Site updates

• Ability to flip through groups of entries in a folder using moreentries
• Ability to move back and forth to next and previous story using the turnpage plugin
  • This plugin is inspired by prevnextstory however I wanted to restrict movement to articles within the current directory. These are sorted by creation date, as my web site is as a whole sorted by creation date, and thus category links are permalinks.
  • There might still be a problem with listing next and previous entries in directories other than notebook however…

• Tag parsing using the tagging plugin
  I want to take tags that are listed on a page as Keywords: item, item, etc. This would also allow for compatibillity with MultiMarkdown when converting Markdown to LaTex.

  Add this code to fube and have a bit option to turn on or off. idea is to run through each story and call the encode_keywords() function, which will replace the plain text line of keywords with linked versions, so that clicking on a keyword link will display all articles related to that keyword. of course this now requires me to write a search routine that indexes the keywords for every page, and i would hope something like this exists already.

  Also check out the font size proportional to # articles plugin and other keyword plugins. ahh this is called a tag cloud.

  looks like someone has already written my plugin for me: noone.org

  This guy also has tag clouds set up. Sweet

  Lastly I’d like to do the “related stories” feature…which is also in the tagging plugin. Awesome!

• Incorporated the seemore plugin. Now I can optionally specify exactly where in a page I want to cut content for display on category and archive pages. If I don’t, then the default cutoff decided by the $foreshortened plugin kicks in. Best of both worlds.
• Set up recurrent indexing to hopefully speed up site serves…Unfortunately generation of static pages for entries does not yet work so they still have a delay.

• Incorporated Frank Hecker’s update to the extensionless plugin. It turns out that his version wasn’t compatible with Blosxom 1.0.2. Thank you!
• Made modifications to lastmodified2 so that a page’s modification date reflected the actual mod date and not the value obtained by blosxom. This was a problem because I am using the entriescache plugin which replaces blosxom’s modification dates with creation dates. Thus lastmodified was caching based on creation instead of modification.
