Blog entry name formats hardcoded to ddMMyy?

[John Lusk <jo...@gmail.com>]

Looks like blog entry name formats are more-or-less hardcoded to ddMMyy format,
based on my quick read of the source code. Perhaps this date format should
be a parameter on the WeblogEntryPlugin itself. (I myself would prefer
something like yyyyMMdd.)

I'd file an issue, but it looks like I have to jump through some more hoops
to get set up with Apache Jira and I've already spent enough time on this.

Ya, I have it as a personal action item to get a pull request to y'all, but
it's WAY down the priority list, so realistically... ain't gonna happen any
time soon. :/

I'm not sure I'll be blogging much on my wiki, anyway. It was just
something I flirted with. I think it'll mostly be just writing new wiki
pages as the fancy strikes me, and trusting RSS to put them in
chronological order for my vast readership. <poker-face/>

Thanks for calling out template dependencies (and for the feedback).

John.

Hi John,

You are right:  the weblog-entry-plugin is kind of "half cooked"  and can
use some rework to remove the hard-coded assumptions it makes.  (like the
data in the page-name,  but also how comments on posts are being handled,
etc.)

Note that the HADDOCK Template contains logic on several places to comply
to those assumptions.
Therefore upgrading the weblog plugins would need to go hand in hand with
JSP updates.

Very welcome to provide suggestion how this can be improved,  or propose
patches for implementation.

Best regards,
     dirk
