flavourfiles - Serves static files related to flav...

Summary

This plugin allows flavour templates to use file urls that will resolve to files in the flavour directory. Those files will then get served by Pyblosxom.

This solves the problem that flavour packs are currently difficult to package, install, and maintain because static files (images, css, js, ...) have to get put somewhere else and served by the web server and this is difficult to walk a user through.

It handles urls that start with flavourfiles/, then the flavour name, then the path to the file.

For example:

http://example.com/blog/flavourfiles/html/style.css

Note

This plugin is very beta! It’s missing important functionality, probably has bugs, and hasn’t been well tested!

Install

This plugin comes with Pyblosxom. To install, do the following:

1. Add Pyblosxom.plugins.flavourfiles to the load_plugins list of your config.py file.

2. In templates you want to use flavourfiles, use urls like this:

   $(base_url)/flavourfiles/$(flavour)/path-to-file
   

   For example:

   <img src="$(base_url)/flavourfiles/$(flavour)/header_image.jpg">
   

The $(base_url) will get filled in with the correct url root.

The $(flavour) will get filled in with the name of the url. This allows users to change the flavour name without having to update all the templates.
