugin you can exclude certain entries and/or directories from displaying in your blog.

static_file - An extensive rewrite of the binary plugin.
svn - pulls entries from a subversion repository. preserves created date and populate last modified date.

/plugins/filtering

xmlrpcfilter - Pass blog content through filters on remote servers via an XML-RPC filter API

/plugins/general

blok - Converts Mac and Windows line-ends to Blosxom-friendly newlines. Now you can use just about anything to generate entry files, and it'll just work ;-)
config - override Blosxom's inline configuration settings on a per-directory, per-flavour, and per-directory-per-flavour basis (experimental!); see here for a more detailed explanation
crop_path - crop_path shortens the blosxom path variable to the last n parts. This is useful on pages showing multiple categories sorted by path, like this plugin registry.
flavourdir - Keep your flavours in a separate flavour directory rather than alongside all of your weblog entries.
fullcategory - Fixes a bug [feature ;-)] in blosxom so full category names are required (partial names will no longer work)
functions - write arbitrary functions for stories. Easily extended.
gzip - compress blosxom output with gzip encoding
keywords - This plugin extracts marked keywords form the individual stories and inserts them, sorted by frequency and weight, into the keywords meta-tag.
logger - This plugin lets you store cgi variables (user agent, referrer, etc.) in a log text file. You configure which variables to track, as well as column separator character. Bug reports and constructive criticism welcome-- I am a Perl newbie.
multiblosxom - Loads up external config files based on the name of the Blosxom script when executed. Useful when combined with symlinks on Unix.
pluginfo - makes information about your currently running Blosxom plug-ins available to your flavour templates
prefs - An alternative to the config plugin which has the advantage of correctly handling static rendering.
publish - Produces the meta tag 'expires' with a value that indicates the numer of seconds to preserve the page. After this time the page must be refreshed and not served from a proxy server cache. Allowing frequently updated pages to show up immediately in the browser without a manual refresh.
redirect - This plugin allows you to redirect obsolete url's on your site to the new url (useful for keeping search engines up to date, as well as visitors). Especially handy when you upgrade and remove the "/weblog" or "blosxom.cgi" bit at the beginning of your urls.
relative_dir - Allows you to use relative data directory
strip_unix_comments - Remove any line beginning with a # character.
subflavour - It's a very simple plugin based on Rael's flavourdir plugin. It automatically displays the writeback subflavour for the story chunk on individual stories by default. What this means is that it looks for a file called story.htmlwriteback in flavour_dir to use as the template for the story portion of this page if the current flavour is html and if an individual story has been requested. It also has the added bonus of allowing you to specify any subflavour for any chunk (head, date, foot, etc) based on $blosxom::path_info. For instance, I use it to display different story and date templates for my /links section, similar to the way the plugin registry works. The only difference being that the flavour-proper has not changed, and the reader always sees the same url. Not even a query string. That's what I like about it.
test -
theme - Build themes or use those built by others for your Blosxom-powered weblog.
twikirender - Uses a local TWiki installation to render blog entries.
update - easily add updates to past posts without having to modify the post
urltranslate - Translates URLs with a look-up table, and can add the client port number to specified URL's for virtual hosts accessed through tunnels or redirects.
uselib - Tells Perl to look for modules in $blosxom::plugin_dir/lib.
vhost - Enable different vhosts to have different a datadir in order to allow multiple weblogs without having ugly urls.
wordcount - After subtracting plaintext from your stories, counts the number of words in the plain text that's left. The wordcount is then available to you in $wordcount::wordcount. This plugin relies on the plain_text plugin for plain-text extraction.

/plugins/headers

cookies - Provides basic cookie functionality for use by any number of Blosxom plug-ins.
lastmodified - The 'lastmodified' plugin adds a 'last-modified' header to your blog. This should help enable smarter feed-readers to not pull your blog every time they check (I'm getting spotty behavior from Apache, it may take detecting HEAD requests from inside blosxom).
xhtml - Sends "Content-Type" of "application/xhtml+xml" to browsers who support it and "text/html" to those that don't (IE).

/plugins/hosting

isp - designed for the ISP looking to provide Blosxom weblogs to all of its users, this plugin traps URLs of the form /~username/weblog, setting an appropriate user-specific data directory

/plugins/images

autoimg - Converts simple text tags to HTML hrefs and img tags.
gallery - Another gallery plugin that generates a nice gallery page using a custom flavour.
galleryref - insert image tags for gallery galleries
iconset - Allows you to override the icon chose by the icon plugin on a per-story basis, though it can also be used on it's own.
imagegallery - ImageGallery allows you to easily add a group of images and thumbnails to your blosxom site. You create your story, a folder of images, folder of thumbnails, and an optional folder of comments, and the plugin does the rest.
imagesizer - adds width and height tags to your story images
meta_image - Takes a "meta-imgurl" and "meta-imgalt" tag from a post entry, and generates the html, suitable for displaying said picture with a story.
randomimage - Utilizes Gallery system and pulls random images from it, and links to Gallery's albums, etc.

/plugins/include

file - loads the contents of files into variables for use in your Blosxom flavour templates
include - includes files and the results of commands [possible security implications!]

/plugins/indexing

entries_cache - A variation on entries_index, this plugin caches your story index to speed up processing on blosxom sites with a large # of stories. Also caches file modification times, just like entries_index
entries_index - preserves original creation timestamp on weblog entries, allowing for editing of entries without altering the original creation time
entries_index_tagged - This is a hack of Rael's entries_index plugin which forces story dates to a value found within the files themselves (in a meta-tag), if found. Otherwise it just falls back to the default behavior for the original plugin. This is useful if you upload your stories to a remote webserver via FTP.
mtime_cache_filter - This is a reimplementation of index_entries that uses the 'filter' hook instead of 'entries', so it will play nicely with search plugins or other plugins that override 'entries'.

/plugins/input

Blog Post - This allows you to post blogs to Blosxom using a standard browser. You can specify the folder to create it in, move files from one folder to another, allow users to respond to blogs and pages on your site using a respond command, delete blogs from a browser, be notified by email when blogs are posted and more.
BlosGate - BlosGate- A cross-platform email-to-Blosxom gateway that doesn't require procmail or root access.

dbcomments - Support comments in a blosxom blog by using blosxom itself to create a parallel comment blog.
emailcomments - enables viewers of your blog to post comments via email
karma - Karma allows you to have your visitors score articles in a positive/negative fashion. It then calculates various scores that you can use to incorporate a "Top 10 Articles" section, or something similar, into your website. It is based on a concept by Beau Lebens.
metaweblog4bloxsom - A metaWeblog API implementation for bloxsom. It lacks support for mulituser, media upload and login/password (but this should not be hard to add, I use webserver basic authentication for this).
param - Use variables to access param data.
poll - Provides public polls which can be placed in the header or footer templates,
Pollxn - Lets visitors post discussion comments about stories on your blog site. Requires no database, Javascript, or cookies -- just a small (8K) Perl CGI that runs on your web server. Can be customized via template flavors to control how discussion pages look for tight integration with your blog. Use Pollxn stand-alone, or add the optional plug-in for Blosxom that dynamically displays number of comments per blog story.
prettycomment - Rids the world of the writeback comments plural and allows specific strings for 0, 1 and more than 1 writebacks. ie: for 0 writebacks, it could be, "0 comments (why not post the first comment?)" or for 1 writeback, "1 comment (add another!)"
proc2blog - Inserts an entry in your blossum blog from an incoming email using procmail. Uses a secret subject for authentication, so its not really
seewritebacks - Makes it easy to enable writebacks on multiple flavors for your site
ssfavorites - A server-side "favorites" or "watch" list. For each blog or story it puts an Add or Remove button at the top right under the blog title. Works with login plugin for user id's and keeps the favorites on the server. Example on foreclosurelane.com
submission - Enables submissions via POSTed data to your Blosxom weblog. Puts submissions into pending status, which you can view, too.
submitEntry - A variant on the submission plugin by DJ Adams. It allows to specify the section where an entry will go, and specifies the body text more directly. This assumes you have an authentication mechanism otherwise (such as login) and the user will be indicated as a meta-author.
sxtem - Standalone Ruby-based Blogger API implementation for Bloxsom.
trackback_counts_display - Incorporates TrackBack counts into Blosxom flavours.
wbnotify - Sends an email to specified address when a new writeback is entered. Needs writeback plugin.
writeback - Provides Blosxom weblogs with WriteBacks, a combination of comments and TrackBacks.
writeback-notify - A six-line hack of the original writeback plugin that provides for email notification of new comments. The hack does not effect the performance of the original writeback plugin.

/plugins/integration

purple - Integrates blosxom with PurpleWiki. This means support for Wiki text formatting, WikiWord linking, and purple numbers.

/plugins/interpolate

interpolate_conditional - Conditionally include bits of text and template variable values in templates.
interpolate_fancy - Overrides Blosxom's far simpler to use, but more limited, default interpolate() subroutine. Perform actions (i.e. call plug-in subroutines) at any point in your page, whether to act on current content and return results or no. Include bits of text and template variable values in templates, either conditionally or unconditionally. Conditions include: defined, undefined, equal to, not equal to, less than, greater than, like and unlike (regex).

cooluri - Allows the use of extension free, date based permalinks, as
cooluri2 - Makes Blosxom recognize date-based, extensionless URIs (aka Cool URIs) for both stories *and* categories
debpackagetag - Converts <debpackage>blosxom<debpackage> to a link to the associated debian package page
debtags - Offers currently two tags: <debpkg packagename> and <debbug bughint> bughint can be any of packagename, maintaineraddress, bugnumber or similar... More to come.
favorites - This plugin generates links from your IE favorites.
lcase - Convert Blosxom URLs to lower case.
linksused - It takes each story's links and populates $linksused::linksused with them.
macrolinks - replaces custom <google> style HTML tags with links to the associated site
magiclink - Featureful HTML link generator, based on a simple/natural syntax. Useful for easily linking to sites, searches (google, terms), and online store items (amazon with pics). Several targets are pre-configured, and others can be added.
mailto - creates creates a mailto URL with the subject line properly provided for use in flavour templates
permalink - Generates permalinks for you so you can use a consistent link format throughout your site
permapath - Substitutes the '/' in the $path for '_' so it will be suitable for using as an anchor tag
personLink - Jon Udell, in one article, expressed the notion that you can get a sense of what two people's relationships are with each other merely by feeding their names into Google. To this end, this plugin will match names in a list set in a meta-: variable to the contents of a post, and the first match is transformed into a Google query with the post author's name and the matched name.
rellink - A manager of relative links/images

/plugins/link/amazon

googletag - translate <google>keyword<google> to a google search link

/plugins/logs

refer - This plugin is a port of the refer.php code from Refer
referer - Populates $referer::recent with the most recent referrers to your blog. It orders the list by number of hits referred and is smart enough to combines hits different referrers but from the same domain. It won't detect hits from the domain on which your blog is hosted so that usres don't see your obsessive reloading of your page. It also has the ability to let you specify pretty names for the blogs that connect to you so users see links to Bob's Blog instead of bob_blog.com or whatnot.

/plugins/macros

macros - highly generalized macros plugin; can do everything macrolinks can do, as well as several other less-general plugins. Modelled on the widely-used MT-Macros.

/plugins/meta

cvsinfo - Fills variables with CVS keyword values and strips unix-like comments.
meta - Populates the $meta namespace with variables corresponding to meta tags (e.g. meta-username:douglas) found in the "header" (anything before a blank line) of a weblog post
rating - For stories specifying a meta-rating value (using the meta plug-in), this plug-in generates numerical, textual, star, and graphical representations of said rating for use in a flavour template.
storystate - Storystate provides a number of convenience variables for use with the interpolate_fancy plugin by Blosxom author Rael Dornfest. It was designed to be especially useful with writeback. Storystate also allows presence of a meta-writeback tag to control if writebacks are open or closed. It's basically useless without interpolate_fancy.

/plugins/output

autotrack - Automatic or semi-automatic trackback pinging
blosxom2lj - Writes unchanged entries to livejournal.
ping_weblogs_com - notifies weblogs.com that your weblog has been updated
ping_weblogs_com_xmlrpc - Notifies weblogs.com [http://www.weblogs.com] and other sites

/plugins/silly

bloglikeapirate - Turns your posts into pirate-speak (Aar!) Can also be used from the command line.
scrmable - A plugin adaptation of Jamie Zawinski's scrmable script to scrmable all but the first and last letters in a word. Tests the assertion that, so long as the first and last letters of a word are in place, legibility isn't affected by scrambling all the other letters.
wordscramble - Scrambles the words in your Blosxom blog. This is a stupid trick, but you might like it as an example of using Inline::Python inside a Blosxom plugin. Includes a deferred-til-runtime binding to lower low overhead.

/plugins/sort

sort_by_name - Sort your entries by file name (instead of by date)
sort_by_path - Sorts Weblog entries by path rather than in the default reverse-chronological order.
todo - This is a pretty simple plugin; it munges the specified story's modification time to now. I use it to make sure that my To Do List always shows up under today's date.
zlocaldepth - Allows you to use the config plugin to set the depth of your page on a page-by-page basis.

/plugins/syndication

necho-flavour - This zip file contains a set of Blosxom flavour files that implement a syndicated feed in the new syndication format that is currently called Echo but that will eventually called something else. The spec is prerelease, so this implementation should be regarded as a proof-of-concept rather than as a finished product.
rss10 - provides the extra bit of programming needed to produce a valid RSS 1.0 feed for syndication
rss30 - hack of rss10 to output RSS 3.0. uses flavour files.
syndicated - Displays content syndicated via RSS.

/plugins/text

atx - Write Blosxom entries in atx, the true structured text format.
autocorrect - offers possible matches for a weblog entry that has been moved to another part of the weblog's category hierarchy
coderpants - This plugin does a tiny bit of formatting in the tradition of the smartypants and textile plugins by allowing you to designate in-line code snippits via '@' and code blocks via '@@'.
dictionary - Takes terms from a list in a text file and replaces all instances of those terms with a link to a page that has the definitiions.
foreshortened - creates a version of the weblog entry body ending at the end of the first sentence (ideal for shortened, plaintext versions of stories for an RSS feed)
kwiki - Uses Brian Ingerson's excellent Kwiki wiki software as a formatting tool for Blosxom weblog entries.
