RSS Feeds 3.0
Can anybody point a reference or help me on configuring a "global RSS" for
my site.. I just installed roller 3 but it doesn't seem to have an option to
do this.
As now I only can get rss for single weblogs.

Re: Is it possible to authenticate the commenters
Posted by Dave <sn...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for the feedback and the detailed use-case Steve. I hope to
address some of these issues in the very near future, but the work
will (almost certainly) apply only to Roller 3.2 or later.

RE: Is it possible to authenticate the commenters
Posted by "Lihn, Steve" <ho...@merck.com>.
Dave,
Since the Comment Authenticator's getHTML() is called by the
ClientSideInclude javascript, there are a few limitations on it.
1. The Comment form is already produced. It can not be changed easily.
I tried to provide a segment of javascript, but it is not executed.
(maybe due to the nature of ClientSideInclude.)
An "init comment" method is better than ClientSideInclude.
In my case, I would like the authentication dialog right below "Name"
field. Not way down the form.
The request object sent to getHTML does not seem to be useful.
2. The getHTML will provide one of the two username-authentication
mechanisms:
1) If with WPM (ClearTrust), where the user is already
authenticated by Apache,
I will provide a checkbox to trigger a Javascript to append the
username to "Name" field.
2) If without WPM, I will provide the "Username" and "Password"
dialog.
The problem here is that the HTML from ClientSideInclude can
not execute
or compile more Javascript. So I have to use a cumbersome
checkbox to invoke onClick and call
a one-line javascript code. Otherwise, if I can execute a
segment of javascript, I would not need
the checkbox. Everything will happen transparently. This can be
accomplished by a modified onSubmit
method from the "init" method.
3. The other way of manipulating comment form is, upon correct
authentication (based on username, such
as mentioned above), the authenticate() method can populate fields
such as "Name", "Email", etc
from LDAP. (In this case, Name field does not even need to appear in
the form)
However, at present time, the request object can not be modified in
authenticate().
I tried a few Wrappers on request object to make it modifiable, none
seem to work...
I don't know what the solution could be here.
But this would offer great flexibility to enterprise developers.

You're correct, since you don't have access to the response object in
the CommentAuthenticator.getHTML() method, you're out of luck.
What if the getHTML() method accepted request and response objects?
Would that solve the problem?
public String getHTML(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse
res)
Or would it be better to support an "init comment" method so that
comment authenticators can manipulate the comment object before it
appears on the page.
public CommentData initComment(CommentData comment)
> Second, where is commentForm? The form name seems to be "form"? Is

Yes, that does appear to be a bug and it breaks remember info. The
form name should be "commentForm". I just committed a fix to SVN
trunk.

Re: Is it possible to authenticate the commenters

And if you have ideas about improving the CommentAuthenticator, nows a
good time to speak up. We're considering some changes to the comment
servlet to add CommentValidators. See:

Billy,
Are you an official administrator for the roller installation? Based on
my experience with roller 2.1, I don't think the extended menu options
appear unless you are, even if you are logged in.

Thanks for the responses.
However, I do have this set in the this set in the themes/basic/Weblog.vm

Hi Billy,
Check-out the roller30-template-guide.pdf and you can see all the
macros available.
The following macro supplies the navbar you currently see:
#showPageMenu($model.weblog)
The additional nav links are available using this macro:
#showAuthorMenu(true)

Hi Billy,
Check-out the roller30-template-guide.pdf and you can see all the
macros available.
The following macro supplies the navbar you currently see:
#showPageMenu($model.weblog)
The additional nav links are available using this macro:
#showAuthorMenu(true)
Cheers,
Richard

These are only shortcuts.
You have access to them through "settings".

Antwort: Weblog Navbar
Posted by Thomas-W Hofmann <th...@db.com>.
Hi Bill,
There are different templates which show one-or another way how the pages
can be set up.
Some do only include the Weblog - Menu - others also include the
Author-Menu.
However, to get it in your Template just add this piece of code :
#if( $utils.isUserAuthenticated() )
<div class="sidebarBox">
<div class="links">
<div class="rFolder">Editor Menu</div>
#showAuthorMenu(true)
</div>
</div>
#end
It also makes sure it is only shown when a user is loged in.
best regards

RE: Is it possible to authenticate the commenters

A few question on this segment of HTML. First, is it possible to set
commentAuthor Cookie from commentAuthenticator's getHTML? If yes, how?
There is no response object from that method.
Second, where is commentForm? The form name seems to be "form"? Is this
a bug?

Yes, you'll need to do a little Java coding, but it is possible to
implement your own comment authenticator. Here are the steps:
1) Implement the CommentAuthenticator interface below and in it,
check for LDAP login.
2) Put your implementation into the Roller classpath (e.g. in a jar in
WEB-INF/lib)
3) In your roller-custom.properties file override the property
'comment.authenticator.classname' and set it to your classname.
And here's the interface CommentAuthenticator.java:
package org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.util;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.roller.pojos.CommentData;
import org.apache.velocity.context.Context;
/**
* Interface for comment authentication plugin.
*/
public interface CommentAuthenticator {
/**
* Plugin should write out HTML for the form fields and other UI
elements
* needed to display the comment authentication widget.
* @param request comment form request object
*/
public String getHtml(HttpServletRequest request);
/**
* Plugin should return true only if comment posting passes the
* authentication test.
* @param request comment posting request object
* @return true if authentication passed, false otherwise
*/
public boolean authenticate(HttpServletRequest request);
}

RE: Is it possible to authenticate the commenters
Posted by "Lihn, Steve" <ho...@merck.com>.
To elaborate this issue a little more.
When a user makes a comment to a blog, he provides his name. We need to
find a way to validate this person is really who he claims to be. I have
browsed the web on this issue and found some interesting links. But it
appears some links are 2 years old...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Roller+comment+Authenticator
It seems that I can provide a custom class to authenticate the comment
via comment.authenticator.classname property. Is this feature working in
3.0?
We have put ClearTrust (WPM) in front of Roller. WPM seems to provide an
environment variable HTTP_CT_REMOTE_USER, which is the registered user
id. If in the custom class, I can compare or append the user id to the
commenter's name (if I requires users to provide his user id in the name
field), then I can authenticate who is making the comment.
Will this work? Is there more documentation how to write the
commentAuthenticator class?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
We are encountering an enterprise issue with the commenters being
anonymous.
Is it possible to authenticate the commenters, say via LDAP, in order
for that person to write comments?
I know this is stretching Roller very far. Any help is appreciated.

Re: RSS Feeds 3.0
Posted by Allen Gilliland <al...@sun.com>.
You can do this by going to the Server Administration page and doing 2
things ...
1. set a value for "handle of weblog to serve as frontpage blog"
2. check the box below it titled "enable aggregated frontpage feeds"
this will enable the frontpage blog's feeds to be an aggregation of all
blogs for you installation. so for example if you have a blog called
"main" which you use for the frontpage then the url should be something
like ...
/<your app context>/main/feed/entries/atom
