A hack to get Blogofile 0.7.1 based blogs building on 0.7.2 or above

_0.README.markdown

Blogofile 1.0-DEV (soon to be 0.7.2) changed the blog controller so that all of the configuration is done in the controller itself. Users upgrading to 0.7.2 will have a choice to make: upgrade their _controllers directory to use the new controller, or install this hack to get all the defaults back that got lost in translation.

_config.py

# Run this in your _config.py before you set any blog settings:

execfile("_legacy_blog_settings.py")

_legacy_blog_settings.py

#### Blog Settings ####
blog = controllers.blog

## blog_enabled -- Should the blog be enabled?
#  (You don't _have_ to use blogofile to build blogs)
blog.enabled = False

## blog_path -- Blog path.
#  This is the path of the blog relative to the site_url.
#  If your site_url is "http://www.yoursite.com/~ryan"
#  and you set blog_path to "/blog" your full blog URL would be
#  "http://www.yoursite.com/~ryan/blog"
#  Leave blank "" to set to the root of site_url
blog.path = "/blog"

## blog_name -- Your Blog's name.
# This is used repeatedly in default blog templates
blog.name = "Your Blog's Name"

## blog_description -- A short one line description of the blog
# used in the RSS/Atom feeds.
blog.description = "Your Blog's short description"

## blog_timezone -- the timezone that you normally write your blog posts from
blog.timezone = "US/Eastern"

## blog_posts_per_page -- Blog posts per page
blog.posts_per_page = 5

# Automatic Permalink
# (If permalink is not defined in post article, it's generated
#  automatically based on the following format:)
# Available string replacements:
# :year, :month, :day -> post's date
# :title              -> post's title
# :uuid               -> sha hash based on title
# :filename           -> article's filename without suffix
blog.auto_permalink.enabled = True
# This is relative to site_url
blog.auto_permalink.path = ":blog_path/:year/:month/:day/:title"

# full post content turn this feature on
blog.post_excerpts.enabled = True
