Weblog Entry Metadata

[Matt Raible <mr...@gmail.com>]

Did anything ever come of this?

http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Proposal_WeblogEntryPlugin

I'm interested in adding this functionality to Roller.

Thanks,

Matt

There's a table already in the createdb.vm but it still not fully
functional. I was going to update the proposal to use a more flexible
store than property-value pairs and use "triples" in the table so we can
 store more complex types of objects.

Maybe we can discuss this in more detail, Matt.

The first two for sure, not so sure about the last one.  I have a
potential client that may pay for me to do this work (as well as
contribute it back to Roller).

I sent him the link and here's his response:

If I get it right, I'd have access to those attributes from the view. It
seems to be exactly what we need, so much so that it looks like I
pilfered the idea from the below URL.

Yes and no.

We added the ENTRYATTRIBUTE table, which allows us to add arbitrary  
name/value properties to each weblog entry, and we use that table to  
store podcast data, but we didn't do the rest of the work to enable  
plugins to define and access attributes.

I'd like to see that work completed too. What parts are you  
interested in?
* adding arbitrary name/value properties to blog entries
* allowing plugins to define define new fields for the weblog entry form
* hooking entry events
