Announcing Teh - the minimalist blog tool using Google App Engine

bootload · on May 4, 2008

Nicely done ~ http://github.com/btbytes/teh/tree/master/webapp.py and shows just how versatile the framework is by the number of different libs being used. Bret still hasn't released his sample code ~ http://bret.appspot.com/entry/experimenting-google-app-engin... so this is good for users. The feed doesn't work. The best bit Bret showed was the decorator '@administrator'. My version uses webpy, sans disqus. Work on that some other time ~ http://seldomlogical.com

Thanks.

The feed is in Atom format. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox.

Feedvalidator tells me that the date does not follow RFC-3339. I'll fix that.

"... The feed is in Atom format. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. ..."

The reason why is you need a link tag per entry. For example:

  feed
   ...
   entry
     title
     id 
     updated
     link <link href='http://foobar.com/permalink'/>
     summary 
     content

the link bit was what I was missing so firefox goes to retrieve the link, finding it's not there fails. I just spent some time today fixing this myself.

I've got the same bug on my todo list. For some reason the date string format works ok but doesn't render "T" & "Z"'s. Also liked the disqus integration which I have yet to work out. Have you got any idea how much more data per post the discussion adds?

Don't let it stop you just choose a different framework or set of modules, show the code. More examples the merrier.

i agree, argh, but i have a few other things that i need to get out the door that i should b releasing to opensource. RegAPI stuff for SecondLife, a jQuery SettingsManager for OpenSocial, and a possible XUL extension for FF. When I get to GAE, i will post it, but for now its going to have to wait till a lull
