Blog: Images and Comments

[calo1]

The blog feature is integrated , but we need images to go to a database. Also fix bugs in the commenting feature

[calo1]

There are also some formatting issues in the blog itself

The time has come: it's time to talk about database. The current version of Farmview is using PostgreSQL running on Heroku; free plan for now. @kbourque, you can find the database credentials on Heroku dashboard.

@kbourque, I have a question. Where is the text content and comments currently stored when you create a blog post?

@kbourque I'm working a bit on blogs today.

Here are some minor things I think could use polishing:

1) Readme file ( indicate the required textism formatting) and provide a link to textism documentation resources

2) The CSS for the sidebar looked great on your demo, but got lost when it was merged.

3) What do the SITE(s) option and example url options intended to do on the admin panel

4) What is the best way to provide images? Either we do farmview-supported image hosting or we do image source referencing in the text?

Hey Taek,

I'll update the readme file and look into the other issues. I will let you know what I have in the next few hours.

Thanks, Kim

Also, are you talking about this in regards to the sidebar?

I can change that easily. Working on comments and image upload now.

[calo1]

@kbourque yes, the CSS for the sidebar

[kbourque]

In regards to the comments, I was thinking we could just use Disqus for the commenting system as I would have to set up e-mail configurations for Zinnia's comment system; that was the issue earlier. I have successfully integrated Disqus, but let me know if that is not the route you want to go.

Let's discuss (haha) tomorrow! I think DIsqus is very reasonable.
