Newbie question: sample photo_gallery.py code doesn't work in 0.8b1?

[anindya.c...@gmail.com]

Hi Blogofilers,

I just found your wonderful package and forced myself to learn some useful HTML/CSS/mako template stuff to make my own themes with Blogofile 0.8b1. Now I have everything working well for my standard blog but I really need the photo gallery functionality. I thought I would try the sample photo_gallery code in blogofile docs here:

http://docs.blogofile.com/en/latest/controllers.html#a-simple-controller

So I copy that code into _controllers/photo.gallery, create the supplied templates for photo.mako and photo_index.mako, and enable it in _config.py. But when I attempt to build I get the following:

(blogofile)[achakraberti@fragged]:~>blogofile build -s testblog.com

ERROR:blogofile:Fatal build error occured, calling bf.config.build_exception()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/achakraberti/.virtualenvs/blogofile/bin/blogofile", line 9, in <module>

    bf.writer.materialize_template("photo.mako", (photos_dir,photo+".html"), {"photo":photo})

AttributeError: 'Writer' object has no attribute 'materialize_template'

OK, so this may be my Python ignorance, but I thought ok, let me try to just run the relevant bits from photo_gallery.py manually on python command line to see if I get a different result. Here's what I got:

(blogofile)[achakraberti@fragged]:~/testblog.com>python

Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug  1 2012, 05:14:39)

>>> import os

>>> from blogofile.cache import bf

>>> photos_dir='pictures'

>>> photos = [p for p in os.listdir(photos_dir) if p.lower().endswith(".jpg")]

>>> photos

['IMAG1570.jpg', 'IMAG1571.jpg']

>>> for photo in photos:

...    bf.writer.materialize_template("photo.mako", (photos_dir,photo+".html"), {"photo":photo})

... 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>

TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 1 argument (4 given)

So I am very confused - how can I make this simple controller work? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
